Discover the Top 5 Trending Living Room Colours for 2025 from Award-Winning Designer Kerrie Griffin

by Kerrie Griffin
You know me well if you have seen any of my work featured in Interior magazines, my pallet is calm and restful but with more time spent at home working I am creating more bold moves. Some rooms need to double as an office in the day and a living room in the evening so it's important to get it right.
Rich colours: Deep blues, vibrant greens, and luxurious yellows can create truly immersive environments. For example, consider this stunning clean mid-green by Farrow and Ball:  No. 310 Beverly You can opt for a colour-drenched effect, where every surface—walls, ceiling, woodwork, and doors—is painted the same shade. I am all for colour drenching in the right room, in the right location, but team this green up with  No. 201 Shaded white and you are on another level of  chic!. If after reading my blog you don't want to embark on the journey alone opt for my Interior Design service.

Blue is a classic colour best know for its use in living rooms for the same reason it's such a popular choice for bedroom makeovers. Its calming vibes will instantly transform your space into somewhere you can relax. Lighter hues can have a purifying effect in smaller spaces, while green-blue tones will bring vibrancy to your living room.

. Light Blues:  Light blues work well in smaller rooms or spaces that need to feel open and airy. They reflect natural light beautifully and can be paired with whites and soft greys for a refreshing look.

  • Dark Blues: For those seeking a more dramatic and opulent ambiance, dark blues are an excellent choice. They add depth and sophistication to any room and are perfect for creating cozy, intimate spaces. Pair dark blues with metallic accents or rich wood tones for an elegant finish.

  • Accent Pieces: Incorporate blue in your decor through accent pieces such as cushions, rugs, or artwork. This allows you to introduce the colour without overwhelming the space, providing flexibility and ease of updates as trends change.

  • Earthy Neutrals

    Earthy neutrals are my first choice in many rooms, unless it is a large space filled with an abundance of natural light. These warm and cozy colors can evoke a sense of comfort and tranquility, making them perfect for spaces that aim to feel inviting and serene. Here are some suggestions to consider:

    1. Cotswold Paint by NEPTUNE: Inspired by the honey colour of Cotswold stone, this shade brings warmth and a touch of elegance to any room.

    2. Clay by Little Greene: A soft, muted tone that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary settings, adding a gentle warmth to the space.

    3. Hessian by Dulux: A classic neutral that offers a subtle hint of beige, perfect for creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

    4. French Linen by Annie Sloan: A warm taupe that provides a sophisticated yet comforting backdrop, suitable for any room.

    Incorporating these earthy neutrals into your design can effortlessly transform a room into a haven of calm and relaxation, further enhanced by complementary textures and furnishings.

  • Fresh Looks with Grey and White

    • Sophisticated Greys: Grey can be a perfect neutral that adds depth and sophistication to any room. It pairs well with white to create a fresh and airy atmosphere. Consider using No. 275 Cornforth White by Farrow and Ball for a soft, understated look.

    • Classic White: White is timeless and versatile, offering a clean backdrop that enhances other design elements. All White by Farrow and Ball is an excellent choice for achieving a crisp, fresh look.

    • Complementary Combinations: When using grey and white together, it's important to balance the tones to avoid a sterile feel. Layer different textures and materials, such as soft wool throws or natural wood accents, to add warmth and interest.

  • Playful Pink-Peach Hues: A Fun Color Choice for 2025

As we look forward to the next year, pink hues are becoming a sought-after choice for interior spaces.

      2. Dusty Rose: A deeper, more mature pink that adds a touch of elegance and drama to any room. "Sulking Room Pink" by Farrow & Ball is a fantastic choice for creating a cozy, enveloping atmosphere, especially in spaces like reading nooks or dining areas.

      3. Coral Pink: For those who want a bit more vibrancy, "Coral Peach" by Benjamin Moore offers a lively yet sophisticated pop of color. It's great for accent walls or smaller areas where you want to inject some energy and playfulness.
