The 17 Most Colorful Room Redos of 2023 (So Far!)

Interior designer Sean Doherty usedFarrow & Ball’s Red Earthon the new IKEA cabinets in hisnow-modern kitchen,which is right on trend for kitchens! Doherty’s best color advice? “Be bold in areas that are easily changeable,” he says. “If I end up hating it or selling, I could easily paint this a new color,” he explains, adding that his paint cost him about $60 total. “Changing tiles isn’t as easy.”See more photos and details here.

If going bold with red in kitchens is trending this year, the same can be said for pink in bedrooms.This bedroom, redone by mother-daughter DIY duo Maria (@purehappyhome) and Mary Kamara, is drenched in a coral-y pink,Valspar’s Salmon Run. (It was once a minty teal, Mary’s favorite color when she was younger.) The Kamaras decided to paint the crown molding in the room in the same color for easy coverage that also ups the drama.See more photos and details here.

This head-to-toe pink bedroomis a bit more of a lipstick pink,Benjamin Moore’s Palermo Rose. “In this case, the colors needed to be the right shade — not too peachy, and not too Barbie pink,” designer Ally Doman (@domandecors) says. “I think the final product turned out even better than I had planned.” Fun fact: The inspiration for this bedroom actually came fromBillie Eilish’s “Happier than Ever” music videoset.See more photos and details here.

Another way to go bold with color is to use wallpaper rather than paint. ThisMilton & King wallpaperpacks a punch in designer and artist Aynsley Wille’s (@aynsleyanne.studio通过添加大胆的颜色)浴室andpattern. “The wallpaper, hands-down, made the biggest impact on the space,” Wille says.See more photos and details here.

Another color trend to keep an eye out for in 2023? Orange on the ceiling. Lezeth Alfaro (@lezethh) used orange paint onher bedroom’sfifth wall (pictured above), and Hayley Fellows-Prior used itin her living room redo.Glidden’s Glowing Firelight, a red-orange, adds rich color and makes the room feel “taller but also more cozy,” Alfaro says.See more photos and details here.

A light orange makes a statement behind the headboard inthis bedroom redoby Lucía Gogenola (@proyectopasillodeco). Gogenola added matching picture frame molding for added sophistication, too, and then darker red-orange semicircles are repeated throughout the space to make the design cohesive.See more photos and details here.

Bedrooms are a great spot to go bold because they’re so personal, but that doesn’t mean other spots in the home don’t deserve a splash of color. This$200 bathroom redoby Trina Huizinga (@midmodhotdog) proves the power of paint, asValspar’s Desert Carnationtotally revived her 1960s bathroom. “I love that the ‘after’ gives this old bathroom new life without changing its character or cool retro original elements,” Huizinga says.See more photos and details here.

Renter Hannah Fröberg (@myplaceincolour)的情况下大胆的颜色添加到一个吻tchen: “The kitchen is the first room I go to in the mornings after I wake up,” she says. “I want it to be energetic, welcoming, and inspiring.” Her new goldenrod paint, retro yellow patterns, and lemon-colored pendant are better than espresso — and certainly livened upher kitchenfrom its more industrial and minimal beginnings.See more photos and details here.

Yellow paint (Valspar’s Sweet Lemon) helped revive the beat-up bunk bed and the wall behind it in this once-just-OKkids’ room. The after is way better than OK; it’s “so cheery” and “the happiest room in our house,” says homeowner Suzanne Kryton (@suzannekrytondesigns). In fact, the painted stripes turned out so well that people often ask if the yellow feature wall is wallpaper. Suzanne says she only regrets not decking out the whole room in yellow stripes.See more photos and details here.

Here, it’s hexagons to the rescue. Ji Hea Kim (@feedthehouse) wanted to liven up this underwhelming corner inher dining room, so she used a hexagon stencil, painter’s tape, andBehr’s English DaisyandSoft Boiledto create a honeycomb pattern. “I wanted the area to feel sunny and visually separate from the hallway, kitchen, and seating area,” Kim says. She also wanted to “create more of a zone and brighten the feel — almost like internal sunshine when you come home.” Mission accomplished!See more photos and details here.

Renter Morgan Jones (@mojounfiltered)和她的未婚夫,基督徒,转过身来their apartment entrywayinto a little jewel box, thanks to head-to-toegreen floral wallpaper. Morgan also has advice for going bold with color and pattern: “When you have a vision that is out of your ordinary style, trial it in a small space!” she says. “If you hate it, it’s easy to break down, and if you love it, you will always love visiting that space.” And she certainly loves coming in and out of her apartment now. “I love that the space now feels like its own special part of our apartment, and not just a transitional, forgotten space,” she says of the emerald entryway.See more photos and details here.

It turns out, doubling down on green was exactly what was needed for Anne’s (@ourhouseofdisco)1980s bathroomand its avocado fixtures and tan tile. The stripes add a sense of modernity to the space, making the tub, toilet, and sink look meant-to-be, and the bold pattern helps distract from the dated tan tile.

Thisliving room redocombines historic character with homeowners Jake Wilkinson and his partner, Megan’s, personal colorful style. They traded patterned ‘80s wallpaper for a deep green paint (Leyland Trade’s Forest Storm, a U.K.-brand) in the room. One other green detail to love? The floral tiles that Jake sourced from a local salvage shop and installed around the fireplace.See more photos and details here.

Libby Paulsen (@libpaulsen) and Sandor Hizo’s1950s bathroomstill had its original blue tile and tub, so they decided to source a blue sink and toilet from the same era to match, going all in on cornflower. After a months-long search, they found those at a demo sale. “We were so happy to save them,” Paulsen says. “Being able to salvage the original tile and bring in even more mid-century features to the bathroom was such a win for us.”See more photos and details here.

It only cost painter Rebekah Skovron (@rebbypaints) about $500 to totally transform heronce-plain gray bedroominto a bold blue and white wonderland. She used royal blue paint, multipurpose craft paper, and tape for her custom blue “wallpaper.”See more photos and details here.

The bold purple paint inthis bedroom redoisDunn-Edwards’ Plum Perfect— and it looks pretty darn perfect paired with the floral wallpaper and brass accessories in the space. “We chose bright colors to be energizing, but not chaotic,” homeowner Amala Raj Swenson (@amalarajinteriors) says of her room redo.See more photos and details here.

What better color for a “disco cocoon” than purple-meets-magenta? Thisvideo game roomwith a “dark, velvety, disco kind of vibe,” designed by Arlene Lord (@lorddesign.interiors), gets its color in part due to the fuchsia wallpaper and the deep green-blue paint on the walls (Benjamin Moore’s Dark Harbor), and mostly due to the customizable LED lighting. It’s totally unrecognizable from its beige farmhouse beginnings.See more photos and details here.
