Create layers with colors of cushions – Cushions and their interchangeable covers are a wonderful and perhaps one of the easiest ways to incorporate colors that change each year. This is how you can bring in the colours of 2025 into your home:
-
You can mix and match to create contrast and combinations – so, think on the lines of Benjamin Moore’s Cinnamon Slate and Dunn-Edwards’ Caramelized to form a layered look. The combo of cool plum against the warm terracotta will create a dynamic contrast that can liven up any sofa.
-
Introduce a pop of colour and whimsy with Minwax’s Violet – the purple can serve as an accent against more subdued backgrounds, infusing the room with character!
-
If your space has mostly warm hues, then you can balance it out with something like Dutch Boy’s Mapped Blue. This medium blue, with its subtle yellow undertones, adds a refreshing contrast that can calm a vibrant space.
Do remember to add some textures to your soft furnishings too, especially when you are decorating with trending colors – a little cotton with some linen or even some raw silk can change the way a room looks!
Set the table for the perfect meal – Whether it is a quiet family dinner or a lavish brunch with friends, the way you set up your table, speaks volumes. Table cloths and runners are key for creating a cohesive dining experience and at The Yellow Dwelling, you will find plenty of options.
-
For modern statements, use table linens in deep ruby red colors and you can balance it out with neutral or metallic accents.
-
A more subdued color like Cinnamon Slate will offer a rich backdrop, and this will allow you dinnerware and accessories to pop without overwhelming the table setting.
-
When you want to create layers, you can start with something like the Dunn-Edwards’ Caramelized, which is a warm combination of red and brown. To this, you can add layers with smaller accents, like table runners or napkins in Mocha Mousse or Little Greene’s Mochi, both of which are softer shades of brown.
You can of course, change things up based on the seasons – lighter shades like mauves and lavenders for the spring or summer and deeper colors like Caramelized for the colder months. 
Harmonizing interior design color trends effortlessly
Wanting to follow the interior design color trends is one thing, but knowing how to create a sense of harmony is another. Here are some tips for you to consider:
-
Layer with care, starting with a dominant color for larger pieces (like curtains or table cloths) and using others as accents to highlight your space.
-
Each color has its emotional resonance - warm browns and terracotta shades offer coziness and stability, while deep blues and violets evoke calm and creativity. So, let your mood lead your decisions!
-
Trends are a wonderful source of inspiration, but your home should reflect your personality. Adapt these ideas to create a space that’s both current and uniquely yours.
But we do suggest that you do a test run first – before committing to a full room makeover, test your chosen colors in small doses. Removable accessories like throw pillows or window curtains can help you gauge how the colors interact with your lighting and wall tones throughout the day.
The 2025 color palette offers an exciting opportunity to refresh your interiors with a blend of warmth, sophistication, and playful accents. Whether you’re updating curtains, cushion covers, or tablecloths, the key is to balance these vibrant colors with your existing wall hues. And no matter which of these you are looking for, you can find them at The Yellow Dwelling!
