"Presented by Kohler It's official! The neutral reign is ending-color now rules the room. Over the past few years we've seen it reenter the home through green kitchens, rich dark millwork, and spaces drenched in a single hue. Homeowners and designers are embracing the power of color, steering interiors from the cream, beige, and gray safety zone that has dominated taste for nearly two decades."
"Interiors are firmly in their expressive era as seen in the color- and material-drenched rooms still sweeping design fancies this year. However, this maximalist approach is beginning to evolve toward a more deliberate strategy: color blocking, the use of distinct, contrasting-or sometimes closely related-hues applied in defined sections to create visual structure. Dramatic yet livable, this strategy for playing with color may feel like a trend that reappears every few decades, but this iteration explores new territory."
Neutral palettes are losing favor as color reenters homes through green kitchens, dark millwork, and rooms drenched in single hues. Homeowners and designers are steering interiors away from cream, beige, and gray toward richer shades. Color blocking is emerging as a deliberate strategy that carves space, sharpens lines, and lends architecture to rooms. The approach uses distinct or closely related hues applied in defined sections to create visual structure. Current iterations feature tone-on-tone rooms, palette-building furniture, and unexpected placements of color swaths. Trend coverage includes palettes, decorative painting guidance, and debate over the longevity of color drenching.
