Whether you are trying to keep up with the latest transfer move in your favourite sport, or who’s dating who on your favourite reality show, everybody wants to keep up with the latest news and trends.
Why should paint be any different?
While you should never ever only choose colours based on trends, what you like or dislike could be influenced by what’s popping at the moment. Plus, you could find something that you never knew you wanted!
Whatever the case may be, there are a few trends that you should keep an eye on going into 2025, and we’ll be discussing all of them right here and now for you to get those creative juices flowing.
Your Interior: What’s In, In 2025?
Going Back To Our Roots
With the rise of AI, more people have been trying to reconnect with nature, and that extends to designing their spaces with that in mind using earth tones.
Terracotta and clay tones are being used in living rooms and kitchens to bring a cosy, rustic charm, while soft olive and sage greens are becoming popular choices for bedrooms and home offices, promoting relaxation and focus.
And if you want to move away from the uniformity of using stark white? People have started using warm beiges and mushroom greys, for a more unique soft and neutral backdrop, perfect for any decor!
Bold Choices: A Mistake Or An Opportunity?
While recent years saw neutrals being the dominating theme, accent walls may make a comeback in 2025. This means adding that touch of deep midnight blue might be exactly what your study or library needs, especially if you want that 18th-century Victorian aesthetic.
If you want to make your bedroom more intimate and inviting, consider painting it a deep sating purple for something more luxurious, or a mustard yellow if you want that 70’s retro look.
Accent themes can also feature company colours making it ideal for offices or any working space, where you can make a statement while also achieving a seamless finish.
Beauty Or Functionality? Why Choose?
How truly useful is something if all it does is look good?
Being beautiful just isn’t enough to be the best in 2025 and certainly not good enough for you. So, what should you be looking at?
Well, the practical choice is always the right answer, for bathrooms choose a paint that’s anti-bacterial and mould-resistant. This is especially true if you want a clean bathroom or kitchen where moisture could be an issue. If you want to protect high-traffic areas like hallways or the living room from your kids or pets, use scuff-resistant matte finishes.
Everybody has that one pesky room that doesn’t get enough natural sunlight, To fix that just use light-reflecting paints which maximise and enhance whatever natural light comes into the room.
Being more sustainable is on everyone’s mind, meaning the demand for low-VOC and eco-friendly paints has never been higher. These paints also improve indoor air quality, making them a healthier option for everybody.
Exterior Paints: Improve Your Curb Appeal In One Stroke
Industrial-Inspired Finishes
Japan has long since been trending, and guaranteed if you haven’t been there in the last year, someone you know has been. Chances are they or you haven’t stopped raving about the food and beauty and rightfully so.
But instead of chasing the conventional style of a Japanese home, the industrial style of using weathered steel and natural wood accents to create a contemporary, urban aesthetic has been gaining popularity. This style is great for giving your home a vintage aesthetic with a modern twist, especially if you have or plan to have red brick walls.
Beating The Heat (And The Rain)-Inspired Finishes
Given the unpredictable weather in Brisbane, using weather-resistant and UV-protective paints could be an essential trend in 2025.
More people are opting for heat-reflective coatings in lighter shades to keep their homes cooler during those hot 40-degree summer days. These paints not only keep your space looking beautiful for longer but also reduce heat absorption, which can help keep the A/C bill at bay.
Standing Out: The Right Way
If you look outside your window, chances are you’ll see a field of white, off-white and beige homes. Now, it’s true you can build on that and make your home beautiful in a Greek neo-classical way. But, what if you want to stand out on the outside too?
Using darker, moody tones has been gaining traction in order to create a modern and high-end look. Charcoal grey, deep navy, and forest green are being used on both homes and businesses alike including storefronts, office buildings, and hospitality venues. These bold choices add a touch of sophistication while helping make the building stand out.
And what if you don’t want your entire home in that colour but still want to stand out?
Well, those colours can also be used for doors, shutters, and window frames to create a bold yet sophisticated contrast. This design approach adds depth to the home without overpowering the overall aesthetic.
Graffiti? What’s That?
If you live in an area where your walls are being painted on by street artists then don’t worry because in 2025 the use of graffiti-resistant paint has never been more abundant.
These paints allow for easy cleaning and maintenance without damaging the exterior, making sure it looks pristine for years to come.
The Final Coat: Wrapping Up 2025’s Paint Trends
As we move into 2025, one thing is clear, paint is no longer just about colour. It’s about having something that reflects your personality, while still being functional.
Whether you’re embracing earthy tones for a natural retreat, making a bold statement with deep hues, or investing in heat-reflective and graffiti-resistant coatings, the right paint choice can transform your space in more ways than one.
So, whether you’re refreshing your home’s interior, giving your business a bold new look, or ensuring your exterior is built to last against the elements, staying ahead of the latest trends will help you create a space that’s not only stylish but also built for the future.
