10 Interior Paint Colours Moncton and Area Homeowners Are Going to Love in 2026
Choosing the perfect interior paint colour is one of the fastest ways to refresh your space and boost your home’s value. As trends continue shifting toward warm minimalism, elevated neutrals, and soft organic tones, 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for interior transformations in Moncton and throughout New Brunswick.
Based on our design work across Dieppe, Riverview, Shediac, Memramcook, Moncton and just about everywhere across New Brunswick, here are the top 10 paint colours homeowners will be gravitating toward in 2026.
1. Warm Sandstone Beige
2026 is continuing the shift away from gray and into warm, creamy neutrals. Warm Sandstone Beige pairs beautifully with natural woods, matte black fixtures, and modern coastal décor.
Perfect for: living rooms, open-concept spaces, and updated new builds.
2. Soft Mushroom Taupe
This elevated neutral has become the designer favourite for cabinet painting and high-end interiors. It is subtle, elegant, and works with both warm and cool lighting — ideal for Moncton’s varied daylight seasons.
Perfect for: kitchens, hallways, entryways, and built-ins.
3. Coastal Mist Blue
A relaxing, airy blue inspired by Atlantic coastal tones. Soft blues continue to trend upward as homeowners prioritize calm, wellness-friendly spaces.
Perfect for: bedrooms, nurseries, and spa-inspired bathrooms.
4. Evergreen Shadow
Deep greens remain one of the most requested accent colours. Evergreen Shadow adds richness without feeling too dark, making it perfect for creating a boutique-hotel vibe.
Perfect for: offices, dining rooms, and feature walls.
5. Modern Clay Terracotta
Earthy tones are in for 2026. This muted terracotta warms up any space and gives a stylish, organic feel—especially in homes with lots of plants or natural textures.
Perfect for: sunrooms, reading nooks, and boho-modern spaces.
6. Nordic Cream White
A soft white with warm undertones, ideal for homeowners wanting a clean but cozy look. This shade won’t appear stark or cold, even on winter days when light is limited.
Perfect for: any room and kitchen cabinets
7. Deep Charcoal Slate
Dark, moody tones are now mainstream—but the key is choosing the right one. Deep Charcoal Slate is dramatic yet neutral, making it a sophisticated choice that isn’t too heavy.
Perfect for: media rooms, fireplaces, and modern accent walls.
8. Pale Green Linen
Soft, airy greens will continue to be among the top “new neutrals” in 2026. This colour pairs extremely well with warm woods, white oak flooring, and minimalist décor.
Perfect for: kitchens, bathrooms, and light-filled dining areas.
9. Vintage Blush Rose
A gentle, desaturated rose tone that feels both modern and timeless. It adds personality without overwhelming a space and works well with gold or brushed brass fixtures.
Perfect for: bedrooms, powder rooms, and feature niches.
10. Classic Navy Blue
Navy remains a go-to for homeowners wanting a bold but versatile colour. It pops against crisp trim and instantly elevates cabinetry and built-ins.
Perfect for: kitchen islands, bathroom vanities, and mudroom lockers.
How to Choose the Right Colour for Your Home
Lighting in Moncton homes can vary drastically between seasons—bright long summer days vs. low winter light. This means the perfect colour on a swatch may look completely different once painted.
Here’s what we recommend before committing:
Test paint samples in both natural and artificial light
Look at colours during morning, afternoon, and evening
Pair colours with your existing flooring and cabinetry
Consider the overall mood you want in each room
Colour is one of the most powerful design tools in your home—and getting it right makes every room feel intentional and elevated.
