The trending colors for painting apartments include neutrals for interiors and modern colors with complementary accent colors that boost curb appeal. Interior neutrals can range from soft whites, through silvery grays, to earthy, nature-inspired tones. Exterior colors are also trending towards nature-inspired colors. “But, more accurately,” says Borlodan Painting Company owner, George Borland, “is asking why the paint colors for apartments are important.”
Trending interior colors
Neutral colors that support calm are good choices for apartment interiors, although some owners choose to paint one wall an accent color to give the apartment some extra eye appeal. Soft whites and grays, light grays with muted blue undertones, sand, light tans, and muted olive green all bring a sense of calm and peace to rooms.
The secret is finding the sweet spot on the color palette that feels modern, but not so trendy that it ages in a couple of years.
Trending exterior colors
Exteriors can be more dramatic to enhance curb appeal and attract the right tenants. One trend is to choose exterior colors that reflect the natural environment of the region. Apartments in seaside communities reflecting the colors of the ocean, beaches, and surrounding vegetation can be quite appealing. Other color influences can come from surrounding landscapes in rural, suburban areas, or mountain regions.
Warm beige, light grays, charcoal, sand and clay tones, ivory whites, coastal blues, and forest greens. Choosing complementary colors for the trim that are a little more dramatic adds balance to exteriors.
The Paso Robles painter team uses quality paint that is formulated to withstand California’s Central Coast weather, ensuring the exterior paint lasts for years.
Why are paint colors for apartments so important?
Just as a solid, professional paint job shows the pride homeowners take in their homes, the same is true for apartment buildings. A professional paint job, using carefully chosen colors, is:
- Visual example that the owner takes care of the property, and provides a clean, attractive place to live.
- Instant curb appeal, attracting tenants who take pride in their surroundings.
- Attracts tenants who are more likely to take care of their homes and be responsible tenants and neighbors.
Color is a highly personal choice, almost always influenced by individual taste. With the choices of paint colors, there’s a very good chance that there are trending colors that are going to appeal to almost everyone.
Color is only part of painting apartments, or any building. Working with a reputable, professional commercial painter is a top priority. Borlodan Painting Company has been the Paso Robles painter of choice since 2011. The Borlodan team focuses on delivering quality work from preparation to the final coat of paint.
Preparation is just as important, maybe even more so, than color. Clean walls, repaired dings and scratches in the walls, trim, and ceiling, are critical to how well paint or stain interacts with the surface. Household dust and grime stick to surfaces, especially kitchen oils from cooking.
- When applied to surfaces that are not properly prepared, the paint may peel or crack, or the color will appear uneven.
- Paint doesn’t fill damage, either. Scratches, gouges, and holes need to be filled and sanded before painting.
- Knowing which type of paint is appropriate for which surfaces is also important.
