Colour is one of the most powerful tools in interior design—it sets the tone, evokes emotion, and instantly defines a space. As we enter 2025, the palette is shifting. The bold, saturated tones of previous years are giving way to more subtle, earthy, and sophisticated combinations that speak to wellness, elegance, and timeless style.
At FirstPoint Interiors, we’re curating colour stories that reflect both global design shifts and Dubai’s unique lifestyle. Here’s your guide to what’s hot—and what’s no longer making the cut.
What’s In: Colour Trends Dominating 2025
1. Earthy Neutrals with a Twist
Neutrals remain strong, but in 2025, they’re richer and warmer. Think sandstone, camel, mushroom grey, and clay. These shades create calm, grounded interiors that feel luxurious yet effortless.
Try this combo: Clay beige + soft sage green + brushed gold accents.
2. Moss Green & Olive Tones
Inspired by nature, green continues to rise, but it’s evolving. Forget forest green or emerald—2025 is all about moss, olive, and eucalyptus, bringing a sense of depth and organic calm.
These shades work beautifully with stone, wood, and creamy whites—ideal for biophilic and minimalist designs.
3. Soft Terracotta & Dusty Rose
Warm and tactile, these desert-inspired tones are perfect for accent walls, textiles, and even kitchen cabinetry. They pair beautifully with natural textures like linen, travertine, and rattan.
Perfect for Dubai villas seeking warmth without heaviness.
4. Deep Navy & Inky Blues
Dark, moody blues are making a comeback—but with a modern, matte finish. Used in moderation, they add depth and drama to interiors without overwhelming the space.
Combine with brushed brass or walnut wood for a rich, tailored look.
5. Buttery Yellows & Warm Ochres
Yellows are back, but not the lemon kind. Think muted mustard, ochre, and buttery soft yellows that feel sun-washed and cozy—perfect for adding subtle energy without intensity.
What’s Out: Colours We're Leaving Behind
1. Cool Greys & Stark White Walls
Once the go-to minimalist palette, cold greys and sterile whites are fading fast. They lack the warmth and personality today’s homeowners are craving.
Replace with taupe, greige, or soft ivory for a more inviting feel.
2. Over-Saturated Jewel Tones
Teal, emerald, and royal purple had their moment. In 2025, interiors are leaning toward muted, nature-inspired tones that feel timeless and versatile.
3. Black on Black
Monochrome black interiors are giving way to softer, layered designs. While black can still be used as an accent, all-black kitchens and bathrooms feel heavy and outdated.
4. Blush Pink Overload
While dusty rose is staying, the once-popular millennial pink is on its way out—too sweet, too trendy, and not grounded enough for the sophisticated interiors of today.
Colour Combinations We’re Loving in 2025
- Olive Green + Warm Taupe + Brass
- Moss Green + Soft Clay + Natural Wood
- Inky Blue + Sandstone + Off-White
- Dusty Rose + Ivory + Matte Black Accents
- Ochre Yellow + Eucalyptus + Stone Grey
These combinations reflect natural harmony while remaining modern and adaptable to Dubai’s luxury homes and contemporary apartments.
