Whether you’re refreshing a quiet reading nook, adding charm to a laundry room, or designing a serene bedroom retreat, the possibilities are endless with the BEHR® 2026 Colour Trends Palette. Led by our standout Colour of the Year, Hidden Gem, and supported by a harmonious blend of grounded tones and elevated hues, this palette transforms every corner of your home into a space that feels intentional, expressive, and full of life.
Let’s explore how these hues bring inspiration, comfort, and creativity to every space in your home. Rich, dusty plum tones like Curtain Call envelop a formal dining room in moody sophistication. Applied using a dramatic colour drench technique where walls, cabinetry and trim are painted in the same hue, this approach creates a sense of depth. The result is a space that feels both cozy and refined, elevating everyday dining into an elegant experience.
A home office nook comes to life with the warm, earthy glow of Terracotta Urn. This inviting hue fosters creativity and emotional warmth, ideal for a space designed for focus and inspiration. Its cozy richness makes every detail, from furniture to accessories, feel intentional and well-curated. Bathed in natural light, the terracotta radiates warmth and balance, creating an atmosphere that’s both grounded and energizing, perfect for boosting productivity or igniting new ideas.
Transform your bedroom into a serene retreat with the soft, airy elegance of Dainty Lace. This calming hue sets a peaceful tone throughout the space, creating an atmosphere of rest and relaxation. Subtle accents like Urban Nature on the closet doors introduce a gentle, nature-inspired contrast that brings balance and harmony to the room, perfect for unwinding and recharging.
A stable, reassuring blue like Adirondack Blue brings calm and clarity to the laundry room, turning everyday chores into a soothing ritual. Paired with a built-in mudroom painted in Ecological, the space gains a sense of order and ease, streamlining your routine while maintaining a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
A casual breakfast nook painted in Watery feels light, refreshing, and effortlessly welcoming. This soft blue hue brings a sense of calm and openness to the space, making it the perfect spot to ease into the day. Paired with soft white furniture and natural textures, the palette evokes a fresh, nature-inspired vibe that’s both uplifting and serene. It’s a space that invites you to slow down, sip your coffee, and truly savor the moment.
In a kitchen extension or walk-in pantry, classic hues like Wheat Bread and Cracked Pepper strike the perfect balance. These timeless shades add depth and character to hardworking spaces, enhancing their functionality without overpowering their traditional charm. The result is a refined, grounded look that feels both practical and beautiful.
Walls painted in Iced Copper infuse the bathroom with gentle sophistication. This warm blush tones pairs beautifully with gold hardware, adding a timeless touch of elegance, while dark wood cabinetry anchors the room with depth and richness. Together, these elements strike a perfect balance, ideal for a bathroom that’s as functional as it is luxurious.
In this neutral-drenched living room, Blank Canvas walls provide a clean, open backdrop that sets the stage for modern simplicity. Trim painted in Wheat Bread introduces a soft, natural warmth, while a fireplace in Baronial Brown anchors the space with rich, earthy depth. Layered wood tones and cozy textiles add texture and comfort, creating a minimalist room that feels inviting, balanced, and effortlessly stylish.
