Spring and summer seasons offer a natural time of renewal. There is energy in the air. The buds on the trees and new life outside can inspire you to refresh and renovate the inside of your home. It is the time when most people are pulling back the drapes, re-arranging furniture, finally doing that remodeling project and adding new color.
Here are some quick color ideas that can inspire you to allow the power of spring to refresh your home:
The Kitchen: Create a breezy feeling
This is where you and your family start the day. Breakfasts are made; homework is done and family issues are discussed. Since it is a room that usually has a lot of activity, you want the walls and color palette to feed that energy and keep a positive vibe as well. This year, light blues and yellows are en vogue.

The Foyer and Hallways: A stroll through the garden.
Take a nod from the outdoors and liven up your common areas with a pastel green palette. It reflects the delicacy and charm of a walk through a new garden or forest setting and creates a sense of renewal.
The Bedroom: It’s time to relax and rejuvenate.
While bold colors and accent walls were the trends in recent years, bedroom paint trends in 2013 have been peaceful. It stands to reason – the bedroom should be a place of zen-like rejuvenation. And, in the spirit of spring, we recommend some renewal colors that are reminiscent of a spa visit – dusty grays or subdued blues.
