How to use the colours of the year in your interior

• Choose a dominant colour for walls or large textiles

• Use colour accents to add personality (cushions, wall lights, decorative pieces)

• Balance the dominant shade with neutral tones

• Experiment with textures – the same shade can feel different on velvet, wood or glass

• Mind the light – check how your chosen colour looks in both natural and artificial light

The colours of 2025 reflect a return to authenticity, emotional comfort and a connection with nature. Whether you opt for a delicate touch of Peach Fuzz or deep shades of green and terracotta, the key is to create a balanced, pleasant setting in harmony with your lifestyle.
