In 2025 we are seeing a shift away from the cooler tones. Designs are steering away from the all-white spaces and leaning into creams and nature inspired hues. Here are some color shifts we are seeing: 

 

  • Bright whites are shifting to warm off-whites and creams.
  • Cool grays are moving into warmer tones like greige and taupe.
  • Pops of color are shifting to earthier neutrals such as browns, botanical greens, rust/terracotta, teals and soft navy.

Besides color, we are seeing a shift to natural materials which adds to the warmth and softens spaces. We are seeing moodier wood tones and more natural textures being incorporated.

 

We happen to love this shift in tones, as the softer tones tend to make spaces feel cozier and more welcoming.
