Painting trends for 2025

  1. Vibrant pastels
  2. Painted celilings
  3. Playfulism
  4. Light and ambience
  5. Earthy natural tones
  6. Heritage and community

1. Vibrant pastels

Pastels are making a bold comeback in 2025. Cheerful aqua, minty greens, and soft pinks add a fresh, playful energy to any space. These brighter tones create a lively and welcoming atmosphere that feels distinctly modern.

2. Painted ceilings

No longer just a blank canvas, ceilings are stealing the show as one of the key painting trends for 2025. Whether you opt for a bold colour or a subtle pastel, a painted ceiling creates a striking visual effect and makes small spaces feel expansive.

3. Playfulism

Playfulism embraces creativity and individuality with hand-painted murals, abstract shapes, and mix-and-match patterns. Perfect for children’s rooms or creative corners, this 2025 painting trend lets your imagination run wild.

4. Light and ambience

Walls set the tone for a room, and 2025 is all about soft, luminous shades. Muted yellows, creamy whites, and gentle blush tones bring calm, while ombre effects and gradients mimic natural light for a sophisticated, dynamic look.

5. Earthy natural tones

Bring the outdoors in with colours inspired by nature. Warm terracottas, muted greens, and soft browns create a grounded and earthy look. Paired with natural materials like wood and stone, these shades offer a timeless connection to the earth.

6. Heritage and community

Celebrate tradition with heritage colours like deep blues, rich burgundies, and classic creams. These shades evoke craftsmanship and cultural depth, creating a cosy, yet stylish, environment with a nostalgic touch.

Our team’s thoughts

We asked the Harris team about their thoughts when it comes to these new 2025 painting trends, here’s what they had to say…

Which painting trend are Harris feeling most inspired by?

At Harris, we’re particularly inspired by the trend of painted ceilings. It’s such a creative way to transform a space and make a bold statement. Ceilings are often overlooked, and this trend aligns beautifully with our mission to help people think beyond traditional painting ideas and explore new possibilities in home design.

Are there specific colours or textures Harris would love to incorporate this year?

We’re loving the versatility of deep, jewel tones like rich burgundy, deep blues, and earthy purples. These colours bring a sense of sophistication and warmth that’s perfect for making a statement in any room.

Which painting trend excites Harris the most this year?

Playfulism is a standout trend for us. The hand-painted murals, abstract shapes, and mix-and-match patterns allow for so much creativity. It’s a fun and imaginative way to transform any room, especially spaces like kids’ bedrooms or creative corners. We can’t wait to see how creative our customers get with this trend in 2025!
