Sherwin Williams announces its color of the year - Celery????!???!

We recommend Sherwin-Williams paint all the time. But this one? We’re not sure we need to bring it home.

Green has been having a serious moment in interior design, and it’s easy to understand why. The right green can feel fresh, warm and timeless. But if Celery is supposed to be the next big thing, this may be one trend worth sitting out.

Because there’s a difference between a color trend and a color most people actually want to live with.

If you're thinking about painting your home, especially before putting it on the market, choosing a color with a little more staying power can be a smart move. When you're preparing a home for sale, paint can be one of those simple updates that helps a home feel fresh without taking on a major renovation.

Here are four Sherwin-Williams colors worth considering instead:

1. Snowbound

A soft, versatile white that works beautifully in a variety of spaces. It keeps things light without feeling too stark.

2. Warm Stone

For those who want something with more depth, this warm neutral adds character without taking over the room.

3. Oyster White

A classic, gentle neutral that gives a room warmth while still keeping it feeling bright and clean.

4. Sawdust

For something a little earthier, Sawdust brings warmth and personality without committing your walls to a very specific trend.

The point isn't that you should never use a bold color. If celery green is your favorite, paint the room! Your home should make you happy.

But if you're renovating with resale in mind, timeless usually beats trendy.

That can be especially helpful when thinking about home value and what today's buyers may respond to. There’s no need to chase every interior design trend to make a home feel updated.

And while Celery may not be for everyone, Sherwin-Williams remains a popular choice for quality interior paint. Sometimes the brand isn't the problem. It’s simply about finding a color everyone can agree to live with.

At Better Way Realty Group, we believe your home should reflect you while also making smart sense when it comes time to sell. If you're wondering which updates are worth making before putting your home on the market in North Texas, message us. We’re happy to help you find your way home.
