As mentioned in our last post, color has been making a comeback in the kitchen, and we continue to see homeowners making bold color choices when renovating their homes. While white and neutral colors continue to offer homeowners flexibility in their home’s design, more people are gaining confidence in adding color to their homes. What are we going to be seeing more of in color trends for 2019?

Blue
Last year, Zillow’s Paint Color Analysis showed that blue was a hot color; homes with light blue bathrooms were selling $5,440 more than expected, and homes with blue kitchens, bedrooms, dining rooms, or front doors were also selling for almost $2,000 more compared to similar homes with white walls. We expect blue to continue as one of the more popular color trends for 2019; no matter the shade, it is a calming and inviting color for the home.

Black
This year, Zillow’s analysis showed houses with black kitchen cabinets selling for a $1,547 premium, and homes with black front doors were selling at a whopping $6,271 more than average.
