As Builders gear up for a massive paint promotion, what better time than now to get the latest on paint technology and colour trends. In this feature we give you the lowdown on the latest colour trends and popular trends for paint products.
Muted Hues And Barely-There Colours
Believe it or not, South Africans love everything cream and taupe, and even the palest hues of pink are still a popular colour for decorating a home,
You can layer these nude hues with organic materials and beautify wood furniture, or add some wicker baskets and a few leather accents - and that's all you need for a home that is on-trend. These colours are elegant and sophisticated and bring a sense of calm and peace into a home when paired with soft upholstered furniture and warm wood accents.
Bring interest into a room decorated with nude hues by adding a variety of different textures. It's so easy to work with a neutral canvas where you can add bold graphics and splashes of vibrant colour.

Grey Is The New White
One of the trendiest colours we have seen these past couple of years, grey is the new white - and is just as timeless. While grey may sound a bit boring and industrial, you can have shades of grey mixed for warm and cool hues, making it perfect for any room and any home. Whatever you pair it with, be it rustic cottage or contemporary chic, grey has a way of making it work no matter what.

Refresh With Chalk Paint
I don't think that anyone expected chalk paint to become such a sensation, but it's probably due to the fact that it is easy to use and has so many different applications. Chalk paint ties in perfectly with the Shabby Chic look, and lets anyone - even someone who has never painted before- transform furniture and accessories.
Craft and painting enthusiasts are creating more and more ways to use chalk paint, from painting tile floors to upcycling old furniture. That's what makes chalk paint so popular - Its versatility has no limits. And chalk paint has the advantage on other paints in that it requires very little prep work beforehand. Simply give a light sanding and apply the chalk paint. Once you are done you can use a variety of techniques to add a unique finishing touch.
