Designers Say This Is The Most Transitional Paint Color To Complement Any Style Of Decor

While neutrals are possibly the most transitional paint colors that suit any interior design style, perhaps you're looking for something with just slightly more color. If so, a muted green shade might work perfectly in your home. In fact, green is sometimes even considered to be a neutral, and there are many places to use trendy neutral green in your home. But first you need to choose the right shade, and 'Sea Salt' by Sherwin-Williams is a great option.

'Sea Salt' has become one of the most stylish shades of the season that's beloved by designers. Ultimately, it's part of the green family but has a blue undertone that gives it a versatile neutral base and evokes images of calm and serene landscapes. You may have steered away from using blue paint in the past, as it is known to make a room feel cold and unwelcoming, especially in the winter. However, this shouldn't be the case with 'Sea Salt', since it's primarily green. Its muted green properties will create a warm and inviting space. The gray/blue base will also look beautiful in the summer, as the warmth of the natural light will be balanced out perfectly with its cooler undertone. Because it's both a neutral but also has some color, it works well with lots of interior design styles, including modern, traditional, farmhouse, coastal, and scandinavian interiors.

Different ways to use 'Sea Salt'

'Sea Salt' is a highly versatile paint color that will suit most rooms in the house, depending on what kind of look you want to create. Naturally, because of its green and blue undertones, it feels right at home in a bathroom. It's light, airy, and will definitely fit in with a modern nautical bathroom theme without feeling too cheesy. We'd recommend pairing 'Sea Salt' with white to keep the room feeling clean and fresh all year round. Adding an array of houseplants will breathe even more life into the space. 

If you're a fan of color and aren't afraid to go bold with your interiors, you can use 'Sea Salt' as a neutral and pick out key undertones to create a fun and cohesive scheme. For example, in a bedroom, you could paint three of the walls in 'Sea Salt', then use a deep green for the fourth wall behind the bed for a statement feature wall.

Consider adopting one of the newest paint trends of color drenching into your home as well. Paint all of your walls, ceiling, and woodwork in 'Sea Salt' to make a cozy, relaxing interior, and then you can introduce other colors with your choice of furniture and accessories. This is also a great blank canvas to work with, making it easy to switch out seasonal pieces without disrupting the entire room.
