This article is made special for our design lovers, because here at DCR Homes, we don’t just help people find their dream homes—we also love helping them make those spaces feel truly their own. And when it comes to making a home shine from the inside out, we have an ultimate statement: color is everything.
So, what color palettes are trending right now? After consulting numerous interior design’s blog videos and inspiration from magazines, we’ve learned that Florida homeowners in 2025 are leaning into fresh, comforting, and personality-filled paint palettes that bring out the best in their interiors, with some particular colors we will discuss right away. So, if you’re revamping your living room, enhancing your kitchen, or just daydreaming about your next project, these trending hues are the ones to watch.
Let’s take a look at the top interior paint colors making waves across the Sunshine State this year.
1. A Green Revival with Sage Green
It’s official: green is back—and sage green is leading the charge. This soft, dusty hue has become a favorite for its calming presence and natural charm. We’ve been seeing sage pop up in kitchens, bathrooms, and even home offices. Why? It matches perfectly with both modern and traditional styles, giving off a sense of harmony and balance that fits Florida’s laid-back, indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Now imagine this, for example: Your entire master suite painted in a muted sage with creamy white trim. The result we picture in our minds is a spa-like serenity. Paired with light woods, gold fixtures, or natural textures like linen, sage green helps create an effortlessly stylish space that feels grounded and peaceful.
2. Neutrals with Hints of Color
Nothing new, you may think: beige and white will never go out of style, but in 2025, we’re seeing a shift toward neutrals with a twist. Think soft greige (that stylish mix between gray and beige), warm taupe, or even pale mushroom hues with subtle undertones of pink, lavender, or green.
These “quiet” colors are perfect for open floor plans and transitional spaces. They keep things feeling clean and bright without being too stark—and they serve as the perfect backdrop for pops of color in artwork, pillows, and furniture. The effect of this contrast is elegant, elevated, and totally unexpected.
3. Earthy Classics
As design continues to move toward sustainability and comfort, earthy tones are having a major moment. Think terracotta, burnt sienna, ochre, and clay—all inspired by nature, and perfect for Florida’s warm climate.
These rich tones bring a grounded, organic feel to any space. We’ve seen them used to stunning effect in living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways. What we love most is how well these shades play with natural elements—wood beams, jute rugs, baskets, and stone accents all come to life next to earthy paint colors.
Picture your living room with a bold terracotta accent wall. Combined with creamy white walls and warm wood furniture, it creates a cozy, Mediterranean-inspired vibe that can be your next favorite space in the house.
4. Two-Tone Walls
This is one of our favorite trends of 2025. And it’s not just for its visual appeal, what has caught our attention is the personality it brings to a room, because two-tone walls are all about contrast and creativity. You might see a deep charcoal on the bottom half of a wall with a crisp white on top, or a soft blue paired with a pale gray. The options are endless, and the technique works nicely in both modern and traditional homes.
Want our suggestion? What about a deep navy bottom paired with a pale sand top for your dining room. You might find the result to be stunning: elegant and dramatic, but still bright and with the vibes of a chill, beachy mood. Bonus: two-tone walls can also help define spaces in open-concept homes, which are especially popular here in Florida.
5. Mocha Tones and Leather Saddle Brown
One of the most popular interior decoration trends this 2025 is the Midcentury modern style, which has brought back brown to our walls. In 2025, we’re seeing a resurgence of rich, chocolatey hues: mocha, cocoa, and one of our personal favorites, leather saddle brown.
These tones show warmth and sophistication. When used thoughtfully, they create an atmosphere of comfort and luxury. We’ve seen mocha tones used in studios, dens, and even bedrooms for a more intimate feel. Paired with silver metallics, soft lighting, and luxe textiles like velvet or suede, the effect is downright chic.
6. Passionate Reds
Finally, while many homeowners lean toward calming colors, bold personalities are embracing the opposite: fiery, passionate reds. That leads 2025 to be a year where red isn’t just for accent pillows or other decoration items. We’re seeing vibrant shades like crimson, paprika, and deep merlot making their way onto walls. Used strategically, red can bring energy and drama to spaces like dining rooms, powder rooms, or even kitchen islands.
Our last exercise in letting your imagination run wild: Picture your dining room’s walls covered by a deep wine red paint, balanced with white wooden furniture and a chandelier. The result is a space that feels elegant and ready for entertaining.
So red is powerful (when done right, it evokes confidence and emotion). One last tip: use it in spaces where you want to make a bold statement and set a memorable mood.There’s no doubt that the most exciting part about interior paint trends this year is the diversity: there’s something for every personality and every home style. We always remind our clients: color is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform a space. It sets the tone, shapes the mood, and reflects your unique taste. So either if you’re staging your home to sell or settling into your forever space, don’t be afraid to try something new—or bring a bit more of “you” into your home, one shade at a time.
