Top Trending Paint Colors for 2025 And How To Pull It Through Like A Room Designer

Earthy Greens & Warm Terracotta

There’s something about earthy greens and warm terracotta that just works. These calming, organic tones instantly make your space feel grounded, alive, and connected to the outdoors. It’s like giving your home a breath of fresh air.

Pair earthy greens with natural textures like wood, rattan, and linen to create a look that feels harmonious and effortlessly organic.

Or maybe warm terracotta with soft neutral accents for that sun-kissed, slightly rustic vibe that’s so inviting.

Stick to natural, muted tones to maintain balance when you have these shades in your home. Avoid pairing them with overly bold or neon colors—this can clash with their calming nature and make the space feel chaotic rather than grounded.

living rooms, cozy kitchens, or that little reading nook you’ve been dreaming of.

Use soft neutrals as a base to layer in textures like linen, wood, or natural stone for added depth and character. Do not leave a room with this color completely flat. Make sure to incorporate tactile elements like textured rugs and woven throws.

Moody Blues & Charcoals

There’s just something about moody blues and charcoals [deep, rich hues] that instantly make a room feel calm, sophisticated, and a little bit luxe. They’re perfect for creating bold feature walls or transforming a space into something intimate and relaxing.

Moody blues bring a sense of quiet elegance, like a still evening sky, while charcoals add depth and drama that feels modern but still totally timeless.

Pair these darker tones with warm lighting to keep the space cozy, layer in soft textiles (plush throws or velvet cushions), and sprinkle in metallic accents for just the right touch of luxury. Want contrast? Balance these bold hues with lighter furniture or natural wood to really make everything pop. But, remember that poor lighting can destroy the entire vibe. Ensure that your room has adequate artificial or natural light to prevent the space from feeling too heavy or gloomy. The trick here is, always plan your lighting to complement these rich tones.
