## Just like your favorite pair of jeans, comfort blues never get old.

Color expert and interior designer Abbey Koplovitz of [AbbeyK, Inc.](https://abbeyk.com/) said denim and teal blues have a feel-good vibe that's hard to beat.

"It's really important to think about what colors [make you feel good in a space](https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-make-your-home-peaceful-interior-designers), and denim blue and soft teal are making people really comfortable at home right now," she said.

Koplovitz also said that part of the appeal of denim and teal blue may be due to the [rise in popularity of warm colors](https://www.businessinsider.com/best-colors-to-have-in-home-from-color-psychology-expert-2023), as "blue can be a warm tone."

## Incorporate green for a calming vibe.

Green can bring nature into the home.

According to interior designer and color expert Donna Grace McAlear, owner of [New Mood Design](https://www.newmooddesign.com/), calming, nature-inspired green can be a great choice for the home.

The expert said green, especially when used in furniture or accessory fabrics, painted wall surfaces, or [kitchen or bathroom cabinets](https://www.businessinsider.com/things-not-to-have-kitchen-interior-decorator-2023-8), can complement cool and warm hues and even connote nostalgia or modernity.

She especially likes deep-sage greens, such as [Farrow & Ball Calke Green](https://www.farrow-ball.com/en-us/paint-colours/calke-green), for antique furnishings.

## Orange stimulates the mind and body.

Orange is often identified as bright, happy, and uplifting.

According to architectural color consultant and interior designer Paula Kennedy of [Timeless Kitchen Design LLC](https://timelesskitchen.design/index.html), orange can be the perfect shade for a home gym or workout space because of its stimulating brightness.

"Orange can be a very strong and energetic color," she said. "Like yellow and red, it can be very attention-grabbing, which helps you to focus."

## Lavender and eggplant promote relaxation.

Soothing colors like lavender or eggplant will continue to be popular in 2024.

Kennedy said lavender and eggplant are especially good [color choices for the bedroom](https://www.businessinsider.com/worst-colors-for-bedroom-color-expert-2023-8) because they are "excellent calming colors that may increase rest and relaxation."

According to Kennedy, lavender and eggplant may also look good against various skin tones.

## Restful white pairs well with warm and cool colors.

Warm whites are going to be more popular in 2024.

Though stark whites are fading away, warm variations of the color are rising in popularity.

According to McAlear, shades like [Sherwin-Williams Restful White](https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/white-paint-colors/sw7563-restful-white) can [pair well with cool and warm colors](https://www.businessinsider.com/color-combinations-that-look-good-together-2018-8), but can also be used as a neutral backdrop to earth-toned and deeper color accents.

Koplovitz agreed that people are looking for a softer, more "uplifting" white without "a gray cast to it."

## A blend of blue and yellow can promote creativity.

Robin's-egg blue can be a particularly inspiring color.

For some rooms, blending colors like blue and yellow is the best way to [maximize the space's potential](https://www.businessinsider.com/couple-lives-in-tiny-home-on-wheels-with-office-bedroom-2023-6).

According to Kennedy, "calming blue" and "optimistic yellow" can create a stimulating, creative combination.

She recommends going with a robin's-egg blue, like [Sherwin-Williams Belize](https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/archived-paint-colors/sw6945-belize), because it can "promote calm" and has "enough yellow undertone to energize you, which enables clarity and focus."

## Wood tones will lighten up.

Bleached or white wood tones are in favor.

According to Koplovitz, who is seeing a trend toward sand-blasted flooring in bleached, light, and white oak, wood tones are going lighter in 2024.

She said more people are gravitating to "almost a sand color" that looks "bleached and then colored with a little bit of white."

The expert also cited a trend toward "bleached or natural woods with a clear coat on them, with no stain to get things darker."

## Earthy hues create a soothing sanctuary.

Earthy hues can be calming.

McAlear expects greater [demand for earth tones](https://www.businessinsider.com/best-colors-for-home-in-fall-color-expert-2023-9) in 2024 and beyond, saying they "create comforting and restful home environments, in keeping with trends toward greater personalization of the home as a sanctuary."

She recommends pairing warm, earthy beiges with green undertones, like [Sherwin-Williams Urban Putty](https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/yellow-paint-colors/sw7532-urban-putty), with mahogany-stained wood cabinets.
