Kate Hudson's vibrant living room hue is the next 'it color' – designers explain why this shade will be 2025's biggest trend

Kate Hudson is always providing style inspiration, so it's no surprise that her home is awash with the biggest color trend of 2025: yellow.

The actress and singer's living room is a masterclass in decorating with a bright hue. First, Hudson's home has stark white walls adorned with beautiful solid yellow and red art pieces. The colors of her decorations are then reflected again in her retro-patterned red, pink, yellow, and green sofa. Overall, the look is fun, interesting, and mood-boosting. Though we can't see the whole space in her Instagram post, it's enough of a glimpse to know we want to recreate the look.

'Shades of yellow are increasingly becoming an interior design trend,' says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes & Gardens. She continues, 'Though once thought unfashionable, the use of the sunny color in homes like Kate Hudson's prove that it's on the rise. Yellow is popular because it inspires positive psychological effects and makes any room appear brighter.'

Though all shades of yellow are growing in popularity, butter yellow, the light yellow on the accents on Kate Hudson's sofa, is becoming especially trendy. 'Butter yellow is a versatile and inviting color that can bring a real sense of optimism and coziness to any space,' says Cassandra Leisz, Creative Director at Ruggable. 'It's much softer and muted than bright yellows, making it easier to incorporate into various design styles.'

She continues, 'Celebrities from Rihanna to Hailey Bieber have been sporting this hue lately, helping drive its popularity in fashion. We also saw a lot of butter-yellow tones in the latest season of Bridgerton, so it’s no surprise that this trend is just as popular in interior design.' It's the perfect choice for a yellow living room.

A mix of yellow accessories is the perfect way to bring Kate Hudson's living room trend into your home without making any major accessories. We love this butter-yellow herringbone throw, which is ideal for incorporating texture into your living room. This bright yellow, monochromatic art piece is inspired by the print seen in Kate Hudson's living room. It would look especially striking on a brilliant white wall. Finally, we chose this matte, butter-yellow vase for its contemporary but classic shape.

Considering decorating with yellow in your own home? It's easy to add the brilliant shade to your existing decor. Leisz advises: 'You’ll want to consider the fixed elements in your room, like flooring, countertops, rugs and large furniture pieces. Butter yellow has warm undertones that pair beautifully with wooden floors, but pairing the right shade may take more time and consideration if you’re working with patterned carpets or tiles.'

She continues, 'Butter yellow as an anchor piece can serve as a focal point and a springboard for your color scheme, for example, a rug or piece of artwork. You can then pull out this exact shade in other accessories like lampshades, curtains, and blinds throughout the room for a harmonious look. Leisz concludes: 'The key is to use butter yellow accents strategically to create subtle connections that tie the room together.'

Whether you choose butter yellow or a brighter shade, creating a yellow room in your home is a wonderful, trending, choice. Kate Hudson's eclectic living room perfectly demonstrates why the shade is growing ever more popular.
