Breaking Down Breezeway

While 2022 trends aren’t completely devoid of warmer shades, there is a heavy focus on cool, calming colors. Breezeway is a delicate balance between relaxing and rejuvenating. While it is easy on the eyes, it also represents fortitude and new beginnings. If you’ve been searching for a shade that looks serene and invigorating at the same time, Breezeway is your perfect compromise.

Color Palette Pairings

Some of the other colors in Behr’s 2022 palette include off-whites, greys, and terra-cotta-inspired shades. Cool statement colors are offset by warm neutrals, and the entire collection is reminiscent of a misty day at the beach. The beauty of Breezeway is that it can work into almost any existing color palette, so there’s no need to start from scratch.

Earthy and Effortless

Green is a typically earthy shade, but Breezeway has an ethereal edge. The hint of blue in this pastel green gives it a heavenly touch. There’s something almost whimsical about its minty undertones. Paint an accent wall (or an entire room) in Breezeway, as this color is eye-catching without looking overwhelming. Accessorize with indoor greenery and live plants to elevate the organic energy. Stick to white or off-white furniture to keep your space looking modern.

Modern and Timeless

One of the #1 perks of Breezeway is its ability to transcend time. While it’s undoubtedly a modern shade, it can also work with a traditional interior. Good news for vintage lovers! If your home is full of antique finds, you can still incorporate this contemporary color. Hang a piece of abstract art to bridge the gap between the old and the new.

Even though Breezeway is cool, it has a cozy quality because of how soft and light it looks. Create a comfy space that doesn’t look dated with furniture and accessories in a Breezeway tone. While Behr chooses to style Breezeway in predominantly minimalist spaces to add to the modern effect, it can also work in a space is cozy textiles and open shelves that display your prized possessions.

Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that Breezeway and bedrooms are a match made in décor heaven. Experiment with calming aqua bedroom ideas. While using blue in a bedroom is by no means revolutionary, this green twist on the blue bedroom trend is the perfect upgrade. Paint the wall behind your bed in Breezeway, and accessorize with both warm and cool metallic details. Using mixed metals will create a welcoming balance without having to add more color.
