As we approach 2025, it’s essential to stay updated with the latest trends in commercial painting that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property but also contribute to sustainability and longevity. Here are some of the most exciting trends in commercial painting today, with a focus on Indiana’s unique climate and maintenance needs.
New Color Trends
Color plays a pivotal role in setting the tone and atmosphere of a commercial space. As this year comes to a close, we’re seeing a shift towards more vibrant and dynamic color palettes. Bold blues and greens are making a significant impact, offering a sense of calm and productivity. These colors are perfect for office spaces where focus and creativity are paramount. For instance, using Sherwin Williams’ Naval can create a deep, sophisticated ambiance in a conference room, while Benjamin Moore’s Hunter Green can add a refreshing touch of nature to a break room, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation.
Earthy tones like terracotta, olive green, and warm browns are also becoming popular, bringing a touch of nature indoors and creating a welcoming environment. These shades are ideal for reception areas and lounges, where a warm and inviting atmosphere is crucial. Farrow & Ball’s Dead Salmon and Sherwin Williams’ Olive Grove are excellent choices for achieving this look. Also, the trend of using bold colors on a single wall to create a focal point or accent continues to gain popularity. This approach adds character without overwhelming the space. Imagine a striking red accent wall using Benjamin Moore’s Caliente in a modern office lobby, drawing attention and making a bold statement.
Eco-Friendly Paints
Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword; it’s a necessity. Eco-friendly paints are gaining popularity for their low environmental impact and health benefits. Low-VOC and zero-VOC paints release fewer Volatile Organic Compounds, making them safer for both the environment and the people who occupy the space. For example, Sherwin Williams’ Harmony and Benjamin Moore’s Natura are top choices in this category, providing excellent coverage and durability while ensuring indoor air quality remains high.
Paints made from natural ingredients like clay, lime, and milk protein are also becoming more common, offering a sustainable alternative without compromising on quality. Brands like ECOS Paints and BioShield Paints lead the way in this area, providing products that are not only eco-friendly but also deliver a beautiful finish. These paints are perfect for businesses looking to enhance their green credentials and create a healthier environment for their employees and customers.
Importance of Using Durable Paints
Durability is crucial in commercial settings where walls are subject to more wear and tear. This is particularly important in Indiana, where the varying climate can cause significant wear on exterior paint. Choosing paints that resist fading ensures that your commercial space looks fresh and vibrant for longer periods, reducing the need for frequent repaints even through heavy use and frequent cleaning. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways, lobbies, and restrooms. For instance, PPG’s Break-Through! and Sherwin Williams’ Pro Industrial are excellent options that provide a tough, durable finish capable of standing up to the rigors of daily use, and other products like Behr’s Marquee and Benjamin Moore’s Aura are known for their exceptional color retention, making them ideal for spaces that receive a lot of natural light.
Keeping Up on Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to preserving the appearance and integrity of your commercial paint job, especially in Indiana where weather conditions can be harsh. Indiana’s climate can take a toll on exterior paint. Regularly scheduled touch-ups can address minor damages before they become significant issues, maintaining the overall look of your space. For example, a quarterly maintenance schedule can help keep your building’s exterior looking pristine, even in the face of harsh weather conditions.
