How to Decorate Your Home with 2027 Color Trends
October just may be our favorite time of the year. Not only do Autumn’s cooler breezes bring pumpkin patches and fall festivals, but it’s the time of year when we get to talk about one of our favorite things – Color of the Year selections!
Each year, top paint manufacturers and design companies announce the colors they expect to trend in the upcoming year. 2027 color trends point toward nature - think herbal and mossy greens, sunbaked earth tones, and softened, smoky blues.
The color experts at Sherwin-Williams, the industry-leading paint brand used in our new construction homes in Florida, selected Celery (SW 6421) as their 2027 Color of the Year. Sherwin-Williams also put together its Colormix® Trend Forecast of handpicked hues they expect to trend in 2027 home décor.
Wondering how to use this year’s trending interior paint colors? Join us as we dive into how to incorporate 2027 color trends into your home decor!
Sherwin-Williams 2027 Color of the Year
Celery (SW 6421) is an airy, herbal green that feels soft, organic, and grounded. With subtle yellow undertones, the color exudes clarity and comfort, and is described by Sherwin-Williams as “a quiet reset for the home.”
Light and bright, warm and cheery, this soft tone creates spaces that feel welcoming and thoughtfully lived in, bringing fresh perspectives, elegance, and energy to any space.
As a color, green is a calming shade, evoking tranquility and symbolizing nature, growth, health, renewal, and prosperity. With its yellow undertones, Celery also evokes optimism and creativity, and is described by Sherwin-Williams as a soft, muted green, striking the perfect balance between an airy pastel and a grounded herbal hue, balancing optimism and calm, making it an ultra-versatile choice for today’s homes.
Why Celery Works in Florida Home Decor
Celery works well in a Florida home because its soft green ties your interiors to the palms, live oaks, and lake views that surround so many Florida neighborhoods. Its yellow undertone brings warmth and sunshine inside, creating a welcoming ambiance, especially in open, light-filled spaces such as a gathering room or dining café.
Soft and approachable, Celery works both as a statement color and a warm neutral.
Use with Coordinating Colors and Materials
Celery pairs well with colors that enhance its soft, organic character – think soft neutrals, expressive jewel tones, and grounded, earthy hues. To kick off your home décor inspo, Sherwin-Williams put together the Curated Harmony palette, a collection of nine hues that perfectly pair with Celery.
- White Flour (SW 7102), a warm, creamy white.
- Woven Wicker (SW 9104), a warm, golden tan neutral that keeps Celery grounded.
- Cocoon (SW 6173), an earthy brown with yellow undertones that pairs with Celery for a grounded look.
- Artichoke (SW 6179), a deep, natural green with yellow and grey undertones that creates a layered, tonal look alongside Celery.
- Plum Brown (SW 6272), a rich hue combining burgundy-purple with earthy espresso brown, for optimal contrast with Celery.
- Kirsch Red (SW 6313), a deep cherry with cool undertones that looks decadent with nature-inspired neutrals like Celery.
- Georgian Bay (SW 6509), a deep cerulean blue that adds a tranquil, coastal contrast.
- Cosmos (SW 6528), a dreamy, cool blue, perfect for creating a peaceful atmosphere.
- Potentially Purple (SW 6821), a playful violet most often used in a child’s room.
For materials, Celery looks its best next to warm and light wood tones, natural linen, and brushed brass or aged gold hardware.
Decorating With Celery, Room by Room
A Tranquil Bedroom
In a bedroom, Celery creates a calming and refreshing environment. It shines as an accent or the main color, so you can use it on all four walls, on a tray ceiling, or on an accent wall behind the bed. Pair it with White Flour trim and natural linen bedding for a calm retreat. A few deeper accents in Plum Brown or Artichoke, such as pillows, a bench, or a throw, keep the room from feeling flat.
A Fresh Kitchen and Dining Café
You can use Celery on the walls of your kitchen and dining café, or for painted furniture, shelving, or cabinets. The herbal tone feels at home near natural wood and white surfaces. You can also echo it with small details like linen napkins, ceramic serving pieces, or a bowl of fresh herbs on the island.
A Bathroom with a Spa Feel
Few rooms benefit from Celery’s calming yet vital nature more than a bathroom. Paint the walls, then let crisp white tile and warm wood cabinetry carry the rest of the room. For a lighter touch, Celery towels, bathmats, and a small potted plant deliver the same soothing effect without a paint project.
An Inspiring Home Office
Because this tone is both calming and inspiring, Celery is a mood-boosting choice for a home office. Georgian Bay or Artichoke on built-ins or shelving adds a little depth behind your desk while keeping the space restful and focused.
Nature-Inspired Outdoor Living Space
On a covered lanai or porch, outdoor textiles and planters are the easiest way to work in Celery. Look for outdoor cushions, an outdoor rug, or glazed ceramic pots in soft herbal greens. Layer in warm wood, woven textures, and plenty of real greenery to tie your outdoor living space to your interior palette.
Celery Without the Paintbrush
Not ready to commit to paint? Textiles, artwork, and accessories let you incorporate 2027 color trends into your home decor with no paintbrush required. Throw pillows, window treatments, area rugs, and ceramics in soft green give your rooms an instant refresh.
Sherwin-Williams 2027 Colormix® Forecast: Rewild

What Do the 2027 Colors of the Year Have in Common?
The 2027 Colors of the Year share clear trends: nature-inspired greens, deeper earthy warmth, and softened blues. Many brands also used the same language to explain their choices. Words like grounding, authenticity, calm, and intention appear again and again, and several brands built that theme directly into their color names, including Grounded, and Deep Rooted.
Nature-Inspired Greens Lead the Way
Green appears at both ends of the spectrum for 2027. Sherwin-Williams' Celery offers a light, herbal take, while Behr's Grounded delivers a deeper, mossy olive.
Earthy Warmth Grows Richer
Warm earth tones grew deeper and more expressive this year. Dutch Boy's Deep Rooted, Graham & Brown's Rose Earth, C2's Pueblo, and Dunn-Edwards' French Press Coffee all draw from clay, soil, and sunbaked landscapes. Together they offer cozy alternatives to the gray and beige neutrals of years past.
Blue Softens into Smoky Shades
Blue remains a favorite, and the 2027 versions are muted and grayed rather than bright. Glidden and Pittsburgh Paints' Artifact, Valspar's Cottage Door, and Clark+Kensington's Vantage Point all fall into this soft, smoky family. These versatile blues pair easily with white trim, natural wood, and the coastal décor so many Florida homeowners love.
