Trending Paint Colors for 2025: What I’m Using in My Home This Year

It’s 2025, and I’m starting the year with a little design refresh. Because what better way to breathe new life into your home than with a fresh coat of paint? These five trending paint colors are already finding their way into my spaces, bringing a mix of depth, warmth, and personality to every corner.

Here’s a look at the colors I’m loving for 2025 and where they’ll be making their debut in my home in the coming months.


1. Sherwin Williams – Carriage Door

Main Bathroom Update: Built-Ins and Trim??

A deep, moody red with just the right touch of warmth, SW Carriage Door is the perfect way to add drama and sophistication without overwhelming the space. I’m thinking about using this stunning shade on the built-ins and trim in our main bathroom (or maybe a dining room cabinet? Bedroom dresser? Who’s to say! Lol). It’s a bold choice, but it would give any room a high-end, custom feel that I can’t wait to see come together.

This breathtaking design by Marie Flanigan Interiors perfectly showcases just how stunning Carriage Red can be.

2. Benjamin Moore – Boothbay Gray

Daughter’s Bedroom Update: Walls

Soft, calming, and just a little bit playful, BM Boothbay Gray is everything I want for my daughter’s bedroom update. This timeless gray-blue strikes the perfect balance between fresh and cozy, making it ideal for a kid’s space that still feels elevated. Paired with warm accents, this shade will give her room a serene yet stylish vibe.

I came across this gorgeous space on Instagram and instantly fell in love with how Boothbay Gray was used here—absolutely obsessed!

3. Sherwin Williams – Muted Mahogany

Primary Bedroom Update: Possibly Doors & Casing

I’m fully embracing rich, saturated tones this year, and SW Muted Mahogany is one of the front runners for our primary bedroom update. I’m toying with the idea of painting the bedroom doors and casing in this gorgeous shade for a bold, cohesive look.

This laundry room reveal by Nadine Stay has me completely smitten with Muted Mahogany by Sherwin Williams. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to find a place for this color in my own home!

4. Benjamin Moore – Flint

Daughter’s Bedroom Update: Toy Storage

Another moody favorite, BM Flint, will be making an appearance in my daughter’s bedroom update. This deep charcoal hue with blue undertones will anchor her toy storage piece, giving the space a moody, yet playful edge. It’s the perfect complement to the softer BM Boothbay Gray on the walls, creating a balance of light and dark tones in the room.

This stunning space from Home Bunch featuring Flint by Benjamin Moore has completely solidified my love for this color!

5. Benjamin Moore – Taos Taupe

Primary Bedroom Update: Walls??

If you’re looking for a neutral with a little extra personality, BM Taos Taupe delivers. I’ll playing with the idea of this warm taupe on the walls of our primary bedroom, where it would set the stage for the deeper, richer accents like SW Muted Mahogany. This shade feels cozy and inviting while still maintaining a timeless elegance that I love.

I was already obsessed with Taos Taupe, but this mudroom by Tiffany Lee Designs has made me love it even more!

Why I Love These Colors

What I love most about these colors is how they each bring something unique to the table. SW Carriage Door and BM Flint add drama and depth, while BM Boothbay Gray and BM Taos Taupe bring a sense of calm but still add warmth. And then there’s SW Muted Mahogany, which adds just the right amount of richness and character to anchor any space.

Together, these colors strike the perfect balance of bold and neutral, creating a home that feels cohesive yet full of personality. These shades feel timeless but still fresh, making them the ideal palette for a home update in 2025.


What Paint Can Do for Your Space

A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to update your home. I’m so excited to see how these shades bring new life to my spaces this year, and I hope they inspire you to try something new in your own home!

Let me know which of these colors is your favorite, or if you’re planning a paint project of your own. I’d love to hear how you’re updating your space in 2025!
