Choosing a paint color can feel overwhelming—but staying in the know about what’s trending can make the process easier and more fun. Whether you're planning a full-room makeover or just looking to refresh a wall or two, these designer-approved paint trends are defining 2025 homes. At Black Cat Interiors, we use color intentionally—whether you're working with us on a full moodboard or an online paint consultation.
Here’s a peek at the shades taking over this year, and how to use them to transform your space.
1. Deep Earthy Greens
From olive and moss to eucalyptus and pine, green is still the reigning champion of color psychology and biophilic design. These hues bring a grounded, organic feel to interiors—perfect for bedrooms, kitchens, or anywhere you want to feel calm and connected to nature.
Designer Tip: Pair green walls with matte black fixtures or warm wood tones to keep it feeling elevated.
Top Picks:
Sherwin-Williams “Dried Thyme”
Benjamin Moore “Essex Green”
Behr “Dark Everglade”
2. Warm Neutrals Over Gray
Move over cool grays—2025 is all about buttery creams, sand tones, and mushroom taupes. These warmer neutrals add softness and depth to a space without feeling too stark or sterile.
Designer Tip: Use warm neutrals in open-plan spaces or entryways to make your home feel instantly welcoming.
Top Picks:
Farrow & Ball “Joa’s White”
Behr “Blank Canvas”
Clare Paint “No Filter”
3. Sunbaked Terracotta & Clay
Terracotta is making a bold comeback, not just in tiles and decor, but on walls too. This rich, desert-inspired tone brings energy and warmth without being loud. It’s perfect for dining rooms, powder rooms, or accent walls.
Pair it with: Bone white trim, natural rattan, and desert florals.
Top Picks:
Dunn-Edwards “Spiced Berry”
Benjamin Moore “Cinnamon”
Sherwin-Williams “Cavern Clay”
4. Dusky Blues & Moody Navy
Blues are getting deeper and moodier in 2025. Think dramatic navy, stormy slate, and denim-inspired hues that work beautifully in modern and traditional spaces alike. They’re especially striking on cabinetry, feature walls, or in a cozy office or den.
Designer Tip: Use flat or matte finishes for a modern edge—avoid high gloss unless on trim.
Top Picks:
Sherwin-Williams “Hale Navy”
Clare Paint “Deep Dive”
Benjamin Moore “Blue Note”
5. Chalky Pastels
Muted blush, dusty lilac, sage mist, and soft peach are popping up in unexpected places: home offices, kids’ rooms, and even kitchens. These colors offer personality while still feeling airy and subtle.
Good for: Accent walls, ceiling paint, or painted furniture.
Top Picks:
Behr “Pink Posies”
Sherwin-Williams “Silver Peony”
Benjamin Moore “Pale Oak”
