As periods of restriction and uncertainty continue to shape daily life, the Vintage Homestead collection from HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams looks to the past for a sense of comfortable ease. The palette of 10 heritage-inspired hues satisfies our nostalgia for simpler times and a slower pace. Take a look through the gallery and you’ll see how these timeless shades evoke joy when mixed with new and old design elements.

The boldest shade in the collection, Darkroom has earned the title of HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year. This rich black with eggplant undertones is undoubtedly romantic, moody and elegant all at once.

The purple notes in this black paint means it adds drama to almost any space in a soft, inviting way. In a living room, it elevates the design while maintaining a cozy and relaxed feel. Another plus: Since it’s a neutral, it accents the other shades in the collection effortlessly and can be used indoors and out.

“Like a sunwashed field of wheat or the subtle gleam of burnished brass, this golden hue takes its color cues from Mother Nature,” says Camille Smith, design and decorating managing editor, HGTV.com.

“Warm and inviting, Restrained Gold is the perfect backdrop to an activity-filled common area like a foyer, mudroom or family room,” says Smith. “Color psychologists credit all shades of yellow with sparking creativity, optimism and imagination, making this sunny shade a great choice for home offices and kids' playrooms, too.”

“Wall Street is a soothing shade that fosters a relaxing vibe and adds just the right amount of color to a space, without being overwhelming.” says Lauren Fansler, contributing writer and designer liaison for HGTV.com.
