As the weather cools and the holidays approach, Wisconsin homeowners are turning their attention inward — making homes warmer, cozier, and more personal. One of the simplest ways to transform your space this season is with an accent wall that highlights the top color trends of 2025.

At Jimmy’s Painters in Janesville, we stay ahead of the color curve to help you create interiors that feel both timeless and on-trend. Here’s how to use 2025’s most popular colors to add warmth, depth, and comfort to your home this fall.

Terracotta Tones: Rustic Warmth Meets Modern Comfort

Rich, earthy hues like terracotta, clay, and baked sienna are leading 2025’s palette — perfect for creating a sense of grounded warmth.

Why it works: These colors mimic the natural warmth of autumn leaves and pair beautifully with beige, cream, and soft wood finishes.

Best spaces: Living rooms, dining rooms, or entryways where you want to invite conversation and comfort.

Painter’s tip: Pair a terracotta accent wall with neutral trim or crisp white ceilings to balance the richness of the color.

Deep Greens: Organic and Calming

Nature-inspired greens — especially olive, moss, and forest — are still trending strong in 2025. They offer a perfect blend of serenity and sophistication.

Why it works: Deep greens feel cozy in low light yet fresh during the day, grounding your space through Wisconsin’s long winters.

Best spaces: Bedrooms, offices, or living rooms where you want calm and focus.

Style pairing: Combine with natural wood tones, woven textures, and black accents for a cozy, modern look.

Muted Plums and Dusty Reds: Subtle Luxury

Soft plum, cranberry, and wine-inspired tones are re-emerging as 2025’s elevated neutrals — offering warmth without overpowering a room.

Why it works: These hues add a refined sense of drama while staying approachable and homey.

Best spaces: Dining rooms, hallways, or powder rooms where you want a sophisticated fall-inspired statement.

Painter’s tip: Use a satin finish for a soft sheen that enhances the color without making it feel glossy.

Golden Neutrals: Cozy Light for Shorter Days

Warm, golden neutrals like buttercream, amber, and wheat are trending this year as homeowners move away from cool grays.

Why it works: These tones reflect natural light beautifully, adding warmth to Wisconsin homes as daylight hours shorten.

Best spaces: Kitchens, family rooms, and open-plan living areas.

Design pairing: Blend with earthy accent décor — think leather, rattan, and copper — for a layered fall feel.

Accent Wall Placement: Make Every Room Pop

An accent wall doesn’t just add color — it creates a focal point that defines your space.

• In living rooms, paint the fireplace wall to draw attention to the heart of your home.
• In bedrooms, accent the headboard wall to add dimension and intimacy.
• In dining rooms, highlight the wall behind a buffet or artwork for visual depth.

The key is balance: one wall in a bold, warm tone surrounded by lighter complementary shades.
