Redfin reached out to us and other experts from Tampa, FL, all the way to Toronto, ON, for our advice on choosing the best calming paint colors for your home. From soothing blues and greens to warm browns and beiges, check out what we had to say for the best hues to help you achieve a serene home.

Light blue-greens and soft turquoise are essential for a calm environment. When it comes to furnishings and decor, many find neutral colors easy and comfortable. The challenge is how to add color. Pops of color disturbs an otherwise soothing environment. So, a great way to introduce color is by painting your walls a subtle blue/green or even a slightly bolder turquoise.

Want to keep the walls a classic white?

Paint the ceiling a soft blue/green tone in a satin finish. You’ll find the room instantly relaxing and mentally comforting. These same peaceful hues will complement any wood finish and jewel-toned upholstery, and even stainless steel appliances.

Using these lovely soft blue-greens throughout your home or on your walls will harmonize your space and resound with calm and pleasantries. -Angela Carroll Ast, ABCA Design
