🎉A Fresh Start for the New Year 🎉

New Goals, New Spaces & What’s Happening Around Tampa Bay

A new year always brings a sense of possibility—and January is the perfect time to reset, refresh, and refocus. Whether it’s setting new goals, organizing your home, or planning projects you’ve been putting off, small improvements can make a big impact on how you feel in your space.

At Presto Painting Services, we love January because it’s all about new beginnings. Fresh paint is one of the simplest ways to create a clean slate—brightening interiors, modernizing exteriors, and giving homes and businesses across Tampa Bay a renewed sense of energy.

Why January Is a Great Time to Paint

Start the year organized & refreshed – A newly painted space can instantly feel cleaner, brighter, and more motivating.
Cooler, comfortable weather – Ideal conditions for both interior and exterior projects.
Plan ahead for spring – Getting on the schedule early helps avoid the spring rush.
Boost productivity – Fresh, updated spaces are proven to improve focus and mood, especially in offices and work-from-home areas.

Color Trends to Kick Off the Year

Neutral palettes with warm undertones, soft grays, and earthy accents continue to be popular as homeowners lean toward calm, grounding spaces. January is also a great time to experiment with accent walls, refreshed trim, or modern front-door colors to elevate curb appeal.

🎨 2026 Color Trends from Sherwin-Williams: Livable Color with Lasting Style

As we look ahead to 2026, Sherwin-Williams is setting the tone with colors that feel grounded, timeless, and truly livable. Their latest Colormix® Trend Forecast moves away from short-term fads and leans into hues that bring warmth, calm, and longevity to homes and commercial spaces alike—perfect for anyone planning a refresh in the year ahead.

The 2026 Color Direction: Comfort Meets Character

This year’s trends embrace soft pastels, sun-warmed earth tones, restorative darks, and elevated neutrals. The focus is on colors that feel good to live with every day—whether you’re updating one room or reimagining an entire space.

The Four 2026 Color Families

❄️ Frosted Tints

Light, airy pastels with a soft, milky finish—think gentle blues, greens, and lavenders. These colors add freshness without overpowering a space.

Perfect for: bathrooms, bedrooms, nurseries, ceilings, and calm, light-filled interiors.

☀️ Sunbaked Hues

Warm, earthy tones inspired by clay, desert landscapes, and vintage charm. These colors bring personality and warmth while still feeling grounded.

Perfect for: dining rooms, accent walls, kitchen islands, front doors, and inviting exterior details.

🌙 Restorative Darks

Deep, rich shades like inky blues, charcoal, plum, and near-black tones designed to feel cozy and sophisticated—not heavy.

Perfect for: home offices, libraries, powder baths, cabinetry, trim, and commercial feature areas.

🤍 Foundational Neutrals

The new generation of neutrals—warm whites, balanced taupes, modern grays, and khaki-inspired tones that anchor a space effortlessly.

Perfect for: whole-home interiors, open-concept living areas, rentals, and exteriors where longevity matters.

⭐ 2026 Color of the Year: Universal Khaki SW 6150

Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year for 2026, Universal Khaki, is a warm, tailored neutral that bridges classic and contemporary design. It pairs beautifully with natural wood tones, crisp whites, and bold accent colors—making it a versatile choice for walls, exteriors, or main living spaces.

Crew Spotlight

Crew Spotlight: Meet Gregorio

At Presto Painting Services, our work is only as strong as the people behind it—and this month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Gregorio, a skilled painter whose experience, dedication, and pride in craftsmanship show on every project he touches.

When Gregorio isn’t on the job, he dedicates his free time to what matters most to him: his family. He enjoys going fishing together, exploring new places, and creating memories along the way. That same patience and appreciation for the journey carries over into his work each day.

Gregorio began his career as a painter in 2010 and brings 15 years of hands-on painting experience to the Presto team. When the opportunity to join Presto Painting Services presented itself, he didn’t hesitate—he officially started with us in June of 2024, ready to contribute his skills and experience to our growing company.

What Gregorio enjoys most about being a painter is seeing the before-and-after transformation of each project. Watching a space change through quality preparation, attention to detail, and teamwork is what keeps him motivated. Even more important to him is the end result—satisfied customers who are happy with their newly refreshed space.

Gregorio takes pride in every project and enjoys working alongside the Presto team to deliver results that elevate each home and business we serve. We’re grateful to have him as part of the Presto family and appreciate the experience and heart he brings to every job.
