What Farmington Hills Homeowners Are Painting in 2026
As Farmington Hills’ most trusted painting company for over 25 years, we have a unique perspective on what’s trending in our community. Here’s what we’re seeing across the neighborhoods we serve every day.
Exterior Trends in Farmington Hills
Modern Neutrals Are King
The biggest shift we’re seeing is away from the beige-and-tan palettes that dominated Oakland County for decades. Homeowners are choosing warmer grays, greige tones, and sophisticated charcoals that give even 1980s colonials a contemporary feel.
Bold Front Doors
A painted front door is the easiest way to update your home’s look. We’re seeing lots of navy blue, deep red, and even black doors in Farmington Hills this year. It’s a quick project (usually under $300) with huge curb appeal impact.
Two-Tone Exteriors
More homeowners are using a darker color on the upper story or gable ends, with a lighter shade on the main level. This adds depth and visual interest to Michigan’s common colonial and Tudor-style homes.
Interior Trends
Warm Whites
Cool grays are out. Warm whites like Benjamin Moore’s “White Dove” and “Simply White” are the most requested interior colors in Farmington Hills. They make rooms feel bright but cozy.
Accent Walls Are Back
But different from 10 years ago. Today’s accent walls use deep, saturated colors — forest green, midnight blue, or warm terracotta — in offices, primary bedrooms, and dining rooms. One wall, big impact.
Cabinet Refinishing Boom
Kitchen cabinet painting is our fastest-growing service. Farmington Hills homeowners are updating dark oak and cherry cabinets to white, off-white, or soft gray for a fraction of the replacement cost.
What’s Driving These Trends?
Real estate agents tell us that updated paint is one of the top 3 factors in home sale speed and price. In a competitive Oakland County market, fresh, modern paint can add $5,000-$15,000 to your home’s perceived value.
