The Latest Residential Painting Styles and Palettes to Transform Your Space

As we step into 2025, bold and sophisticated color choices are taking center stage in both interior and exterior home design. Whether you're looking to refresh your living room or give your home’s exterior a modern edge, the trends this year offer something for every style. At Jimmy's Painters in Janesville, WI, we’ve rounded up the top color trends and patterns to inspire your next project.

Interior Color Trends for 2025

Earthy Neutrals with a Warm Twist
Neutral shades continue to dominate but with a shift towards warmer tones. Think soft clay, sandy beige, and muted terracotta. These colors create a cozy, inviting ambiance and pair beautifully with natural materials like wood and stone.

Bold Accent Walls
Accent walls are making a strong comeback, with deep, dramatic hues like charcoal, forest green, and wine red adding depth and personality to living spaces. These bold colors work especially well in dining rooms, home offices, or bedrooms.

Moody Blues and Greens
Shades of blue and green, from stormy teal to sage, are perfect for creating serene, nature-inspired interiors. These tones are versatile enough for walls, cabinetry, or even furniture accents.

Patterns with Texture
Interior patterns are getting a textured makeover in 2025:

Subtle Stripes: Add visual interest with thin, tone-on-tone stripes for a minimalist look.

Organic Patterns: Embrace freeform designs inspired by nature, such as leaf shapes or waves, for a soothing effect.

Exterior Color Trends for 2025

Contrasting Two-Tone Exteriors
Two-tone exteriors are trending, with bold combinations like charcoal gray paired with crisp white trim or navy blue with soft beige accents. This trend adds visual interest and highlights architectural details.

Nature-Inspired Palettes
Earthy, organic tones are taking over exterior design. Olive green, warm taupe, and clay red give homes a timeless, grounded appeal while blending seamlessly with their surroundings.

Dark and Dramatic
Dark, moody exteriors are making a statement in 2025. Deep charcoal, black, and dark green are popular choices for siding, with lighter trims providing balance and contrast.

Painted Front Doors
A colorful front door remains a simple way to add charm and personality. Popular shades include sunny yellow, deep plum, and cobalt blue.

How to Incorporate These Trends


Start small with accent walls or furniture to introduce bold colors without overwhelming the space.
Use patterns sparingly in main living areas and more creatively in smaller spaces like powder rooms or entryways.


Choose a palette that complements your neighborhood and landscaping.
Use high-quality, weather-resistant paint to maintain the vibrancy of your chosen colors.
