12 Beautiful Ways To Use Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Lakehouse Paint Collection In Your Home

Joanna Gaines, co-host of HGTV's "Fixer Upper" with her husband, Chip Gaines, recently renovated a lakehouse near Lake Waco, Texas, to celebrate 10 years of restoring homes on the much-loved TV show. Following the mammoth project, Gaines created a range of paint colors in conjunction with Magnolia and KILZ, which celebrate the natural tones used in and around the lakehouse. As the HGTV star says on her Instagram account, "Between the lake view and the beautiful trees that surrounded this home, I wanted to curate colors that would make for a seamless transition between the indoors and out. What we created in the end is a collection of nature-inspired hues that feel so inviting and grounding."

Featuring shades such as a soft blue-gray called "Tranquil Waters," and a muted olive green named "Remote Trail," the range of colors is aptly named the Magnolia Lakehouse Collection. The seven hues are all reminiscent of nature and can be used to create a greater connection between the outdoors and the interior of your home. With a wide range of finishes including interior paint, exterior paint, trim and cabinetry paint, and even chalk-style paint, the colors can be used on multiple surfaces in and around your abode. Here we explore some of the best ways you can incorporate these stunning new paint colors into your home décor.

Described by paint manufacturer KILZ as hues that "highlight the beauty of lakeside living," it's no surprise that a blue-gray shade is featured in this new range of paints from Joanna Gaines. "Tranquil Waters" has a soft and natural blue hue, reminiscent of summers spent by the beach, making it the perfect choice for a coastal-style bathroom. Update your bathroom cabinets by painting them in this cool shade and install gold or brass hardware for a classic edge. Remember to properly prep your cabinets before painting for a flawless finish.

If your home's exterior needs to be repainted, you could completely reimagine the look of your house and improve its curb appeal. The "Superior" paint from the new Lakehouse Collection by Joanna Gaines is certainly the most striking color in the whole range. It possesses personality without being overtly bold or overwhelming, so you won't upset any neighbors with this choice. The deep blue color will look fresh and clean next to pure white trim, and you can consider creating some contrast with brighter accents, such as yellow plant pots, in the front yard.

The "Cognac" paint is a rich, earthy shade reminiscent of wet clay. It's a distinctly brown color with red undertones that provide a welcoming feeling. Use the paint in your entryway, either on walls or paneling, to envelope guests into a comforting atmosphere. Adding natural accents such as wooden picture frames or a rattan bench will further enhance the link to the outside world that this color creates. Incorporate houseplants into the room to add a sense of life and a burst of fresh color to prevent the paint from feeling flat.

"Remote Trail" is a cross between olive green and a khaki tan shade. It has a fresh appeal and an underlying warmth, making it an easy color to live with, so consider painting your living room walls this color for a sense of calm and comfort. This is an obvious outdoorsy color, so it's perfect if you want to maintain a link between the outside world and the interior of your home. Further enhance this link by incorporating natural fabrics — think jute floor coverings — into the space.

Described as a warm, sun-washed green, this color feels earthy yet fresh, giving it a distinctly modern vibe. Use "Juniper Tree" as wall paint alongside white paneling for a contemporary take on a classic look, and highlight the natural link with houseplants or herbs as decoration. This is a stunning paint choice if you're looking for a neutral color that isn't a standard beige shade. The faded green effect achieved with this paint ensures that it's both interesting and subtle at the same time.

"Blanched" is a fresh take on off-white. A warm, pale beige hue (similar to the color of almonds), this shade can be used as a chic alternative to dated white trim, which can lack style and personality. If you want to move away from standard white trim but don't want to make a bold color choice, off-white or beige works well. Paint trim in "Blanched" next to pure white walls when you want a clean and sleek look, or create contrast with darker wall colors.

"Wooded Acres" is a woody brown shade with green undertones that feels fresh and cool. It could be considered an unusual choice for a bathroom, yet it works to create a sense of comfort in a space where most people want to be able to relax and unwind. Pair the shade with muted green tiles to enhance the link to nature. Joanna Gaines echoes this sentiment when she discusses the new paint range via Instagram, saying, "I love how these nature-forward hues turned out — they feel fresh yet familiar, bold yet comforting."

The rich, warming tones of "Cognac" are almost begging to be used in a masculine study or bedroom. It's a shade you could imagine being used in a 1920s gentleman's club or a vintage library. Paint the walls of your masculine-inspired room in this color from the Magnolia Lakehouse Collection, and pair it with dark wooden furniture and leather seating to amplify the masculine vibe. Black metal accessories such as lighting and hardware will further serve to create a dark and intimate space.

Light blue is hailed as the color you need in your bedroom for a better night's sleep because, in color theory, the shade is associated with relaxation and a sense of calm. "Tranquil Waters" is a truly peaceful and soothing paint color that could help to create a serene atmosphere in a bedroom. Use this color on your bedroom walls to feel surrounded by calming energy, and pair it with neutral tones to maintain a fresh and clean look.

Your front door can form the first impression visitors get of your home, so it's important to choose a welcoming paint shade that also hints at the type of style people can expect when they step inside. "Remote Trail" is a beautiful choice for both modern and traditional homes, because it's a classic neutral shade that will work with most other colors. This understated green shade will also help link your home to its surroundings when used on the front door.

Tired or dated furniture can benefit from a budget-friendly makeover with a lick of paint. Choose the "Superior" blue chalk style paint from the Magnolia Lakehouse Collection if you want to make a bold impact in bland or boring rooms. This can work especially well in spaces that lack a focal point or don't have any contrasting colors. Set a painted blue dining table in the middle of a beige dining room, or paint a bench in your entryway to welcome visitors into the home with a striking splash of color.

Perfect for wood paneling, "Juniper Tree" creates a gorgeous visual link between the outdoors and indoors. The view through your windows is likely to feature similar tones as those on the walls, ensuring a sense of continuity. Adding an array of houseplants to the space further serves to maintain the connection between nature and the interior of the home. Use furnishings in neutral tones like beige and tan to highlight the natural color palette.
