Warm Paint Colors to Cozy Up Your Home This Season

by Chelsea Creekmore

As Autumn sneaks in, with crisp breezes and changing leaves before giving way to winter winds and wet conditions, it might be time to cozy up your home with warm paint colors. Warm paint colors can bring new energy to a space while invoking feelings of comfort and relaxation.

Here at Hoover Paint Store, we have several locations throughout Central Tennessee where you can find high-quality Benjamin Moore paint colors to bring warmth into your home and the tools to complete the job.

Is It a Warm or Cool Color?

Every color is either warm or cool. On the color wheel, warm primary colors are reds, yellows, and oranges, while cool primary colors are greens, blues, and purples. Even neutrals, such as beige, white, and gray, have warm or cool undertones.

You don't need to choose a bold color to make a big change in a room. Using warm paint colors in a previously cool room will instantly energize it. For an even cozier feel, consider adding decorative elements, like area rugs, wallpaper, vases, and throw pillows.

Examples of Warm Colors from Benjamin Moore

Warm colors uplift and encourage. They’re inspiring and energizing because they often remind us of the sun and fire, which is a great feeling when the weather outside is anything but sunny and warm. When you paint or decorate with them, they can bring liveliness and positivity into your room, making your home feel warmer.

If you're painting with a warm color on an accent wall or adding it to furniture or kitchen cabinets, select a warm, neutral paint color to complement it. These shades can also be a more subtle way to introduce a warm color into your home. A neutral can balance the two if you have a room with both cool colors, like pale blue drapery, and warm colors, like leather furniture with red undertones.
