Is your living space feeling a little…blah? You’re not alone. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint is all
it takes to breathe new life into a room. But with so many colours and styles to choose from,
where do you even start? Well, Permatex (Pty) Ltd is here to help! Here’s an overview of the
hottest trends for 2024 and some tips to help you spruce up your home.
Embrace the calming power of nature
This year, we’re seeing a major shift towards colours that evoke feelings of tranquility and
connection to the outdoors. Earthy tones like warm terracotta, soothing sage green, and rich
ochre are taking centre stage. These hues create a sense of balance and harmony in any
space, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Bold accents and maximalist flair
Earthy tones convey a sense of serenity, but there’s still room for a touch of personality! In
2024, bright accent colours that add a touch of drama and energy are welcome. Electric blue,
fiery coral and emerald green are just a few examples. Maximalism continues to be a hot trend,
encouraging the use of these bold colours along with patterned fabrics and textured surfaces for
a truly dynamic and expressive space.
Sustainable design
Eco-consciousness is a major focus in all aspects of life, and interior design is no exception.
This year, there’s a growing trend towards sustainable paints made with low VOCs (Volatile
Organic Compounds) and recycled materials. Permatex is proud to offer a wide range of
eco-friendly paints that are kind to both your home and the planet.
Tips to paint like a pro
Now that you’re inspired by the latest trends, and you have a bit of style direction, here are
some essential tips to ensure your painting project is a success:
● Before you even open a can of paint, make sure your walls are clean, dry, and free of
any imperfections. Patch up any holes or cracks and remove any existing flaking paint.
● Primer is not an optional step! It creates a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to,
resulting in a better finish and longer-lasting results.
● Don’t just jump on the trend bandwagon without considering your style. Visit our store to
see some samples and perhaps test them out on your walls in different lighting
conditions to see how the colours truly look in your space.
● Invest in high-quality brushes, rollers, and drop cloths. The right tools will make the
painting process smoother and ensure a professional-looking finish.
