When it comes to giving your home a fresh look, few things are as transformative—and budget-friendly—as a fresh coat of paint. With 2025 just around the corner, homeowners are already looking ahead to new painting trends that can breathe life into their spaces. Whether you’re planning a full remodel, touching up your living room, or just refreshing a single accent wall, the right colors and techniques can make all the difference.
At Lake Drywall & Painting, we’ve seen how a simple color choice can change the entire mood of a space. Let’s dive into the painting trends that are set to dominate homes in 2025 and how you can incorporate them into your home.
Earthy and Warm Tones: Cozy and Timeless
Earthy tones have been gaining traction over the past few years, and they aren’t going anywhere in 2025. Think warm terracotta, clay-inspired reds, soft beige, and sandy neutrals. These shades create an inviting, comfortable space that feels connected to nature.
Best Spaces for Warm Tones
- Living rooms
- Dining rooms
- Bedrooms
One recent project we worked on involved a dining room makeover where we painted the walls in a warm clay tone. Combined with soft lighting and wooden furniture, the space immediately felt cozy and welcoming—a perfect spot for family dinners and late-night chats.
Pro Tip: Pair warm tones with natural textures like wood or stone to create a cohesive look.
Muted Greens and Blues: Calm and Serene
Muted greens and slate blues are perfect for creating a peaceful atmosphere. These shades are ideal for spaces where relaxation is the priority, like bedrooms, bathrooms, or even home offices.
Why Choose Muted Greens and Blues?
- Promote relaxation and calmness
- Pair well with neutral furniture
- Ideal for stress-free spaces
We recently painted a client’s home office in a muted sage green. Not only did it make the space feel calm, but it also reduced eye strain during long work hours. Little details like this make all the difference.
Bold Accent Walls: A Statement Worth Making
While many homeowners love neutral tones, accent walls are still a powerful design trend. Bold colors like deep emerald, navy blue, or even charcoal can add character to an otherwise plain space.
Best Places for Accent Walls
- Behind the bed in a bedroom
- Living room focal point
- Dining room feature wall
Accent walls can also be paired with unique painting techniques, such as geometric patterns or textured finishes, to add even more personality.
Pro Tip: Choose an accent wall that naturally draws the eye—like the one behind your couch or bed.
Textured Finishes: Depth and Interest
Flat, one-dimensional walls are taking a back seat as textured finishes gain popularity. Matte, satin, or eggshell finishes can subtly transform a space without being overwhelming.
Where Textures Shine
- Entryways
- Feature walls
- Hallways
A client once asked us to add a matte finish to their hallway. The result? A sophisticated and modern look that was both subtle and impactful. Texture doesn’t have to be loud to be effective.
Biophilic Design: Bringing the Outdoors In
Biophilic design—incorporating nature-inspired elements into home décor—is a trend that continues to grow. Paint colors inspired by natural elements, like moss green, ocean blue, or sandstone beige, are perfect for creating a harmonious environment.
Best Uses for Biophilic Colors
- Home offices
- Reading nooks
- Bathrooms
These colors work best when paired with natural materials like wooden beams, stone countertops, or plenty of houseplants.
Two-Tone Walls: A Creative Twist
If you can’t decide on one color, why not choose two? Two-tone walls add visual interest and can define spaces beautifully. Typically, one color is used on the top half of the wall and another on the bottom.
Popular Two-Tone Combinations
- Navy and white
- Sage green and beige
- Charcoal and light gray
This style works particularly well in dining rooms or kids’ rooms, creating a fun yet sophisticated look.
Sustainable Paint Choices: Eco-Friendly and Safe
More homeowners are choosing sustainable paint options, and 2025 is set to see this trend continue. Low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints are healthier for your family and better for the environment.
Why Choose Sustainable Paint?
- Reduced indoor air pollution
- Safer for children and pets
- Environmentally responsible
At Lake Drywall & Painting, we always recommend low-VOC paints, especially in nurseries and family rooms.
Timeless Neutrals: Always in Style
While bold colors are fun, neutrals like soft gray, taupe, and creamy whites remain a staple. They provide a clean backdrop and work well with any style of furniture or décor.
Best Uses for Neutrals
- Open floor plans
- Hallways
- Bedrooms
Neutrals are a safe choice, especially if you’re planning to sell your home in the near future.
Black and Charcoal Accents: Modern and Elegant
Black and charcoal are no longer reserved for modern homes—they’re finding their way into traditional spaces as well. From painted doors to window trims, these dark shades add sophistication and contrast.
Where to Use Black Accents
- Front doors
- Window frames
- Kitchen cabinets
When used sparingly, these colors can completely elevate a space.
Personalized Spaces: Make It Yours
At the end of the day, trends are just suggestions. Your home should reflect you. Whether it’s a bright yellow laundry room or a moody reading nook, don’t shy away from colors that make you happy.
Key Takeaway:
Paint is one of the easiest ways to make a space feel uniquely yours.
