Sherwin Williams has selected Upward as their 2024 Color of the Year.

Introducing Upward, a breezy, blissful blue. The Color found when we slow down, take a breath, and allow the mind to clear.

-Sherwin-Williams

This blue has cool gray undertones. We know from the popularity of gray for the past several years that gray is a very versatile color. This will pair well with Warm and Cool color schemes. Let me show you how this color will work in your living or work space. You could bring it in as a bold statement on your walls, the whole floor with a wall-to-wall carpet or more subtle with a stair runner or area rug.

Using Upward on the wall and the carpet inspires a seamless look. When you do this, you can update with your decor but your floors and walls basically act like a blank canvas. As we have styled here, you can use dark woods and bold black and white decor. Or you could even bring in some pops of red or royal blue to liven the space.

Carpet style “Big And Strong” in color Mariner is an updated, classic pattern. This carpet’s pattern comes from not only the light and dark fibers but also the cut yarns and the loop yarns. This creates great depth and dimension on your floor. This has a 3 Diamond warranty which means it is extremely durable. And…this is a waterproof carpet! This carpet is crafted to keep its gorgeous looks for years to come with exceptional resistance against spills, stains, pet accidents, wear and more. 

Hampshire III is a polyester fiber carpet that is what we call a Saxony carpet. A Saxony carpet features longer yarn tufts forming a deep pile. These tufts are loosely twisted at the base, then cut at the top and slightly separated, resulting in an exceptionally soft feel underfoot. The texture and retention warranty on this carpet is 20 years. That means you have nearly a 1/4 of a century to enjoy the softness of this carpet.

Upward is an easy beautiful color for 2024 and we can’t wait to see how you use it in your space to lighten up your vibe.
