Designer advice: 2025 colour predictions
With a new year ahead of us, we asked our designers to share the colours they think will be trending in 2025.
Deep earthy tones
Why they’re trending: The demand for warm, grounding colours continues to rise as homeowners seek comfort and connection to nature in their interiors. Shades like suede brown and terracotta bring an inviting, cocooning feel - perfect for creating a spa-like sanctuary.
How to use them: Introduce earthy tones through textured plaster walls, terracotta tiles, or wooden vanity units with warm undertones. Pair them with soft ambient lighting and natural stone for a rich, organic aesthetic.
Emerald green
Why it’s trending: Inspired by biophilic design, deep greens evoke a sense of calm and luxury while bringing a natural vibrancy to the space. They offer a bold yet timeless alternative to traditional neutrals.
How to use it: Use emerald green in cabinetry, accent walls, or statement tiles to add depth and drama. For a balanced look, contrast it with brushed brass fittings, marble surfaces and warm lighting to enhance the opulent feel.
Lastly, we have Senior Designer Richard Fox, from Ripples Solihull
Warm white and cashmere tones
Why they’re trending: Moving away from stark, cool whites, these softer hues create a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere. They add warmth without overwhelming the space, making them a versatile choice for both modern and classic bathrooms.
How to use them: Layer warm white tones in wall colours, large-format tiles and soft furnishings like towels or bath mats. To prevent a washed-out look, mix in tactile materials such as limestone, travertine, or wood to add depth and character.
