Selecting Paint Colors for Your New Home

There are few things you can do to a recently purchased home to make it feel like it’s yours more than putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls. Whether you’re trying to create a space that feels cozy and welcoming or wild and vibrant, we have a wide selection of paints to help make your dream home a reality. Some color schemes that may interest you are:

  • Neutral: Neutral paints, such as beiges, tans, and off-whites, complement various colors. Use these paint colors on walls where you want to promote a relaxed vibe, or use them in living rooms and media rooms with bold-colored furniture for a contrasting approach.
  • Bold: If you’re trying to create a unique look with vibrant shades, consider paint colors like red, blue, green, or yellow. These striking options provide plenty of head-turning appeal in living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.
  • Monochromatic: For a unique look, try complementing shades of the same color. Try coordinating different shades of light and dark blue shades for a fun theme. Or develop a space with multiple hues of white for a subdued look that still has plenty of visual interest.

New Home Furniture Must-Haves

Getting the right furniture for your new home is also a crucial part of setting up your new home. From living rooms to entertainment spaces to kitchens and dining areas, getting furniture and décor that’s both stylish and functional will make your house feel like a home. Some notable furniture must-haves for new homeowners are:

  • Comfortable furniture such as sofas, loveseats, armchairs, or recliners
  • Dining table, accent tables, end tables
  • Lighting such as floor lamps, table lamps, and lighting fixtures
  • Décor that complements your style and color choice, like rugs, wall art, knick-knacks

Hunter Douglas Window Treatments

Window treatments are another great way to provide a beautiful and functional new twist on your home. Many Hunter Douglas window treatments can complement not only your color scheme but also your home décor. Options such as modern blinds and farmhouse shutters pair perfectly with their coordinating interior design schemes.

However, if you want stunning sheer shades that are easy to use, we recommend the Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades and Pirouette® Sheer Shades. From Oct. 1 – Dec. 25, 2023, you can earn up to a $100 rebate when you purchase a select amount of these types of motorized Hunter Douglas shade. These shades will provide exceptional UV protection in your new home, and to get the promotional sale, you will need to purchase these shades with PowerView® Automation.
