Make room for creativity with October Mist 1495, Benjamin Moore’s Colour of the Year for 2022. October Mist is part of the Colour Trends 2022 palette, a collection that reflects the positivity we want to see and feel in the colours we choose to surround ourselves with.

We know you’ve got your hands full, juggling the demands of working from home while helping your kiddos get the hang of e-learning models. But here’s a fun project the whole family can get behind: painting the kids’ rooms. Consider it part of the real-world curriculum. And because it involves their own rooms, the kids will be genuinely invested in the outcome.

Did you know that dreaming about a door represents new opportunities and change? Hey, I’m no dream expert, but maybe it’s actually your front door trying to tell you “Opportunity is knocking and I’m ready for a change!” A bright, juicy burst of colour can turn your front door into an intriguing focal point.

While you might be hesitant to consider painting your siding, if it’s done right, painting it will give you up to 10 years of stunning results. Most homeowners are motivated to paint their vinyl siding because the colour has become dated.

Your front door is so much more than an entranceway – it’s a chance for your home to make a statement and say, “Hello, world!” What really speaks volumes is a fresh coat of curb appeal. Go bold with the paint colour of your front door and life instantly becomes more interesting.   

You fell in love with a paint chip. Hey, it happens. But as enamoured as you may be with that particular shade of awesome, how appealing will that colour be when it’s painted on a wall, fills an entire room or covers the outside of your house?

Ask a pro how to make almost any paint project quicker and easier, and they’ll tell you to put down the brush and just roll with it.

While our stores are closed to the public as per Health Canada’s guidelines, it’s not only possible but easy to shop for paint from the comfort of your home and without setting foot in our store.
