We coined the term “quietly colourful” to describe our Colour of the Year Cinnamon Slate along with the supporting Colour Trends 2025 palette. While there is still a strong interest in statement making colour, we feel that the hues most relevant for today’s designs are those with a softened, muted quality. These nuanced hues encourage curiosity with intriguing undertones that bring subtle dimension to our spaces. Designed to harmonize, the 10 hues in the Colour Trend 2025 palette range from pale neutrals to moodier tones across the colour spectrum, providing the potential for all or any combination of the hues to be used throughout a home by way of paint colour, textiles, furnishings and accessories.

There are many ways to incorporate your favourites from the 2025 palette into your home. Each hue is versatile allowing it to work seamlessly with a range of materials and interior surfaces and just as easily complements various design styles. Filling a room with any one colour and balancing it with another in an adjacent space creates a dynamic yet harmonious sightline from room to room. In a smaller capacity try one of the deeper hues as an accent wall, a painted piece of furniture, cabinetry or create a 2-toned wainscot feel with a deep hue grounding a lighter hue from below. For an immersive approach to colour in a room, try “drenching” it completely on the walls, trim and ceiling with the same hue.
From dark to light the 2025 Colour Trend palette provides comforting and easy to live with hues that reflect personality and encourage the opportunity for self expression throughout the home.
Happy Decorating!
