Color Capping: New Interior Design Trend for 2026

Color capping is a creative and modern technique used in interior design painting to add depth, dimension, and visual interest to walls and ceilings. This method involves applying a different color to the top portion of a wall, often creating a "cap" that distinguishes it from the rest of the wall. It can also extend to painting the ceiling in a complementary or contrasting hue for a bold statement. Color capping is an effective way to highlight architectural elements, define spaces, or introduce a playful touch to a room, making it a versatile choice for both contemporary and classic interiors. By carefully selecting colors that harmonize with your overall design theme, you can use color capping to create a cohesive, stylish, and personalized living space.
