As the days shorten and winter takes hold, it’s easy for interiors to feel a little dull. But what if this season was the perfect time to inject warmth and personality into your home? 

Haymes Paint has been helping Australians revitalise their homes since 1935, blending quality craftsmanship with innovative paint solutions. This winter, learn how accent walls and bold trends like colour drenching, combined with premium paints, can turn your living spaces into a cosy retreat.

Why Winter Interiors Deserve a Refresh

Winter can transform the way we experience our homes. Natural light becomes scarce, and neutral tones that thrive in summer may feel lacklustre in colder months.

Deep, warm colours like burgundy, navy, or forest green, available in the Haymes Paint colour range, can add a sense of intimacy and vibrancy, creating a space where you’ll want to hunker down with a blanket and a good book. With the right colours and techniques, even the gloomiest corners can radiate warmth. 

Trendy Techniques for Transformative Walls

Accent Walls for Instant Impact

Accent walls are a classic way to add visual interest to any room. Whether it’s the wall behind your bed or the focal point of a living room, a single bold colour can anchor the space. Haymes Paint has rich, warm tones, such as Burgundy or Dark Grey Blue, that are perfect for creating these striking features. Explore these and more in our colour range for inspiration.

Colour Drenching: Bold and Cohesive

For those looking to make a statement, colour drenching is the trend of the moment. This technique involves painting walls, ceilings, and trims in the same colour, enveloping the space in a seamless, dramatic effect. Haymes Ultra Premium Eggshell is ideal for this approach, offering a low-lustre finish that beautifully diffuses light while hiding imperfections. Whether you opt for deep greens or soft terracotta, this look is sure to transform your interiors. Speak to a Haymes colour consultant for tailored recommendations.
