Paint trends often serve as a reflection of the cultural and emotional mood of the moment, capturing the essence of what’s happening around us.
They give us a glimpse into the feelings, ideas and changes shaping our world at any given time.
With 2025 being a year defined by creativity and individuality, office and home painting takes on an exciting new role.
It’s no longer just about refreshing walls or updating a space; it’s becoming a powerful way to tell your story and express who you are.
What are the home and office paint trends of 2025?
Our team of colour experts, including our Colour Consultant, Anna, has uncovered a palette of trends that are as bold as they are inspiring.
Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or picking up a paintbrush for the first time, these trends invite you to reimagine your space with unparalleled creativity. So, are you ready to embrace the bold and exciting paint trends of 2025? Let’s explore the possibilities!
Trend #1: The rise of DIY creativity is sparking bold experimentation!
This trend celebrates the art of doing more with less, breathing new life into furniture, walls and accents with bold and exciting colours.
“Bold colours are making a comeback in a big way and we’re seeing them first in fashion, then soft furnishings and now walls,” Anna says.
Picture this: deep emerald green cabinets, rich burgundy trim and yellow accent walls. These aren’t just colours; they’re statements of resilience and imagination.
DIY home painting is all about the journey: learning as you go, experimenting and revelling in the process.
“We’re seeing a lot of upcycling,” Anna adds. “People are buying older furniture and painting them in bold colours, making their spaces truly unique and their own.”
Start small and let your confidence grow with every brushstroke. Your space becomes a laboratory of creativity, where each experiment brings you closer to your unique vision.
As you push boundaries, you’ll find new ways to express yourself — and one exciting direction is in the realm of colour, which brings us to the next trend…
2025 Paint Trend #2: Breaking the rules of colour with unexpected combinations.
Why stick to traditional palettes when you can embrace the unexpected?
In 2025, individuality reigns supreme, with unconventional pairings like purples with greens or yellows with burgundy taking centre stage.
This rule-breaking approach adds depth and dynamism to interiors, creating spaces that feel alive and unique.
There’s a nostalgic undercurrent to this trend, with 80s-inspired hues making a refined comeback.
Vibrant yet muted tones strike a balance between playful and sophisticated, making even a small splash of bold colour transformative. So, why not mix and match? The joy lies in creating a space that feels authentically you.
As one room evolves, you’ll find inspiration spilling over to the next. This leads us to…
2025 Paint Trend #3: Warmth whispers elegance.
Amid the boldness, there’s a quiet resurgence of warm, inviting tones like beige, hog bristle and “greige,” a harmonious blend of grey and beige.
These shades bring an understated elegance to spaces, making them feel cosy and modern at once. They pair beautifully with natural light, enhancing the atmosphere of calm and serenity.
For those seeking a soothing backdrop with room for pops of colour in furniture or artwork, these warm tones offer the perfect canvas. They invite relaxation and provide a grounding element that complements more vibrant accents.
Let these hues form the foundation of your place’s evolving narrative, paving the way for…
2025 Paint Trend #4: White-on-white interiors embrace subtle twists!
The minimalist charm of white-on-white remains timeless, but 2025 brings a fresh perspective to this classic aesthetic.
“Subtle colour pops and playful contrasts are emerging, adding personality to monochrome spaces to create rooms within rooms,” Anna explains.
One creative twist is colour blocking — painting adjacent walls or areas in contrasting hues to define zones or create visual interest. For a softer effect, layering whites with muted pastels or neutrals can elevate the space while maintaining its serene simplicity.
These touches create a sense of quiet sophistication while encouraging creativity in unexpected ways.

2025 Paint Trend #5: Artisan finishes are bringing texture to the lead.
Picture your walls as more than just boundaries – they’re canvases waiting to be transformed. In 2025, texture isn’t just a detail, it’s the star of the show. Gone are the days of flat, lifeless paint. We’re stepping into an era where walls breathe with personality.
Imagine running your hand across a wall that feels like a Tuscan villa: soft, weathered finishes (Anna recommends Haymes Paint’s Clouded Rock) that ripple like gentle clouds, rugged textures that echo ancient stone landscapes and rock effects that bring the raw beauty of nature right into your living room. These aren’t just finishes, they’re tactile experiences that invite you to touch, feel and connect with your space.
But wait, you might be thinking, “This sounds incredible, but isn’t this kind of artistry reserved for professional designers?”

2025 Paint Trend #7: Exteriors embrace bold industrial finishes.
The texture trend is bursting through walls and embracing exteriors with bold, industrial-inspired finishes.
Think concrete-inspired surfaces that blend sleek modernity with timeless durability.
Picture your home or office’s exterior: a sophisticated canvas of concrete-like finishes that work magic with traditional and contemporary architectural styles. Pair these textured walls with a vibrant front door or dramatic landscaping and suddenly your space isn’t just a building, it’s a statement.
As you walk up your place, you’ll feel the subtle sophistication that speaks volumes without saying a word.
