America’s Color Consultants: Trends We See for 2022

People are going 'opposite' with their home color choices.

by

As we emerge from our COVID cocoons, we at America’s Color Consultants (ACC) have noticed one trend emerging that we expect will continue in 2022: people are going opposite!  Those with warm/beige walls are opting for cool grays, whites, and gray-greens. Those who have been living with cooler colors are opting to warm them up!

Our clients that are in their forever homes are asking for bolder, brighter colors: they are unlikely to follow color trends. Clients who plan to sell in 3-5 years continue to opt for the lighter neutrals that work with their decor: Agreeable Gray, Sea Salt and Ancient Marble by Sherwin-Williams; Gray Owl, Horizon and Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore continue their popularity streak. The beautiful gray/green shades that are being highlighted by paint manufacturers for 2022 are proving to be popular with clients doing a total renovation and also for new builds (October Mist-Benjamin Moore; Evergreen Fog-Sherwin Williams).

Another striking trend to emerge is the desire to add personality to one’s home with architectural elements such as wainscotting, coffered ceilings, and  “feature” walls created with furring strips in various patterns.  Many ACC clients are also painting their stair railings and balusters a dark brown/black or deep gray color. Some are even trying out these dark colors on the window/door framing and moldings of a “trial” room to see how they like the look. If you are ready to try something new, but need some expert guidance to do it, a member of the America’s Color Consultants team is ready to assist!

ACC was developed as a result of the desire for work/life balance and job satisfaction. The founders - who are serial entrepreneurs and moms - recognized and embraced the joy accompanying the adage: if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. After several years of success with their local paint color consulting business, they took it to the next level, developing a national franchise to offer others an opportunity to flex their creative muscles, own their own business, and meet new people and unique challenges. 

If you have an “eye for color” and are considering a career change, an encore career, or even a side hustle, reach out to Florence Jones or Susan Mintz to get more information about franchise opportunities with America’s Color Consultants.  (Hint:  the Alexandria territory is available!)
