What’s Next for Interior Colour Trends in 2025? A Fresh Take on Warmth and Wellness

For years, grey has been the go-to neutral in Australian homes—cool, calm, and endlessly adaptable. But as we step into 2025, the shift away from grey is clear, and it’s making room for something softer, warmer, and far more inviting.

Whether you’re selling your home soon or simply looking to refresh your space, staying in touch with interior trends can help you create a home that feels both current and comforting. According to the latest Dulux colour forecasts, this year is all about earthy hues, rich brown undertones, and the rejuvenating power of green.

Brown is Back (But Not the One You Remember)

This isn’t the heavy brown of the ‘90s—today’s brown is subtler, softer, and plays beautifully with timber tones, brushed golds, and organic textures. With natural undertones and muted warmth, this colour family evokes a deep sense of nurture and stability, which is exactly what many buyers (and homeowners) are craving.

Used on walls, cabinetry, or even soft furnishings, warm browns help create a space that feels grounded, sophisticated, and genuinely liveable.

Green is the New Neutral

One of the standout shifts for 2025 is the rise of green—sage, olive, eucalyptus, and moss are all having their moment. These hues feel fresh and calming, with a strong link to nature, and work brilliantly across all architectural styles—from post-war brick homes to contemporary apartments and classic Queenslanders.

Whether it’s a feature wall, a painted door, or simply accent pieces in the styling, green brings balance, vitality, and a sense of wellness to any space. And if you’re preparing to sell, this could be a simple and on-trend way to lift your interiors and appeal to modern buyers.

Colour that Connects

At RE/MAX Elevate, we believe that colour isn’t just about style—it’s about feeling. As Dulux notes, colour can act as a powerful antidote to the stresses of daily life, offering comfort, positivity, and a sense of belonging in a space.

If you’re considering a refresh before putting your home on the market, we can help you choose a palette that feels both current and classic—highlighting your property’s best features while helping buyers emotionally connect with the space.
