When you step inside a home, the first thing you really notice is the color of the walls. Wall paint has a huge impact on how a space looks and feels. The wrong shade can make a room cold and bleak, while the right one brings warmth and invites comfort. For this reason, many wonder how to find a color that stands the test of time – not just as this year's trend, but also five years from now. Fortunately, some colors always resurface and have become timeless classics that suit many types of interiors.

Next, we will go through the trendiest wall paint shades of 2025 and give tips on which rooms they suit best. At the same time, we will consider why these particular shades remain popular year after year and how to combine them so that the result is harmonious and functional.

Nature-inspired greens – peace and balance

Green is a color that doesn't seem to disappear from the world of interior design. Its strength lies in connecting indoor spaces with nature. When you want to bring a touch of forest calm and greenery into your home, green wall paint is an almost sure choice. Sage green has become especially popular in recent years, but deeper forest green and earthy olive continue their winning streak.

• Popular shades: sage green, olive, forest green

• Suitable for the living room, bedroom, and workspaces

• Stands out especially beautifully together with natural materials

Different shades of green suit the living room well, where a calm yet modern atmosphere is sought. In the bedroom, green creates a peaceful ambiance that helps recover from the day's rush. In the study, it supports concentration and makes the space inspiring. If you don't want the whole room green, an accent wall is an easy way to try the color.

Soft neutral shades – a safe and versatile choice

Neutral shades like beige, sand, and greige have long been favorites among interior designers – and for good reason. Their advantage is versatility: they serve as a backdrop for many interior styles and withstand trends better than bright colors.

• Timeless choices: beige, greige, soft gray

• Works in all home spaces as backgrounds

• Easy to combine with bolder details

Here are some of our customers' all-time favorites: 

• Light and cool beige wall paint Cool Beans
• Sand-toned wall paint Salt of The Earth
• Linen-toned wall paint, Stone in Love
• Natural clay-toned gray wall paint Shush (pictured)
• Stunning light gray Bunnikins

Neutral wall paints give space to other elements in the room, such as furniture, textiles, and art. In the living room, they create coziness, in the bedroom tranquility, and in the kitchen brightness. Many choose neutral precisely because it allows easy changes in decor without the walls limiting the color scheme. In the long run, this makes neutral shades a very sustainable choice.

Deep dark shades – boldness that many fear unnecessarily

Until a few years ago, dark colors were considered a risk, but nowadays they have become favorites of bold decorators. Dark blue, charcoal gray, and even black can create a luxurious and deep atmosphere in a space that feels timeless and valuable.

• Popular shades: charcoal gray, midnight blue, black, burgundy

• Best in living rooms and bedrooms

• Suitable to combine with metallic details

Dark classics for bold decorators: 

• Black Forest, our darkest green
• Blackjack., black wall paint
• Gentlemens Club, blue-gray wall paint
• Moleskin, cocoa brown wall paint
• Liqurice, dark brown
• Earthy, terracotta wall paint
• Steel Teal, petrol-colored wall paint (in the picture)

Dark wall paints work especially well in spaces with plenty of natural light. In the bedroom, a dark shade creates a cozy atmosphere that is easy to relax in. If the idea of painting the entire room dark feels too radical, one wall is enough to give the impression. Dark shades are also a great backdrop for art and beautifully highlight, for example, golden or brass details.

Light pastels – freshness for everyday life

Pastels are no longer just colors for children's rooms. In recent years, light and soft shades have found their place in modern living rooms and kitchens as well. Pastels bring lightness and brightness to the home without the result being too overpowering.

• Popular shades: powder pink, light blue, lavender, mint

• Suitable for small spaces where brightness is needed

• Easy to combine with white and light wooden furniture

The strength of pastels is that they give the space a fresh look without stealing all the attention. For example, mint green on a kitchen wall can bring a fresh touch to an otherwise neutral space. Pastel shades can also be used as accents – one wall or a cabinet is enough to create a completely new atmosphere.

Spicy and warm shades – cozy atmosphere

Terracotta, ochre, and burnt orange evoke warm Mediterranean evenings and sunsets. They are colors that instantly make a home cozier and more inviting.

• Popular shades: terracotta, ochre, burnt orange, warm brown

• Suitable for dining areas and living rooms

• Work well together with plants and natural fibers

Spicy shades are especially good when you want to create a warm space where you can stay for a long time. In the dining area, they invite spending time together, and in the living room, they make the atmosphere relaxing. Green houseplants and natural materials like wood, linen, and wool complement these shades well.

Timeless shades of white – a classic that never fades

White is a basic shade in many homes, but few remember that there are numerous different nuances of white. Choosing the right shade is important, as lighting can completely change its appearance.

• Options: pure white, creamy white, cool bluish white

• Especially suitable for small spaces and rooms where brightness is needed

• Gives space to other interior colors

Pure white works well in modern interiors, but creamy white adds softness to more traditional homes. Cool white is especially suitable for spaces facing north, where natural light is often cooler. White is a safe choice when you want the walls to remain a timeless backdrop as the decor changes.

Trend or timelessness?

The trend shades for wall paints in 2025 show that trendiness and timelessness do not exclude each other. Nature-inspired greens, neutrals, bold darks, fresh pastels, warm spicy tones, and various shades of white form a palette that keeps your home stylish year after year.

When choosing wall paint, consider not only the current trend but also the kind of atmosphere you want in your home in the long term. The best color is always the one that feels like your own and makes your home cozy!
