THE 2025 PAINT COLOR FORECAST
Nature-Inspired Neutrals
Think soft clay, warm sand, and muted sage green. These natural tones are calming and versatile—ideal for living rooms, kitchens, or exteriors. Best for: Homeowners who want timeless elegance with a subtle nod to nature.
Earthy Reds and Terracottas
Spicy tones like cinnamon and deep terracotta are making a comeback, adding richness and warmth to feature walls or front doors. Pro tip: Use as an accent to add dimension without overwhelming the room.
Dark, Moody Blues and Forest Greens
In 2025, bold is beautiful. Deep tones like navy, pine, and emerald are being used on cabinets, dining rooms, and exterior trim to create dramatic contrast. Best for: Homeowners looking to add depth and sophistication to their space.
Soft Black and Charcoal
No longer just for modern homes, these dark hues are now being used to ground color schemes and add a luxe finish—inside and out. Perfect for: Entryways, window trim, and kitchen accents.
Warmed-Up Whites and Creams
Pure whites are fading out. This year’s whites have a hint of warmth—think ivory, vanilla, or linen—which pair beautifully with wood and stone textures. Best for: Anyone craving a clean look with a cozy feel.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOR FOR YOUR HOME
With so many beautiful choices, how do you pick the right palette for your space? Here’s our tried-and-true approach:
Consider Lighting
Colors look different depending on sunlight or artificial light. North-facing rooms might need warmer tones, while south-facing spaces can handle cooler shades.
Match Your Home’s Style
Traditional homes often shine in warm neutrals or classic whites, while modern or craftsman-style homes can handle bold contrasts and deeper hues.
Think Long-Term
Trendy doesn’t have to mean short-lived. We recommend blending current trends with timeless bases—like pairing a bold green door with a soft white exterior.
Test Before You Commit!
We always advise testing swatches on your actual walls (and at different times of day) to see how the color plays out in your space.
