Here at The Color Bloc, we believe that expressing yourself is important! We love October because with Autumn and Halloween in the air, people change up their style and get to express themselves a little extra. Fall comes with an array of color schemes to use in crafting, costumes and decorating. We want to show you ways to use color as personal expression that last long after this month is over.
In the spirit of the month, use Halloween as inspiration. What kind of costume do you lean towards? Maybe you’re a bit nostalgic for the classics – even a black and white color scheme can say all you need. Design Solution: Be bold in a room that is too white, use black on an accent wall.
Do you like to stay updated on trends? You’re probably the type to make current references in your Halloween costumes, which also makes you the type to modernize your space with our color of the year. Our 2025 COTY is the gorgeous Cinnamon Slate 2113-40, and our 2026 COTY is about to drop on October 16th.
How do you know what colors are for you? Design Solution: Take something you already love and match the colors. You must have a favorite blanket, bedding set or rug… so create a scheme around it. This photo shows a super simple example of matching walls to a bedspread. Painted headboard shapes are a simple way to get creative and if you don’t feel confident painting curved lines, ask your artist friend or favorite contractor for help.
Maybe you aren’t ready for your wall makeover, but you’re thinking about crafts! We say skip the decaying carved pumpkins and get out the paints; we have you covered on colors! Because we have such a large color selection, you can get really specific on your palette. Our sample size half pints and quarts become perfect jars of your favorite colors to have in your crafting toolbelt. There are a million gourd painting ideas on Pinterest, come try one out at our Color Bloc pumpkin craft event on October 18th! RSVP HERE.
We want to give you permission to celebrate yourself by making your home SCREAM you! Color sets the mood, so choose the mood you want to live in. If you’re a spooky bat girl, your home is allowed to be Goth all year long. Show off your gloom with some soft deep purples. Or brighten your own mood with a sunny palette! Design Solution: Copy decor style from your favorite moody places in Detroit, we’ll help you!
Let yourself get inspired and customize your space. Come in to The Color Bloc and we’ll help put together a color palette just for you.
