2025’s Colour Trends: A Property Expert’s Perspective

As a London estate agent with years of experience helping clients create homes that sell or let at their best, we’ve seen firsthand how interior design trends can transform spaces—and influence value. Colour plays a pivotal role in shaping a home’s atmosphere and appeal. So, as we start 2025, we would like to share some key colour trends that are set to make a lasting impression in the coming year.

Here’s our roundup of five standout colour trends that are not only on-trend but also timeless in their appeal.

1. Deep greens and rich browns have been huge in 2024, bringing warmth and drama to interiors. These tones, like Farrow & Ball’s Studio Green or Little Greene’s Ganache, are perfect for creating cozy, inviting spaces. They’re particularly striking in smaller areas like home offices or pantries, where their depth can add unexpected character. Expect these earthy shades to stay firmly on the radar through 2025, especially as we embrace autumn and winter.

2. Red, often seen as a bold choice, has had a revival this year. From accent touches to full-room schemes, this vibrant hue adds sophistication and warmth. For those who prefer a subtler approach, using red sparingly can still elevate a space. As we head into 2025, red is proving itself a versatile option for both modern and classic homes.

3. Soft, muted blues and greens are replacing traditional neutrals, offering a fresh yet understated alternative. Shades like Farrow & Ball’s Cromarty or HGTV Home’s Quietude blend beautifully into living areas and bedrooms, creating a sense of tranquillity. These tones pair seamlessly with natural materials, making them a fantastic choice for those who want a timeless yet contemporary look.

4. Warm whites, beige, and taupe have seen a resurgence, moving away from the cooler greys of past years. These tones create a homely and relaxed feel, ideal for both traditional and modern spaces. South-facing rooms especially benefit from the softer, yellow undertones of warm neutrals, which prevent spaces from feeling stark or clinical. If you’re redecorating in 2025, these shades are worth considering for their universal appeal.

5. The concept of color drenching—using one shade across walls, ceilings, and even woodwork—has captured the imagination of designers and homeowners alike. This approach creates a cohesive, polished look, whether you’re working with bold, dramatic hues or softer mid-tones. It's a trend I expect to see much more of in 2025, as it brings depth and harmony to any room.

As experts who understand the balance between personal style and market appeal, we are confident these trends will resonate with both homeowners and buyers. Whether you’re decorating for your own enjoyment or preparing to sell, these colours offer a perfect mix of modernity and timelessness.
