Each year, Sherwin-Williams releases a color of the year to encapsulate current design trends. This announcement lets interior designers and homeowners alike get a special preview of popular selections for the upcoming year. When designing a home, the details make all the difference. One of the most powerful tools in shaping a room is paint. The right paint color can expand a space, set the mood, and transform the entire energy of a room.
This year, Sherwin Williams went a step beyond the color of the year. They decided to announce a capsule of nine colors for homeowners and home designers to create with. These nine colors include Grounded, Sunbleached, Chartreuse, Bosc Pear, White Snow, Rain Cloud, Clove, Malabar, and Mauve Finery. These colors are carefully selected to inspire and transform home design in 2025.
To start, the color collection Grounded is a rich, brown shade that evokes a sense of calmness in any room. The use of a dark brown paint color can express an earthy tone with a note of sophistication. It is excellent in living areas, offices, and library spaces.
This next selection is a much brighter color which offers contrast to the previous brown selection. Sunbleached is a neutral color with personality. It is common to see white and beige on the walls of homes, but this shade has a balance between warm and cool that makes it a dynamic choice.
After looking at a neutral option, Chartreuse can be that pop of color that you are searching for. The bright mix of yellow and green injects energy into a space, making it feel lively and uplifting.
This golden color selection has versatile uses in home design. Whether you want an accent color or a neutral base, the subtle use of Bosc Pear can create a sense of luxury and elegance.
White paint colors are a timeless selection for interior design. This pure white, White Snow, can be used to highlight the use of other colors or brighten a room. It is also great for creating an expansive feel in smaller spaces.
Blue is a classic, beloved shade in a home. This specific deep blue shade, Rain Cloud, goes beautifully in bedrooms and bathrooms as it creates a serene atmosphere for your personal space.
This color selection comes from the Warm + Welcoming palette from Sherwin Williams Designer Color Collection. The warmth of a dark brown color such as Clove can feel grounding and comforting in a home. This works wonderfully in spaces where relaxation and connection are key, such as living rooms and dens.
Beige is trending in home design and it creates a clean, comfortable environment. Malabar is a sandy beige that pairs well with the rest of the collection and should not be overlooked.
Mauve sticks with the calming, sophisticated, and warm consistencies of the rest of the collection. The color Mauve Finery is an excellent choice for a soft dining room, accent wall, or bedroom just to name a few.
Whether you are designing your dream home or looking to refresh your space, Sherwin Williams’ 2025 Color Capsules offers a wealth of options to inspire your next design project. From grounding earthy tones and neutral beiges to vibrant pops of color, these nine shades provide endless possibilities for transforming any room into a modern, beautifully designed space.
