You've probably seen them by now, the many popular paint colors for 2022.

Whether you live for bold and moody hues or you prefer lighter or softer shades, the popular paint colors for 2022 truly run the gamut — which is why Rent.com talked with interior designers and paint experts about the best ways to style your apartment using these trendy colors.

This is our segment in the article:

“2022 is the year of making statements! Show off your personal growth by expressing your boldness with an ocean of blues, greens and moody black hues," says Autumn Rose Interiors. "You can start by adding a pop of dark accents to bookshelves and table-scapes. Once you're ready, try long, dark, luscious drapes to provide a beautiful contrast to neutral light walls or take it to the next level with a surprise room — like a dark, moody powder bath or bedroom.”

We gathered a few photos from our portfolio that really express this idea. Hope you enjoy browsing through them!

This black velvet sofa has such a grounding effect in this tall and elegant room! The art behind also adds to the moody/stormy effect, all of which then ties in with the dark floors and other black details in the space.

We love how the wainscotting in this dining room invites the family and guests to linger and connect. It feels welcoming and cozy.

This chair looks even more stunning in person! It is a perfect example of the dramatic and cozy effect of deep moody color mixed with equally dramatic texture, in this case velvet.

This office that opens to the entry of a beautiful new construction home features a beautiful dark accent wall with lovely finish trim work. It sets the room apart from other spaces in the home, creates a soothing and anchoring effect.

Hope this encourages you to think about incorporating some deep, moody, and bold colors into your spaces in 2022. We feel the new beginnings in the air, and hope you are feeling inspired about your life and your home! And thank you to Rent.com for featuring tips from our designers!
