Is cream paint on trend? Well, the truth is it never really went away. The stalwart of the interior design world and the ultimate neutral, cream paint has always found a way into our hearts and homes, and usually features in color trends in some form or other.

However, what we're seeing now is something of a cream paint renaissance. Softly, softly this calm, quiet, and luxurious color is back in favor and being appreciated again in homes of all shapes and sizes.
