Trend forecasters agree that consumers are forgoing stark whites, dated grays, and cool neutrals, in favor of layered colors.
2025 is certain to bring both unexpected and traditional shades, including electric brights, ravishing rubies, and new neutrals, that help tell a personal story through interior design.
Designers tell us that consumers are leaning toward timeless colors such as antiquarian browns and earthy yellows, that feel more personal rather than predetermined color palettes. Consumers are all about creating spaces that are ours, and personalization may become the new ritual.
The idea of turning our homes into personal sanctuaries in the past relied on using nature inspired leafy greens and watery blues, but we are seeing a subtle shift away from these to warmer hues, ranging from caramel browns to honeyed neutrals. This trend for warmer hues can be incorporated into both contemporary and traditional homes.
Here are some of the color trends that will be everywhere in 2025.
Browns have turned sweeter since the 1970’s. Designers predict caramels, coffee, and chocolate to reign in 2025.
Midtone blues, have had their moment, but now is the time for deeper, and enchanting shades of blue to shine. Look for captivating cobalt, versatile sapphires, and ultramarine, that pull inspiration from the night sky and deep sea. While you will still see lighter shades carry over, they will contain extremely cool-toned sages and heavy blue undertones.
Red is reaching new heights with both stunning and nostalgic reds in 2025. Watch for classic reds, rich raspberry, and red tomato to steal the scene.
Warmer toasty neutrals will replace the cooler tones of the 2010’s. Watch for caramelized brown exuding soft terra cotta and warm baked clay.
Candy colored accents will be embraced in 2025. These bright tones can feel electric in a room while also serving as a whimsical departure from the grays of the past. Look for juicy pink shades and lilacs as popular color choices.
Choosing colors that fill your home always comes down to personal taste and style – but these hues stand out among the rest and give inspiration for 2025.
