As Spring swings into full gear, we’re seeing a surge interest in interior painting among homeowners in DC. Painting trends for 2009 offer a range of tones and styles to choose from.
Recommended Colors Based on DC Painting Trends:

• Country Chic: For a classic, rustic look with a stylish twist, opt for earthy colors like dusty yellow, robin’s egg blue, cinnamon red, or sage green.
• Pure Minimalist: For a clean, airy look, opt for light gray, champagne, or creamy off-white.
• Hip & Modern: For bold trendsetters, try silvery gray or a combination of gray tones, soft “heather tone” purple, or bright coral.

As always, you should lean toward lighter colors in small rooms, with the possibility for a bright or dark colored accent wall. Also consider choosing neutral wall colors if you plan to put your home on the market in the near future. You can always use accessories and window treatments to satisfy your craving for color while you wait to sell. However your home may not be a great match for just any of the 2009 painting trends. DC homeowners are encouraged to speak with a home decor professional to make sure their paint choices matches the style and and fixtures of the rest of the home.
