Here at The Colour Library we have put together a list of the top colours that will be on everyone’s lips in 2025. As the trend for leaning away from whites and cool greys continues in earnest, the movement towards rich browns, pinks and purple is set to continue. Cue the addition of punchy reds and dusty blues to add balance throughout, creating a cosy and nostalgic colour palette for any home.

 

Brown

It’s well known that interiors trends follow fashion and with brown dominating our wardrobes for the past two years, it’s no surprise to see that this colour can enhance our homes too. Opt for browns with undertones of red or pink to help create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Heres a look at some of our favourite shades:

Pink

Warming pinks with undertones of brown and yellow are having a real moment. Far removed from the Barbie pinks of 2023, these shades are perfect for creating a comforting feeling and lend themselves well to colour drenching. Blur the boundary lines by painting walls, doors, architraves, radiators and skirting for a truly cocooning feeling, perfect for cosy living rooms and bedrooms.

Purple

Select heathery shades of purple with blue or brown undertones for the ultimate in elegance and glamour. A colour that makes a real statement, use in smaller rooms such as a downstairs bathroom or as an accent wall in a living or dining room. Pair with pink accessories to add warmth or deep blues to create a bold and contemporary feel.

Red

A big buzz word in both fashion and interiors, red is here to stay. As we are becoming more comfortable using it in our homes, it is set to make a big impact this year as both a kitchen cabinet colour and also as a timeless and impactful hue to be used in bright daytime spaces such as lounges and home offices. Pair bold reds with complementary colours such as orange, wood tones and pinks for a modern and cohesive feel or pair with dusty blues for maximum impact.

Blue

Blue, but not just any blue...dusty, dusky grey based blue tones are back with a bang this year. Often dismissed as feeling cold, these blues hues create a gentle warmth and softness, particularly when used in yellow light (South facing light). This works perfectly for bedrooms and living spaces where a sense of calm is desired. It’s also another colour that works best when colour drenched and also when paired with punchy oranges or reds.
