Better Than a New Box of Crayons! Sherwin-Williams 2011 Color Forecast

By
Home Stager

Sherwin-Williams has their 2011 Color Forecast out and I love all of the colors!

Home Stagers don't just move furniture around and tell Sellers to pack and declutter. If we're lucky, our Sellers will realize how important the color of their walls can be in selling their home. We're often asked to suggest colors that will enhance the architecture of the room and give the house an updated look that will appeal to most Buyers.

Many of us also offer ReDesign and Move-In Services as well, and color always comes up.  I for one am happy to see color back in the mix.  Yes, I still love the pop white trim can give a tan or khaki wall; but take a look at Dutch Cocoa (#SW 6032) or Mountain Road (# SW7743).  Or, what about an accent wall of Peppercorn (#7674)! 

Take a look below!

    Restless Nomad                  Bold Invention

   Gentle Medley                      Purely Refined

You can order color samples from the Sherwin-Williams Color Resource Library  or

check out all of their color at your nearest Sherwin-Williams store.

I''ve seen the lilac in several homes lately and it looks really sharp.

Hi Kathy - Nothing is better than a new box of crayons, but I would have to say this is a close second!  It is great fun (and confusing) to introduce color to a stark white house!

Christine- love the new photo!! Can you believe it?  It's one of my favorite colors.  Check out the colors on the website to see them up close and personal.

Chris- Ah-ha, I bet you were like me just before school started.  Couldn't wait to get a brand new box of crayons!

Color on the walls can be fun and such an inexpensive way to add personality (re-designing) into a room!  GREAT color pallets!!!

Kathy - I like them too.  Makes me want to paint something!!

Cathy-I like that group too because it's a good mix of some bolder colors but also offers some safe neutrals.

Maureen- I'm going to try to order some of the colors today.  I was so busy with the post yesterday I didn't have time.

Debbie- Think of what some of the colors in Restless Nomad would look like against dark hard wood floors!

Kathy - Cathy Lee is so brave - I'm leaning more towards Purely Refined - it has that French, shabby chic feel about it.  Ooooh, new colours are so exciting!

Sally- Purely Refined was my first choice when I saw the palettes but I also like the bold colors of Restless Nomad, probably more for accessories.

Melissa- Glad you liked it and thanks for reblogging!

Anna- I would love to paint some walls!!! Like Maureen, I'm going to order some of the products.

Kathy, I've been a big fan of Sherwin Williams for a couple of years now ( Sea Salt, Rice Grain & Comfort Grey being my favorites) and I definetely go for the Purely Refined colors myself. I think clients will love them and I'm going to check out the site right now. Thanks for sharing!

Luci- sorry I didn't see your comment until today.  I love all of the different colors, and am just happy to see color back instead of our all white walls.

Tori- Thanks for the reblog.  I've traditionally used Benjamin Moore as well but do like the SW colors.
