As 2025 unfolds, homeowners and business owners are seeking stylish ways to refresh their spaces and stay on trend. A fresh coat of paint is one of the quickest, most affordable ways to completely transform a room — and this year’s painting trends are all about personality, comfort, and bold, meaningful choices.

At Prime 1 Painting, we always stay ahead of the curve when it comes to color and design. Here's what’s hot (and what’s not) for the year ahead:

What's In for 2025

1. Earthy Neutrals: Warm beiges, soft clay tones, rich taupes, and organic greens are making interiors feel grounded and connected to nature.
2. Moody Accent Walls: Deep navy, charcoal, forest green, and burgundy create cozy, dramatic spaces. Pair bold shades with light surrounding walls for a balanced, stylish effect.
3. Soft, Muted Pastels: Dusty lavender, sage green, and soft peach are trending beyond nurseries — perfect for living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms in 2025.
4. Textured Finishes: Flat color is giving way to limewash, color washing, and soft brushstroke effects that add depth, movement, and artistry to walls.
5. Warm Whites: Cool, sterile whites are being replaced by creamy, inviting shades of white and ivory that make spaces feel warmer and more welcoming.

What's Out in 2025

1. Cool Gray Everything: The all-gray look is fading fast, replaced by richer, warmer tones.
2. High-Gloss Finishes: Glossy surfaces are out; satin, matte, and velvet finishes now lead the way for a more natural and elegant aesthetic.
3. Matchy-Matchy Rooms: Uniform color schemes are being replaced with layered colors, mixed textures, and accent features.

What Are Layered Colors?

Layered colors involve using multiple complementary shades, tones, and finishes within the same space to create depth, warmth, and a dynamic visual experience. Rather than sticking with one solid color, you thoughtfully combine colors to build richness and interest.

What Is a Statement Wall?

A statement wall — sometimes called an accent wall — is a single wall painted, wallpapered, or textured differently from the others to create a bold visual focal point. It allows you to introduce personality and flair without overwhelming an entire room.

Common Ways to Create a Statement Wall

• Bold Paint Colors: Deep navy, forest green, or terracotta make stunning accents against neutral walls.
• Mural or Artistic Finishes: Hand-painted designs, textured paint effects, color blocking, and ombré techniques offer unique, custom looks.

Why People Love Statement Walls

• Adds interest and dimension to any space
• Defines spaces without major renovations
• Highlights a room’s best architectural features (like a fireplace, headboard wall, or dining nook)
• Lets you experiment with bold styles in a low-risk way
