If you’ve ever walked into a room and immediately felt lighter, calmer, or just plain happier, there’s a good chance color had something to do with it. Interior designers have long known what scientists are now confirming—color plays a powerful role in how we feel at home.
And while not everyone is ready to commit to painting their entire living room sunshine yellow or teal blue (we get it!), that doesn’t mean you can’t take a few joyful risks.
Small Spaces, Big Impact
One of the best ways to introduce uplifting color into your home without feeling overwhelmed is by using it in smaller spaces. Think:
- A bold powder room
- A cheerful closet
- A playful laundry room
- Statement kitchen cabinets
These small-scale updates can transform the way a space feels without requiring a full-on makeover.
The “Feel Good” Six
According to top designers, here are six of the happiest paint colors trending right now. Each one brings its own dose of personality and mood-boosting magic:
🎨 Raging Sea (6474) by Sherwin-Williams – A rich, grounding teal that feels both invigorating and serene.
🌞 Sudbury Yellow (51) by Farrow & Ball – A classic buttery yellow that radiates warmth and optimism.
💙 Blue Ground (210) by Farrow & Ball – A soft, sky-blue tone that feels light, fresh, and expansive.
🍏 Golden Delicious (390) by Benjamin Moore – A crisp, bright apple green that’s full of playful energy.
🌿 Green Blue (84) by Farrow & Ball – A clean blend of blue and green that soothes and uplifts.
💚 Arsenic (214) by Farrow & Ball – A bold minty green that brings an unexpected but joyful punch.
Whether you’re looking to freshen up a tired nook or add personality to a room that lacks it, these shades are a great place to start.
