How to use the 2022 color of the year in my home?
Often when our clients, hear the word “color,” they get very intimidated straying outside of timeless neutrals.
When it comes to soft muted greens, these hues are versatile and work well with a variety of colors, regardless of the design style. Think of this “new” muted green as a neutral! The lightest shades of sage can even be a nice alternative to white, especially in a space that looks out onto a view of trees or grass.

We have used Benjamin Moore’s “October Mist” as an accent wall in a recent project. Since this was an open concept area, this color helped define the dining room space. It creates a visual of where the space starts and ends.
A great way to incorporate this color into your home besides paint — the décor. Decorative accessories such as accent pillows in sage, faux greenery such as eucalyptus leaves in vases, and artwork are some ways to add color into your home without a major commitment.
The color trends for 2022 are transitioning from stark white and greys to warm muted greens. Are you excited about the new color of the year?
