New Year, New Hue: Paint Resolutions for a Fresh Start

If your new years resolutions include using your new gym membership and finally becoming the kind of person who makes the bed every morning, we’ve got an easier one for you: give your walls a fresh start instead. A new coat of paint is the quickest way to reset your space and your mindset.  
 
Here are a few paint resolutions that’ll help you kick off the new year bright, bold and beautifully refreshed. 

1. Sample before you commit

Before you haul out the rollers and playlists, start small. Our Peel & Stick swatches let you try on your dream color, without the mess, stress or “what was I thinking?” moments. 

 

Whether you’re flirting with Headspace or seeing where things go with Neutral Territory, you can test your favorites commitment-free. Think of it as speed dating, but for your walls. 

2. Finally paint that room

You know the one. The room that’s been “on your list” since the last time “Hot Girl Summer” was trending. Let this be the year you do it. 

 

Good Jeans, @kyrosedesigns

Feeling blue? But in a good way? Try Flow State, an airy, light blue that’s as calming as your morning scroll should be. Or slip into Good Jeans, a timeless denim-inspired hue that looks good on every room. Want something dark and dreamy for your bedroom? Goodnight Moon brings instant cozy energy (and pairs well with eight hours of sleep you’ll definitely start getting soon). 

Pro tip: a little color goes a long way toward making your space (and year) feel brand new. 

3. Go bold in at least one space 

Every year needs an “all eyes on me” moment—and yes, your powder room counts. So go ahead and make a statement.

 

Subrosa, @ashleyswhiteside

Try a rich coral-pink like Pink Sky, a moody red like Big Apple or the perfect rose-tinted neutral, Rosé Season. They’re the kind of colors that say, “I take design risks,” and they always pay off.  

Fresh start, fresh color 

Whether you’re sampling, repainting or going full bold-and-beautiful, your walls deserve a little refresh this year. Start fresh with color that inspires you and makes your space feel as good as your new planner looks.
