New year calls for new beginnings. Some of you might be diving into home renovations, trying to figure out which colours will go well with your existing furniture or kitchen countertops.
While experts advise against choosing paint colours solely based on trends (since they can shift over time), it’s still useful to know what’s in vogue to harness the power of colour.
On December 6th, Pantone announced the 2025 Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse. But there are a few other shades that are set to make waves in 2025.
If you’re planning to give your interior a new look with a fresh coat of paint, let these trending colours inspire you to revamp your home for the upcoming year.
1. Mocha Mousse
The Colour Institute has revealed the 2025 Colour of the Year: Pantone 12-1230 Mocha Mousse. A colour that embodies comfort and warmth, reminiscent of everyone’s beloved beverages like coffee and hot chocolate.
Mocha Mousse is not only grounding and dignified but also celebrated for its versatility, seamlessly blending with various colors across different industries.
Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute, described it as “a versatile shade infused with inherent sophistication and earthy refinement […] it creates a strong chromatic foundation for both minimalist and richly decorated.”
2. Burgundy
In 2025, get ready to spot burgundy all over the place, particularly in bigger areas like kitchen cabinets and coffee tables.
Unlike its older sibling, red, burgundy carries a more sophisticated aura and it’s a bit more versatile, making it simple to create a colour scheme around this regal colour.
If you’re planning to whip the colour burgundy into your home interior, try teaming it up with neutral shades like beige or white for the best effect.

3. Baby Blue
Mid blue, or baby blue, is softer than royal blue but more vibrant than pastels, making it a perfect blend that feels refreshing yet cosy.
In Europe, this colour has already made its mark in bathrooms, as it represents tranquility and a meditative vibe.
If you’re thinking about incorporating this colour into your home, it’s a good idea to start small before expanding it into bigger areas like your living room.
Getting the right shade of baby blue can be tricky, and you might end up going a bit darker than intended on your first attempt. So, be sure to test and experiment!
4. Olive Green
Olive green is this warm, earthy shade that leans towards a grayish green. While it’s not exactly a new trend—Dakota Johnson has had an olive green kitchen since 2020—it really started gaining popularity in mid-2024.
Experts are saying we’ll see even more of it in 2025.
This colour works well in different lighting situations and doesn’t clash with other hues in your home. In the morning light, it feels cosy and inviting, while under cooler artificial lights, it keeps a classy vibe.
Whether you aim for a warm, inviting atmosphere or a sleek, modern aesthetic, olive green seamlessly adapts effortlessly.
5. Dusty Pink
The past year has brought a resurgence of girlhood themes. Styles such as Barbiecore, balletcore, coquette, and all things pink become a focal point on all social media platforms.
And just like burgundy has taken over red, we’re totally into pinks with brown undertones, which is known as Dusty Pink.
When it comes to this colour, we suggest teaming it up with classic shades like grays for a more grounded, earthy vibe. A deep wood brown can also help create a warm, modern look.
For 2025, interior color trends are expected to reflect a blend of boldness, natural influences, and a sense of calm, blending both modern aesthetics with a desire for comfort and connection to nature.
Keep in mind that incorporating natural textures, sustainable materials, and organic-inspired colour schemes will likely play a central role in future design as well.
