Sashay Sands is Sherwin William’s Chosen Paint Color for April 2024. It is a fashionable neutral that definitely has a strong warm, pink undertone. Think Carrie Bradshaw meets Joanna Gaines in a Paris flat to remodel her closet. Now there is a conversation I want to be part of! It might be a bit intimidating to some, or feel “done” to others. We show you how to make it feel fresh again, without being too much pink. Barbie can sit this one out.
Invoking subtle luxury and elegance, this color – Sashay Sand – won’t be denied making a statement this month.
Sashay Sands is perfect for April 2024. Here is why:
The tone elevates the mood and adds a note of luxury to any space. It pairs well with a wide range of colors, making it a great option for both contemporary and traditional styles. The subtle rosy undertones of Sashay Sand can complement the natural warmth and texture of the wood furniture, creating a cozy and harmonious atmosphere.
Sutton Place Design and Build shows how to use the April color from sherwin Williams, sashay spring in the bedroom. The neutral bedding and wood are a perfect way to make the color feel cozy and elegant, spot on for the owners suite.
Sashay, Not Trash-ay
Green décor elements add a refreshing touch to this bedroom design and black accents give a modern flair to a color that could go too feminine quickly.It is a gorgeous color and incredibly welcomed not only because it is officially spring but after all the gray, it’s time to liven the house up. However, after seeing all the dream houses of 2023, we are incredibly ready for some luxury and subtly. Can I get a “Hi, Samantha. Hi Charlotte. Hi, Carolina. ” and skip over Barbie? (Because when I say liven up a house, I do NOT mean with Disco balls or flash trash – don’t get too sassy. The word is Sashay, not Trash-ay. )
Sashay Sand from Sherwin Williams is a gorgeous paint choice for any space . The arched book shelves and blend of neutral and black elements show off how beautiful this color really is.
April 2024 or November 1989? Sashay Sand inspired both for us….
When we originally read the announcement saying what the April color was to be, we internally groaned. We have seen mauve before. Over four decades and we have seen EVERYTHING before. Then, for an hour I walked around saying “my colors are blush and bashful” with a southern accent. (C’mon- I kn0w there was twang in your head when you read those words. You are only lying to yourself if you deny it.)
And then, our design voices kicked in. (Sorry for the Snark, SW!) and we started batting ideas around. Swivel desk chairs and waste can basketball style.
Here are a few of the ways we thought about using the Sashay Sands now (April 2024!)….
…..and moving away from the late eighties. (although that might be on the watch list this weekend!)
How would it look with black windows ? Ohhhh very Manhattan loft. How about as a smooth stucco finish? Yes, with a lot of cream tossed in. Hello, SoCal.
The custom millwork on Fireplace and black windows with neutral wood and black accents are a perfect way to blend timeless textures together with a new pop of color.
Hmmmm.. What if we did it on a fireplace, a front door or on trim work? We have done THAT before. Shut the Front Door though because that turned out really pretty.
The front door and trim is so pretty in the color of the month Sashay Sand from Sherwin Williams. We love how the floor and gold accents give a neutral tone to a color that could go very pink if done incorrectly.
Laura Ashely Chintz be damned, We are going Full Monty…
Who knew you had to be Daring to use taupe?
” WHAT IF WE DID AN ENTIRE KITCHEN OUT OF SASHAY SAND???” and I heard everyone take a deep breath…. Or, maybe that was just the squirrels in my head because sometimes they get very tired. exhausted, really. Realistically, though, we knew very few people care if you have a kitchen with pink/taupe cabinets. It is only visible from the inside and then, of course, the chatter from those that have seen that gorgeous. kitchen. They would inspire some wow factor though.
A kitchen design with cabinets in Sashay Sand from Sherwin Williams. The white tile, black and gold selections are gorgeous. I would create the island out of white oak and never ever leave!
But, wait! There is more!
And then, someone said it. I am not sure who because as it often happens at times of great collaborations, you become the idea and everything becomes a mix of emotions and thoughts just blending and blurring….
It is APRIL 2024 and we are FEARLESS!
WHAT IF WE PAINTED THE EXTERIOR OF THE NEW BUILD …….SASHAY SAND???
And the room, and time I think, stood still and quiet.But, really, it would take serious guts to do it right? Guts we have.
So, Take a look at this:
An Exterior painted in Sashay Sand is unexpected and will stand out from the grays and white exteriors on the street! Loving the contrast of the dark windows and box work from the siding. It needs a bit of wood to give a little somthing and it will be perfect!
The exterior of a home painted in Sashay Sand from Sherwin Williams takes vision but is an attention getter. I think the shutters need to go a bit darker, the window should be all cream or all bronze, not monochromatic to home and add in some darker copper/bronze accents.
Now, please note. There are some instances Sashay Sand can go very, Very, VERY wrong. As much as we are singing the praises of the color for April 2024, Here are a few bad choices.
When we say things can go badly with the April 2024 color Sashay Sands, we aren’t kidding.
This color combination of Sashay Sand and o-oran-orange (I can’t even say it out loud let a lot put in writing !) is SO VERY WRONG. Not to mention that bit of mint green photobombing up there in the corner. Please- Make. It. Stop.

A few more colors that are a great way to show off the main attraction, Sashay sand. Sandbank caught my attention – I want a job just naming paint colors. I think that would be heaps of fun.
Hopefully we helped you envision this fun color in your space. Don’t be afraid to commit. It is paint. Start small. a powder room or a door. A shelf or a side table. No one said you have to do the exterior of your home. But, now you know you can. 🙂
Happy Spring!
