Top 5 Paint Trends for 2025

Stay ahead of the curve with these trending color palettes and finishes for the coming year.

Introduction

Interior design moves fast. A few years ago, everything was “Millennial Gray.” Then came the all-white farmhouse look.

As we head into 2025, the pendulum is swinging back toward warmth, personality, and nature. Homeowners are tired of living in sterile boxes. They want their homes to feel like sanctuaries.

Here are the top 5 trends we are seeing on our job sites.

1. The Return of Brown (Yes, Really)

Move over, gray. Brown is back. But we aren’t talking about the drab 70s shag carpet brown. We are seeing rich, chocolatey tones and soft, sandy beiges.

Why: It feels grounded and organic.
Where to use it: A cozy study, a bedroom, or as a velvet-textured accent wall.
Try: Urbane Bronze SW 7048 or Foothills SW 7514

2. Moody Darks

Dark paint is no longer scary; it’s sophisticated. Deep forest greens, navy blues, and even charcoal blacks are being used to “drench” entire rooms—walls, trim, and ceiling all in one color.

The Effect: It blurs the edges of the room, actually making small spaces feel larger and more infinite.
Try: Naval SW 6244 or Tricorn Black SW 6258

3. Warm Whites

Stark, hospital-white is out. Creamy, buttery whites are in.

The Vibe: It feels lived-in and soft, rather than cold and clinical. It pairs perfectly with natural wood and stone.
Try: Alabaster SW 7008 or Shoji White SW 7042

4. Textured Walls

Paint isn’t just about color anymore; it’s about touch. We are seeing a huge rise in Limewash and Roman Clay finishes.

The Look: These finishes add depth and movement to the wall, creating an old-world, plaster look that changes as the light hits it.

5. Biophilic Greens

The connection to nature is stronger than ever. Soft sage greens and olive tones are becoming the new “neutral.” They act as a backdrop for houseplants and natural light, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors.

Try: Evergreen Fog SW 9130 or Rosemary SW 6187

Trends are fun to watch, but your home should reflect you. Whether you want to go bold with a moody office or keep it light with warm whites, we can help you achieve the look.
