    2025 Interior Design and Color Trends Report

    By Laura Madrigal, Home Improvement Content Specialist, Fixr.com

    January 29, 2025

    As we approach 2025 and the middle of the 20s, the paint and color trends for the year show the shift toward warmth, depth and comfort that are taking center stage in interior design right now. Like last year, warm neutrals and many shades of blue and green emerge as favorites amongst designers and homeowners alike, with color drenching and rich, bold tones bringing these colors to life.

    Fixr.com's Interior Design and Color Trends report gives a glimpse into these trends and the others that will make up the basis of 2025's interior design palette. 67 interior designers and top experts in the field contributed to a survey designed to help guide homeowners toward creating their ideal home interiors.

    2025 is poised to usher in a new love of color and an integration of nature that is sure to create the types of spaces homeowners want to be in.

    Color Drenching Takes Over Color Trends

    This year's trends show a marked move toward more warmth and color in the home, with color drenching being chosen as the trend most designers agree will lead the way this year. Color drenching fully saturates a room with a single color being used on walls, trims, cabinets and even the ceiling. The result is more depth of color and a bolder look.

    Following behind color drenching is the use of warm neutrals and dark, earthy greens, which captured 49% and 48% of the vote respectively. Both of these color palettes embrace natural tones and help bring a sense of warmth and earthiness to the home. 

    Additionally, 34% of designers also agreed that deep jewel tones and rustic browns, grays and taupes would also prove popular this year. These trends are all in line with the increasing focus seen in color, the connection to nature and the aim to create a space in the home where people truly want to be that have carried through the first half of the decade.

    Best Home Office Paint Color

    Home offices are getting more use than ever before, and with this focus comes a need for fresh wall color. While people may have hesitated to paint their home office at first, it's clear that the home office is here to stay, and this means creating a space that is appealing to the user. Blues and greens ranging from soft and soothing to deep, dark and moody are getting the most attention. Both blues and greens were very popular hues in the last year, making it an obvious choice to continue in the home office, particularly when done in rich, warm and dark colors. 

    Other hues that are getting a lot of attention include neutral and earthy tones, as well as bold colors and browns. With the time spent in the home office, it makes sense that certain colors will carry over into this space, as the same attributes that are driving them to popularity will also make them ideal for the home office as well. 

    Colors for Selling in 2025: Whites and Warm Neutrals

    Anyone selling their home in 2025 will want to opt for soft, warm whites and neutrals like greige and beige in the living areas. Soft, warm whites got the vote from 85% of respondents, while 28% selected greige and 24% selected beige. These colors help create both a warm, inviting setting and a blank canvas for new homeowners to see themselves and their belongings in.

    For the bedroom, 76% of experts say that warm neutrals are the popular choice, while 42% also like soft, warm whites much like living spaces. As a twist, however, 25% of experts also say that earthy green makes a nice choice for bedrooms, as earthy greens are trending overall, and choosing colors like this can make a home feel up to date.

    When it comes to the exterior of the home, off-white siding is the preferred choice of homebuyers according to 45% of experts. A further 36% also say that natural wood is the preferred choice, while 24% like dark gray. These colors are all versatile, and work well on a variety of homes and styles, which helps boost a home's curb appeal.

    Experts warn to avoid the colors lime green, bold pink and red, amongst others, when planning to sell. None of these tones are currently trending, and very bold hues like these can be hard for some potential homebuyers to ignore.
