23 Sep Embracing Warm Colors: The New Trend in Interior Design for 2025
As we move close to 2025, a fascinating shift in color trends is taking place. Homeowners are increasingly gravitating towards warm colors that evoke feelings of comfort and personal connection. This trend represents a departure from the cooler tones that have dominated interior design in recent years, offering a fresh perspective on how we can create our living spaces.
Sherwin-Williams‘s Director of Color Marketing, Sue Wadden, highlights this movement, stating that consumers are leaning towards “timeless colors, such as antiquarian browns and earthy yellows, that feel more personal and nurturing rather than predetermined color palettes.” She emphasizes the importance of personalization in our interiors, noting, “We’re all about creating spaces that are ours, and personalization may become the new ritual. The new self-care is that we really want to take care of our interiors like we’re taking care of ourselves and bring in meaningful things.”
This shift towards warmth signifies a deeper desire to transform our homes into personal sanctuaries. In the past, the concept of creating a sanctuary often relied on nature-inspired leafy greens and watery blues. However, we are now witnessing a subtle but impactful transition to warmer hues. From caramel browns to honeyed neutrals, these colors offer a different form of comfort that resonates deeply with our emotional needs.
Ruth Mottershead, the creative director of Little Greene, reinforces this sentiment by stating, “There is a greater need to surround ourselves with comforting, soothing colors that are not only easy to live with but provide warmth and serenity within our living environments.” This trend for warmer tones can seamlessly integrate into both contemporary and traditional homes, as well as bold or softer, pared-back design schemes.
