Paint trends to watch for in 2021. Grays may now be considered too gloomy. The once-popular decorating color is being pushed aside in favor of more earthy and warmer neutral tones. The pandemic has influenced home color choices. Experts are saying Benjamin Moore’s Aegean Teal and Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze will be the most used color of the year for 2021.
January 2021 home sales amounted to 6,928 – up by more than 50 per cent compared to January 2020. This strong start to 2021 included sales growth across all major segments including condominium apartments, both in the City of Toronto and surrounding GTA regions.
