2025 Design Focus #1: Warm, Moody Colors and Woods

It’s very simple: I am super excited about this trend because these are my absolute favorite colors to design with! Burgundy, dark chocolate brown, mocha, dark teal green, rich copper - so, so beautiful.

Some of the 2025 colors of the year to paint the story for us: Elderton (Graham & Brown), Clove (part of the Sherwin Williams collection), Cinnamon Slate (Benjamin Moore), Rumors (Behr), Caramelized (Dunn Edwards), and Mocha Mousse (Panetone), plus lots of rich purple/wines from other.paint companies.

These colors add richness and coziness to any space they occupy. They create depth and interest, evoke calmness and serenity, and bring a desire to just sit and stay awhile. So in a time when so many of us are resolving to slowwwwww down, this trend fits pretty perfectly.
