Houston interior trends in 2026 are moving away from the cool grays that dominated the last decade and toward warmer, more grounded palettes. Here's what we're spraying most often.

Warm whites are back

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Benjamin Moore White Dove, and SW Greek Villa are the trio we recommend most. They read clean without going icy under Houston's warm natural light.

Deep greens for cabinetry and accents

Sage, olive, and forest greens are showing up on kitchen cabinets and accent walls across Heights, Memorial, and Sugar Land remodels. SW Pewter Green and BM Hunter Green are the colors we spray most often.

Earthy plaster looks

Limewash and Roman clay finishes are everywhere on social — and they actually look good in Houston light because they soften the harsh contrast that flat paint can create.

Black and bronze trim

Black doors and bronze trim are trending in modern transitional builds across Bridgeland and Cross Creek. They're also a great way to update a house without a full wall repaint.
