Happy 2026! We love the feeling of a fresh start, and an interior paint refresh for your home or business is a great way to lean into that feeling. If you’ve been considering an interior color change, there’s no better time to tackle this fun project. Here are our suggestions and recommendations for making your New Year’s paint refresh a success.

Let Color Trends Inspire You

Paint color selection is exciting, but there are LOTS of options. If you need to narrow it down, look no further. Our favorite paint brands released their colors of the year to help get those ideas flowing. Here are the 2026 Colors of the year from Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG.

All three Colors of the Year (COTYs) have so much potential. Universal Khaki and Silhouette are great grounding neutrals. They each have many rich, complementary and contrasting colors to play with. Secret Safari is ideal for bold color lovers who really want to make a statement with their New Year’s paint refresh. 

Explore and Sample

When you’re planning an interior paint refresh, it’s fun to explore the possibilities. There are lots of ways to things out before you book a painting project.

  • Use a color wheel to find complementary colors (adjacent) and contrasting colors (across) that could be a part of your new interior color palette. 
  • Upload photos to an app that lets you visualize your favorite color in the room you’d like to paint. 
  • Order a paint sample from your favorite brand. Paint a small area in the room you’d like to repaint. Ideally that area will get natural light, as well as your preferred interior lighting, so you can see how the color looks both ways. 
  • Try a peel-and-stick swatch. Using a peel-and-stick is an easy way to see how paint colors look on the wall without making a big commitment. This is a good method for deciding on a particular shade, because you can see multiple, subtle differences in different lights without ordering and opening multiple cans of paint.

Treat Yourself to a Simple Refresh

Most interior paint refreshes are as simple as painting over your current color. They can be completed quickly, without disruption to your life or work. Paint refreshes can boost morale and give your mood that satisfying lift that so often comes from trying something new.
