2025 Colors of the Year and How to Welcome Them Into Your Home

In 2025, leading paint manufacturers have unveiled their Colors of the Year, each bringing a unique hue to inspire home interiors:

Pantone: Mocha Mousse

A rich, warming brown, Mocha Mousse adds depth and sophistication to spaces, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We love this color for creating warm and cozy spaces and spaces that celebrate the woodsy or desert feel of outdoors.

Benjamin Moore: Cinnamon Slate

This nuanced blend of heathered plum and velvety brown offers a smooth familiarity, enhancing both traditional and contemporary interiors. We love anything with an aplomb feel, especially in the bedroom. For a moody sensual feel we suggest wrapping a room, which includes walls and ceilings in a velvety finish.

HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams: Quietude

A soft sage with a whisper of blue, Quietude brings serenity and understated luxury, ideal for creating calming environments.

Quietude is definitely a go to color for us as it creates a calm and serene space with a side of playful. This versatile color works well on cabinetry, walls and exterior making a sweet statement at the front of the home.

Valspar: Encore

A deep, atmospheric blue, Encore conveys Old World luxury and pairs well with lavender, sage, and gray, adding a touch of elegance. Bold and inviting this color is invigorating and bump up the energy of the room. While it can work well with coastal design, this vibrant color is at home in just about any room.

Dunn-Edwards: Caramelized

This warm terracotta brown, reminiscent of sunbaked clay, serves as a versatile neutral, complementing various styles from vintage to modern. This is a go-to color in our desertscape as it wraps us in the natural landscape, but don't let it fool you. Because of it's nature inspired undertones, it brings a grounded sense of relaxation anywhere in the world.

These colors are being incorporated into home interiors in various ways:

  • Earthy Browns and Warm Neutrals: Shades like Mocha Mousse and Cinnamon Slate are used to create cozy, grounded environments, often paired with natural materials like wood and stone to enhance their warmth.
  • Deep, Moody Tones: Colors such as Purple Basil and Encore add depth and drama to spaces, making them popular choices for accent walls, cabinetry, or even entire rooms to evoke a sense of luxury and intimacy.
  • Soft, Calming Greens: Quietude offers a soothing presence, making it ideal for spaces dedicated to relaxation and rejuvenation, like bedrooms and bathrooms.

The overarching trend for 2025 leans towards rich, comforting hues that foster a sense of well-being and connection to nature within the home.

While we have been incorporating these palettes into our designs for decades, we find now, more than ever, these rich, earthy tones are welcome every single day!

In Good Design,

Renee

Renee was a pleasure to work with and has great vision. We were doing a total rehab of a recently purchased property and she was able to look at a gutted out '50s cottage and turn it into a beautiful mid-century modern home. She understood our budget and timeline and was good about narrowing all our options down to just a few choices. This expedited the process, made it less difficult and more enjoyable. Once the rehab is done, we look forward to working with her again and finish the rest of the rooms.

Renee at Mandeville Canyon Interior Design was simply wonderful to work with. She was able to understand what we were looking for in terms of color, function and design from the moment we first spoke. She's easy to work with, goes above and beyond and delivers an outstanding design.

I highly recommend Renee and Mandeville Canyon Interior Design. I don't think I will attempt to decorate another room in my house without the help of Renee!

Love working with Renee and Mandeville Canyon Interior Design ! I had the opportunity to collaborate on a large scale design project recently and the results were fantastic! Creative, resourceful and one of kind design ideas made this design opportunity with Renee "one of a kind" Have a large or small project? You won't be disappointed!!

Renee not only has an amazingly creative eye, she also directed a massive renovation for us this past year that included the challenges of operating during the pandemic. She put together a team that had an incredible work ethic and brought the project in on-time and on-budget. She's a great listener. When we threw ideas at her, she was never dismissive; quite the contrary, she made them better. Her patience, attention to detail combined with her whacky sense of humor meant we were all able to smile while producing a home that we love. A great talent and a great lady.
