This year, we’ve reached a whole new level of obsession with outer space. For starters, Mars will be at its brightest from July 27 to July 30 when it comes closest to Earth — looking the best it ever has in 15 years. Also on July 27, the blood moon will make a very special appearance. This year, it’ll be the longest lunar eclipse of the century. For space aficionados, this is an incredibly exciting time to step outside, tilt your head back and look up at the night sky. But when all is said and done, what then? To fill the void, here’s a simple solution: bring the outer space indoors. 

HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams embraces our galactic cultural obsession with an otherworldly color collection inspired by the night sky and the great unknown. The Next Journey Color Collection, which is one of HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams’ four 2018 color collections of the year, is comprised of eight warm hues: Divine White, Spiced Cider, Riverway, Comfort Gray, Blue Nile, Notable Hue, Salty Dog and Mink.

“There are few things as mesmerizing as taking in the beauty of the night sky, and with the Next Journey Color Collection from HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams, it’s easier than ever to mix-and-match these otherworldly colors to create an atmosphere that brings outer space inside,” Ashley Banbury, senior color designer at HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams, tells SheKnows.

By no means are you limited to using these colors on your walls either. Seek out brass or rose-gold fixtures or home decor items to sprinkle around your living space. Embrace wood furniture, display blue-hued wall art, and consider adding an accent wall using the Blue Nile color in the Next Journey collection.

“By pairing varying shades of blue, the home effortlessly exudes the same sense of calm and intrigue we feel staring up at the stars,” says Banbury.

HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams’ other color collections include the more playful and brightly hued Individual Mix, Future Thinker, which is inspired by technology, and Thoughtful Living, which will help you create a peaceful retreat within your own home.
