Towards the end of every year, CK announces the colors we expect to see in abundance in the New Year, tipping interior designers on the colors to use for their home projects.

This year, our list of the most popular interior paint colors for homes has something for everyone – from modernists and traditionalists to minimalists and extravagant stylists.

Our top interior color picks for 2024 are as follows:

1. Navy blue

Although navy blue is a timeless color, its popularity has surely surged in the past few years. Navy SW 6241 was pinned as our color for 2024. The deep shade of blue reminiscent of the night sky is going to dominate most interior spaces this year.

2. Light pink

Light pink will be a popular interior paint color in 2024, according to top interior decorators. This refreshing and airy hue of pink is a revitalizing alternative to beige or white and can be used in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.

3. Golden yellow

Globally, yellow is widely recognized as the color of happiness and optimism. Although yellow instantly livens up any room, interior designers tend to use the color sparingly to avoid creating the opposite effect.

Golden yellow works well in living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, and workspaces.

4. Charcoal

Charcoal is one of the very trendiest colors to be used in almost any room. It goes well with other shades of grey and brings visual interest and depth into space.

This makes charcoal one of the ideal interior paint colors, whether used for a bathroom, kitchen, or even a bedroom.

5. Dark red

Dark red adds warmth and sophistication to any room. This was one of the most popular interior paint colors of 2023 and designers expect it to make waves in 2024.
