Fall for Paint
Refresh your home this Fall with our guide to eco friendly picks, and our favourite colour palettes this season. story: Celine MacKay
Taking on paint in the home is always a large undertaking. You have colour selections to make, supplies to buy, rooms to clear out, and the list goes on. We’re keeping it fun and interesting by helping you with colour selection too with on-trend shades that will update any room in an instant. This fall we’re seeing a movement back to earthy tones, but not in the traditional burnt-umber kind of way. This time, colours are softer, with green, gray and taupe undertones. The palettes are subtle and calming, with a true influence of colours found from nature – dark, moody blue-gray, green with a gray undertone, muddy creams, sandy browns, soft mauves…. The first step, though, is to decide which paint to choose. The market is abundant with ‘green’ paint, but buyer beware, all paint is not created equal. Our guide to green paint will help make your options a bit easier as you change your look this season.
