This summer’s color trends feel a little different… and honestly, people are responding to that. ☀️🌿

Homeowners are moving away from spaces that feel cold, overly formal, or designed just for photos.

Instead, they want homes that feel:
Calm.
Warm.
Lived in.
Connected to nature.
Comfortable enough to actually enjoy every day.

That’s why Summer 2026 palettes are leaning into softer coastal blues, sun-washed earth tones, warm peaches, and relaxed coral shades that instantly make a space feel brighter and more welcoming.

Some of our favorite shades right now:
🎨 Day Spa (0634)
🎨 Andes Sky (0680)
🎨 Sunstone (CA223)
🎨 Coral Springs (H0075)
🎨 Golden Summer (0305)

The really interesting part is how these colors work together between indoor and outdoor spaces.

A soft blue kitchen connecting naturally to an outdoor patio
Warm peach and coral accents bringing energy without overwhelming a room
Earthy neutrals blending beautifully with landscaping, cedar textures, and natural light

People are designing homes less like separate rooms now…
And more like one connected experience.

And honestly? That shift feels really refreshing.

Your porch is no longer just the place people walk through on the way inside.
It has officially become part of the home’s personality. ☀️🏡

One of the biggest curb appeal trends we’re seeing this summer is homeowners treating porches, patios, and entry spaces like intentional outdoor living areas instead of overlooked transition zones.

And honestly? A refreshed porch floor can completely change how a home feels.

Muted, nature-inspired porch and floor colors are especially trending because they:
✔ Pair beautifully with landscaping and natural wood tones
✔ Help outdoor spaces feel calm, elevated, and welcoming
✔ Hide everyday dirt and wear better than overly bright finishes
✔ Work beautifully with modern, coastal, farmhouse, and Nature-inspired homes

Some of our favorite shades from the Cascadia Expressions palette right now:
🎨 Whiskey Jack EX246
🎨 Hedgehog EX265
🎨 Haze Grey EX220
🎨 Long Beach EX252

These soft neutrals complement everything from cedar accents and stonework to outdoor furniture and summer container gardens.

And beyond style, choosing high-quality porch and floor coatings matters. Summer sun, rain, dirt, foot traffic, and changing weather conditions can all take a toll on outdoor surfaces over time.

Because the best curb appeal upgrades are the ones that look beautiful AND hold up to real life.

Painting Your Home Exterior? Don’t Forget What’s Growing Around It 🌿🏡

This time of year, your landscaping is in full swing…
and your exterior projects are too.

Before you start painting your home, take a few extra steps to protect what’s around it:

🌿 Cover plants carefully
Use breathable drop cloths so you don’t trap heat

💧 Water your landscaping first
Hydrated plants are more resilient

🎯 Control overspray
Be mindful of wind and direction

⏰ Paint at the right time
Cooler parts of the day = less stress on plants

🪟 Mask edges and nearby surfaces
Protect trim, stonework, and garden features

Because a great exterior paint job should elevate your home…
not damage everything around it.

If you’re not sure where to start with color this season… start outside.

Nature has already done the hard work.

The colors we’re naturally drawn to…
Soft greens, warm earth tones, calming blues…
They feel balanced because we experience them every day.

That’s exactly what we’re seeing for Spring and Summer:

🌿 Light, airy neutrals like Lily and Fresh Linen
🌱 Soft greens like Sage, Mint Grasshopper, and Hidden Jade
🌸 Gentle tones like Summer Blush and Cool Sky

These palettes are rooted in biophilic design… bringing the outdoors in to create spaces that feel calm, refreshed, and grounded.

They’re perfect for:
🏡 Living spaces
🏢 Offices
🏥 Wellness-focused environments

And when you layer in a deeper tone like Day Spa as a focal point…
You get contrast that still feels soft, not overwhelming.

If you’re looking for colors that feel effortless and timeless…
Nature already has the answers.

Not all parts of your home age the same.

Some areas take a lot more wear… and it shows faster.

We’re talking about:

🚪 Front doors
Constant use, sun exposure, and handling

🪜 Stairs & steps
Foot traffic, dirt, and moisture buildup

🖐 Railings
Hands, oils, and daily contact

🪟 Trim
Edges that catch sun, rain, and seasonal changes

These are the first places you’ll see:
❌ Fading
❌ Chipping
❌ Wear and breakdown

The fix?
Choosing coatings built for durability in high-use areas.

Because the right product doesn’t just look better…
It holds up longer where it matters most.

Common Question: Can You Paint Over Old Paint? 🎨

Short answer… yes.
But only if the surface is ready.

This is one of the most common DIY questions we hear, and the real answer comes down to prep.

Before you paint over existing paint, check this:

🧼 Clean the surface
Remove dirt, grease, and buildup so the new paint can adhere

🪵 Check for peeling or damage
If paint is flaking or failing, it needs to be scraped and sanded

🪚 Sand for adhesion
A light sanding helps the new coat bond properly

🧱 Prime when needed
Especially for stains, repairs, or major color changes

🚫 When not to paint over it
If the surface is heavily damaged or unstable, full removal may be the better option

Done right, painting over old paint can save time and still deliver long-lasting results.

Done wrong… and you’ll be repainting sooner than expected.
