by Kevin Smith Author

2019 will bring new interior design trends into focus, and one of these is already taking off in homes and public spaces across America: Behr's 2019 color of the year. It's called Blueprint, and it's sure to be a popular choice for interior painting in Marietta this year.

Blueprint is a cool mix of blue, green, and gray, for a twilight-like color that inspires creativity, calm, and sophistication all at once.

Here are some style tips for this unique new blend from Behr.

A Bold Choice for Kitchens

Modern kitchens aren't plain white or gray anymore. A modern kitchen should be full of bold color and pops of personality. Blueprint is a great choice for kitchens because it's calm and cozy, but also elegant and refined. Paint your walls or cabinetry Blueprint for a kitchen that's perfect for weekend morning breakfasts as well as nighttime parties with friends.

Accent Walls

If you prefer more conservative color choices like neutrals, try Blueprint or a similar color by a different paint brand. It's a great color to introduce you to the world of bold, beautiful wall paint, and how such strong color choices can affect a room's personality. Try Blueprint as an accent wall color, paired with other light gray surfaces. Blueprint also matches well with woodsy brown hues.

Decorating with Blueprint

Decorating bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, offices, and more is easy with Blueprint. You shouldn't have to make too many changes because, as bold as it is, Blueprint also matches with virtually everything. However, it matches particularly well with black surfaces, gold hardware, and white trim and baseboards. Blueprint will bring out richness in hardwood flooring, and can even bring out the intricacies of stone surfaces. Blueprint with a glossy finish can make rooms feel brighter and more alive. Blueprint with a matte finish, meanwhile, is excellent for highlighting strong architectural features in your home.

Style Versatility

Blueprint matches with virtually every interior decorating style, so it's a great choice for virtually every room of your home. Whether you prefer minimal decor, Old World elegance, or even Bohemian chic, Blueprint is a great color choice to set the stage. It goes well with natural tones like desert pink, as well as soft grays and even lively green indoor plants. Pair it with modern design elements or traditional ones. It's one of the most versatile color choices for virtually any room.
