Modern Impressionism has been a popular art genre for a while, but did you know it influenced this year’s color trends? Sherwin Williams’ palette for 2024 is inspired by Impressionist art. Who knew! Fortunately, these colors are easy to work with in your art collection. Let’s look in closer detail and see how they go together with Impressionism at Seaside Art Gallery.
This dreamy white with peach and yellow undertones is the perfect companion to Impressionist art. It’s a great way to perk up a living room, dining room, or anywhere people will spend a lot of time. Tired of stark “hospital white” walls? Try painting them with this color and hang your favorite Impressionist art on it. Heading Home by Karen Chamblin is a beautiful oil painting that captures the bright, cozy feeling of Crisp Linen.
Nothing says classy Outer Banks decor like a pretty coral color that also resembles the sand. This grown-up take on beachy colors is the ideal year-round decorating tool for the coastal resident. Dun Horse in the Dunes by Jean Cook is a graceful example of how the warm tone is a phenomenal accent. Try pairing it with the other Sherwin Williams colors!
Inspired by the Scottish Highlands, this mossy color is a fun way to get into the bold green trend. Expect the unexpected and embrace Impressionism’s Avant Garde roots with Goldenrod Season in NC Mountains by Janet Groom Pierce. Its fresh take and earthy natural feel provide a liveable way to showcase vibrant greens in your home or office.
This calming color is sure to keep you cool as a cucumber throughout the day. Its positive outlook is just right for small spaces where bolder colors might otherwise be overwhelming. Try starting with Daphne if you feel a little uncertain about working with the other colors in your house. The Magic Hour by Karen Scafers is an excellent complement to Daphne’s reassuring feel. It’s a must-have for a bedroom, office, or study.
Many people think of navy as a dressy alternative to black, but can you do that with Impressionism? Absolutely. In fact, a timeless rich navy can help coordinate an Impressionist painting with otherwise non-Impressionist decor. Night Light by Suzanne Morris is smartly paired with a bright gold frame. The contrast brings out the lights in the dark nighttime painting. It coordinates with nautical wall colors that are popular in Outer Banks homes.
You don’t have to be a millionaire to enjoy dreamy Impressionist decor. Simply add a few thoughtful accents, a fresh coat of Sherwin Williams paint, and gorgeous original art from Seaside Art Gallery! Have you set your sights on a certain piece? Ask about our generous layaway program.
