I'm a color editor and out of all the trends I have seen this year Pinterest's 2025 palette is best for bold yet liveable shades

As we near the end of January, we have a pretty good idea of the major color trends set to infiltrate interior spaces this year, and Pinterest has just confirmed that with its palette of trending colors for 2025.

Pinterest – which prides itself on being able to predict the major trends to come, including color trends – revealed its 2025 Pinterest Palette, comprising five need-to-know-about hues based on its in-depth trend reporting and data analysis.

As Homes & Gardens' Paint & Color Editor, I've rounded up each of the trending colors below, sharing my take on how they can be used in interior spaces. While most of the colors are bold, I think there's a liveable quality to them which makes for stylish room color ideas.

Cherry Red

It's no surprise to see 'Cherry Red' included in Pinterest's color palette for 2025. When it comes to decorating with red in the home, this bold hue has acted as a major color trend, not least since the emergence of the unexpected red theory early last year.

While some color trends appear to be short-lived, bold shades of red seem to be going nowhere. Over the past months, I've seen so many designers incorporating this daring hue into interior projects, whether across kitchen cabinets in the heart of the home or through bright red furniture or smaller decor for a hit of color – proving it can be a liveable color.

If you want to make a statement with your color schemes in an on-trend way, look no further than cherry red. This rich, warming shade feels sophisticated and playful, and I am fully on board with it for 2025.

Butter Yellow

Of Pinterest's five color trends for 2025, 'Butter Yellow' is probably my favorite. To me, this mellow and pastel shade of yellow feels vintage-inspired, providing a grown-up way to inject more color into the home without leaning too garish or bold.

As seen here on these kitchen cabinets by deVOL Kitchens, butter yellow serves as an elevated neutral paint color but with more interest and warmth. And while we saw the emergence of this color trend in interiors last year, I'm excited to see Pinterest dub it a major player for the year ahead, where I can imagine it serving as a stylish kitchen color trend.

Aura Indigo

Purple – arguably one of the most divisive colors out there – comes as no surprise in Pinterest's predictions. This nostalgic hue dominated paint brands' Color of the Years, positioning it as a significant shade for 2025.

Personally speaking, I'm yet to be won over by purple room ideas, but it's great to see an uplifting, dopamine-decor-esque hue come to the fore with Pinterest's 'Auro Indigo'. Described by Pinterest as a lilac color 'with an edge', Auro Indigo is said to go hand in hand with 'otherworldly design' – a trend I'm intrigued to see unfold in the coming months.

If you're feeling inspired by this bold hue, I'd recommend exploring the best lavender paints that range from bright and bold to muted and subdued.

Dill Green

Green is one of the most timeless colors, but the specific shades of green dubbed the most trendy are constantly evolving. For Pinterest, 'Dill Green' is the need-to-know about variation for 2025 – a saturated and warming shade much like Little Greene's Hopper which was used on the walls in this living room.

I'm a big fan of decorating with green, and I think shades akin to Pinterest's Dill Green are one of the best ways to bring warmth and depth into that home, without feeling too dark or moody. Colors like this one make an excellent choice in small rooms when color-drenched for a cohesive, wrap-around feel.

Alpine Oat

Although Pinterest's 'Alpine Oat' doesn't fall into the bold camp, it's an equally important color trend for 2025. Described by Pinterest as a 'new neutral', we're seeing endless appeal right now for subtly warm white paints and oaty tones that feel reminiscent of Alpine Oat, and they're such a refreshing step away from harsh, cool-toned whites.

While this is said to be a trend, I fully expect warm whites and delicate neutrals to endure for many years to come in the interior design realm, used as a backdrop color in many rooms, from bedrooms to kitchens.

If you want your home to align with the major color trends, look no further than these five hues. Whether you're drawn to the bolder shades within the palette or the more reserved, each of these colors speaks to the latest interior design trends.
