As 2025 begins, homeowners and designers are focusing on colours that bring fresh energy to their spaces. From soothing interiors to striking exteriors, this year’s palette emphasizes harmony, warmth, and self-expression. Here’s a glimpse at the top trending hues for interiors and exteriors in 2025 and how All Canadian Renovations can help you to incorporate them into your home.
Where to Start – How to Choose the Right Colours for Your Home
Selecting the perfect colours for your home’s interior or exterior can feel overwhelming, but here are a few tips to help:
- Consider Your Home’s Style: Certain colours work better with specific architectural styles. For instance, earthy tones complement craftsman homes, while bold blacks suit modern designs.
- Test Before You Commit: Always try colour samples on your walls and observe them at different times of the day to see how lighting affects the color.
- Think About Your Environment: For exteriors, consider your neighborhood and natural surroundings to ensure your home blends harmoniously.
- Pair With Purpose: Use complementary colours to highlight architectural details or create contrast.
Interior Colour Trends for 2025
Calming Greens
Green remains a favorite for interior spaces, and in 2025, the trend evolves with shades that blend vibrancy and calm. Hues such as ‘Eucalyptus Mist’ and ‘Sage Serenity’ bring a touch of nature indoors while fostering relaxation, making them perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. Pair these colours with light wood furnishings and natural fabrics to create a peaceful, soothing atmosphere.
Warm Neutrals
Cool grays are being replaced with warm, welcoming neutrals. Shades such as ‘Clay Beige’ and ‘Sandstone Glow’ bring richness and comfort to any space. These colours shine in open-concept areas and kitchens, where they beautifully complement metallic finishes and earth-inspired textures.
Moody Blues
Deep, rich blues such as ‘Midnight Tide’ and ‘Indigo Horizon’ are making waves in 2025. These dramatic shades bring sophistication and intimacy to dining rooms and home offices. Pair them with gold or brass fixtures for a modern look.
Radiant Reds and Terracottas
For those seeking boldness, 2025 highlights vibrant reds and earthy terracottas. Shades like ‘Tuscan Clay’ and ‘Crimson Sunset’ infuse spaces with energy and warmth, making them ideal for accent walls or statement furniture.
Soft Pastels
Pastels are evolving beyond baby pink and powder blue. This year’s standouts include ‘Lavender Whisper’ and ‘Blush Mint,’ which offer a playful yet sophisticated vibe, perfect for nurseries, bathrooms, or even home offices.
More Than Paint!
The names of the colours we’ve mentioned do reference paint colours, but that’s only to give you a starting point for your own inspired renovation plan.
Kitchen countertops come in a wide variety of materials, and in colour shades reflective of the ‘Warm Neutrals’ described above.
Kitchen backsplashes are even more diverse in material, style, and colour. Think Tuscan Clay or Crimson Sunset for a bold, warm addition to your kitchen.
Kitchen cabinets can be customized in any number of natural wood tones to act as support for colourful counters and backsplashes, or can become the focal point of the kitchen.
Bathroom renovations offer tons of customized options by choosing complementary colours and textures for tiles, showers, sinks, and vanities; or creating dynamic contrasts and with vibrant colour choices.
The design team at All Canadian Renovations will help capture the vision for every room in your house, and walk you through all the colours, styles, textures, materials, and options until we arrive at what’s right for you.
