Before we dive further into the trending colors and prints for 2025, let's look back on the design trends of the previous year.
How the Colors of the Year Have Changed Over Time
The past two years have seen a shift in the palette chosen for interior design, reflecting both a response to societal needs and a yearning for new experiences.
In 2023, a vibrant and bold red hue trended. This color symbolized strength, passion, and a zest for life. It was an energizing departure from the more subdued, earthy tones that had dominated the preceding years, embodying confidence and a renewed sense of vitality.
During and after the Covid pandemic, warm, grounded colors like mist and olive turned homes into comforting retreats, nurturing a sense of security and peace.
As we moved into 2024, color tones of peach were featured, a soft, light orange that evokes tranquility and sophistication. This shade, with its tender, peachy undertones, embodies kindness and connection, promoting feelings of warmth and community. Its gentle hue can create open, airy spaces that invite comfort and relaxation, transforming rooms into serene havens.
The Power of Color and Why It Matters
Color Marketing Group conducts international color consortiums to predict the color palettes for the upcoming year, offering valuable insights to designers and manufacturers. This group suggests that color can influence buying decisions by as much as 85%, highlighting the importance of color choices in marketing and design.
KISSmetrics' infographic, "How Do Colors Affect Purchases," support these findings, further underlining the role of color in shaping consumer choices.
Color plays a profound role in how we experience our surroundings, influencing our emotions, energy, and overall sense of well-being. The 'Color of the Year' serves as a reflection of current cultural and social sentiments, offering a glimpse into the collective psyche.
