New paint colors with flashy names come out every year. Whatever your personal interior decorating style, there are paint colors out there to match it. However, sometimes it’s difficult to discern which colors are trendy and which colors are here to stay. When you are choosing colors, just remember that you will most likely be living with these paint colors for a while. Even though painting a room in your Portland, OR home is one of the most cost-efficient ways to change any space, you don’t want to be painting a room every time the trends change.

Here are a few trends in paint colors that are turning into timeless styles:

White kitchens
If you thought we had seen the end of the white kitchen, think again. White kitchens are timeless, and for good reason. A kitchen painted in white interior paint will work for almost any home. White paint can be used anywhere; from a light, airy cottage kitchen to a modern kitchen design, and everything in between.

Black and white rooms
Just like in the fashion industry, the contrast of black and white is classic. Wedding dresses are white, and tuxedos are black, showing us just how elegant and dramatic this combination can be. A white kitchen with black accents or a bathroom with white subway tile and black floor gives your space a bold look. This contrasting duo leaves room for a pop of color wherever you may want one.

Navy blue
This one may be a bit more surprising to some people, but navy blue is as timeless and classic as black and white. Consider using navy blue paint in a dining room or formal living room. If navy blue seems too dark of a paint color for a whole room, just paint your built-in bookshelves. In order to keep a navy blue room up to date, change out pillows and other accessories over the years. You will always love this serene yet dramatic look.

Boldly painted front doors
Painting your front door can make a big statement and really add to your curb appeal. The great thing about painting your front door is that there are so many color options. When you are ready to choose a bold paint color for your front door, start by looking at the paint colors that will complement your current home exterior paint color. Whether you want to use a color that you find in your landscaping or go wild and introduce a new color, the choices are endless.
