Spring is right around the corner in Westchester, which means that there’s no time like the present to pick up a new paint color or two to give your home a seasonal refresh. Here, local experts share chic, stylish hues that will enliven your space just in time for the first blooms to start peeking out from the ground. While their choices range from warm to cool tones, they all are approachable paint colors that bring light and freshness to any interior — especially one in need of a pick-me-up after a long winter in Westchester.
“I’m loving pale-salmon and orangey-pink colors now. Two on my list are Faded Terracotta — a “California” color from Kelly Wearstler — and Setting Plaster, both from Farrow & Ball. I recommend Setting Plaster on kitchen cabinets, believe it or not, paired with deep-raspberry colors, which have made a comeback, and slightly warm neutrals. Favorite neutrals are Benjamin Moore OC-19 Seapearl and Sherwin-Williams Natural Choice.”
—Debra Kling, Debra Kling Colour Consultant
“Benjamin Moore Decorators White is my go-to for creating a fresh and light-filled space. The simplicity of white makes a room feel clean and allows the other elements in the room to take center stage.”
—Shannon Murray, Shannon Murray Interiors
“Misty by Sherwin-Williams is a great color choice for cabinetry in kitchens and baths. It ranges from an airy, calming whitish hue in sunny areas to a smoky blue in the shadows. We’ve used it on both modern and traditional cabinetry. Satin-brass and nickel finishes work equally well and give each space a unique look.”
