1. Sumptuous shades of blue
Blue is known for being a calming color that interior designers frequently come back to, so it’s no surprise that blue nova is Benjamin Moore’s color of the year for 2024. “This particular shade of blue is bold but warm, with undertones of purple that give it a real richness,” says Emily Lambe, deputy editor of Real Homes. “In a smaller home, I suggest adding pops of it in the form of furniture and decor against a white wall, for a striking contrast.”
Emily is the deputy editor here at Real Homes. She specializes in small spaces and is always on top of the latest trends that will work well in rentals and apartments.
The paint company suggests pairing this with terracotta to add vibrancy that feels Mediterranean and inviting. “This will also add an energizing feel to the room,” says Helen Shaw, director of marketing (international) at Benjamin Moore.

2. The sunshine shade
Mood boosting colors like pastel yellows and pinks are a smart way to bring dopamine dressing into your decor. “It’s amazing how colors can affect our mood, but by bringing cheerful shades into your small space, you’ll be able to relax more,” says Emily. “These softer hues will also make a small space appear bigger, as their lightness will help reflect light.”
If you did want to make a striking statement, Shaw suggests going all-out. “Alternatively, you could opt for a vibrant yellow and color drench the space.” She adds that you could then layer this with cobalt blue, which is a darker take on its color of the year nova blue.

3. Pretty in pink
While Barbiecore pink is dying down as a trend, this softer dusky pink shade is showing no signs of going away. “Its versatility means it will flatter any space and works perfectly as a blank canvas,” Shaw tells me. “For a more playful scheme, combine it with an intense mint green, colorful accessories, and bobbin-shaped moldings for a quirky look full of character.”
Emily agrees that this is a pretty color palette. “There’s something very cottagecore about it, with its earthy shades that are still oh-so-dreamy,” she explains. “If you don’t want to paint your walls, you could always pick up some secondhand furniture and paint it with the colors instead.” This is a budget, renter-friendly way of bringing it into your small space.
