With cold weather on the not-so-distant horizon, you’re probably looking for new ways to make your home feel as comfy as possible this winter. Luckily, with the right paint colour palette and a team of professional painters, you can quickly transform your space into the warm winter hideout you’ve been dreaming of. From your bedroom to the living room and everywhere in between, here are six cozy paint colours to try this winter.
Creamy Whites
Shades of white with warm, creamy undertones are easy to work with and rarely go out of style. Ideal for kitchens and entryways, these warm white tones are inviting, clean, and cozy. Best of all, you can pair off-whites with almost any other colour under the sun. To keep things home and cheerful opt for metallic gold accents and dark walnut-coloured woods.
A great creamy white to try is Benjamin Moore’s “Simply White” which has been a favourite among interior designers for years. The creamy undertones in this white create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that is perfect for the winter season.
Warm Greens
Warm greens often have yellowish undertones, making them an easy way to incorporate a bit of yellow in a room without going full mustard. From olive to pistachio–these shades of green bring energy and light into spaces that might otherwise feel dull and cold in the winter. Try using warm greens in your home office or workout room to liven them up. When it comes to pairing green with other colours, opt for simple accents such as tan, white, or black.
If you’re new to the green scene, start with Sherwin Williams’ “Hazel” which is a muted green with warm undertones. This colour works well in any room and can be easily paired with neutral or bold decor. It also looks great when used as an accent wall.
Rusty Reds
While vibrant reds may be too aggressive for the walls, rusty reds bring the perfect amount of warmth without being too in-your-face. These subtle red paint colours often veer into the orangy-brown territory and work well in living rooms and dining rooms. Keep your pallet simple and pair rusty reds with white accents or go bold and opt for navy blue or teal accents.
A fun colour to try is Benjamin Moore’s “Rustic Brick” which is a deep mix of red and brown. This colour looks great in any room and can be used as an accent wall or for all walls for a bold look. It pairs well with both neutral and bold decor, making it a versatile choice.
Neutral Browns
From light taupes to dark chocolates, brown is an easy colour to work with and lends itself well to smaller rooms. Regardless of the shade you choose, brown paints are sure to bring the cozy vibes you’re looking for in the winter. Elevate your brown room with accent colours such as deep beautiful reds, navy blues, and shades of gold. In the kitchen, bronze-coloured hardware pairs beautifully with brown as well.
If you’re in search of a serene and calming neutral brown, consider Benjamin Moore’s “Baywood Brown”. This warm beige hue is a versatile neutral that complements an array of accent colours, making it ideal for any room in your house.
Despite its simplicity, “Baywood Brown” lends a sense of sophistication and timeless appeal to your space. It works beautifully with deep reds, blues, and gold accents in particular, offering an earthy and inviting aesthetic. Whether you’re considering an accent wall or a complete room makeover, this colour is a reliable choice for a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Foggy Greys
Easy, neutral, and inviting–grey paints are nearly as timeless as classic whites making them a no-brainer when you’re looking for colours that will stand the test of time. Opt for shades of grey with warm undertones as these colours evoke cozy vibes, calmness, and stress relief. An ideal colour for the bedroom, living room, or kitchen–pair your grey paint with vibrant orange or deep green accents.
A timeless grey paint colour that pairs perfectly with warm undertones is “Edgecomb Grey” by Benjamin Moore. This particular shade of grey has a slight beige undertone, making it an excellent choice for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in any room. Its versatility allows it to pair well with a variety of accent colours, from deep greens and blues to warmer shades like coral and terracotta
Beautiful Burgundy
Burgundy is the perfect mix of moody and elegant, making it a great choice for your living room or reading nook. With hints of brown and purple, burgundy naturally pairs well with simple colours such as white, natural wood, or light grey. To make your space more unique, opt for accent colours such as light lilac, gold, or teal.
If you’ve ever wondered how to incorporate burgundy into your home, consider “Burgundy SW 6300” by Sherwin Williams. This deep, rich shade of moody red adds warmth and sophistication to any space. Pair it with natural materials like wood and rattan for a rustic feel or contrast it with bold patterns and metallic accents for a more modern look.
