Paint is still a top choice for changing a room. In 2025, new trends are shaping how people paint their homes. If you live in Saskatoon or just love home design, it helps to know what’s hot and what’s not.
What’s In: Top Paint Trends for 2025
In 2025, warm colors like soft greens, beige, and pinks are very popular. People also love bold colors like navy and dark red for accent walls. Matte and glossy finishes are both being used to create fun and stylish rooms.
1. Nature Colors: Greens and Neutrals
Soft greens like sage, olive, and eucalyptus are popular now. They feel calm and natural. Warm colors like mushroom and sandy beige are replacing cool grays.
Try these:
- Benjamin Moore’s “Regent Green”
- Sherwin-Williams’ “Evergreen Fog”
- Behr’s “Sage Green
2. Deep, Bold Colors
Rich shades like navy, charcoal, and burgundy are in. People use them on one wall or in small rooms.
Good picks:
- Farrow & Ball’s “Railings”
- PPG’s “Black Flame”
3. Soft Pinks and Earth Tones
Colors like dusty pink, clay, and terracotta are back. They add warmth and work well in bedrooms.
4. Gloss and Matte Finishes
Glossy paint is used in small areas to add shine. Matte paint is great for a soft look.
Tip: Use matte in bedrooms. Use gloss on trim or cabinets.
5. One-Color Rooms (Color Drenching)
Paint everything in the same color—walls, trim, and ceiling. This makes rooms feel bold and cozy.
6. Two Colors on One Wall
Use a light color on top and a dark color on the bottom. Or try colorful trim for a fun style.
What’s Out: Trends Fading in 2025
Some trends are going out of style in 2025. All-gray and all-white rooms feel too cold and plain now. People want warmer colors and more personality in their spaces.
1. Too Much Gray
Gray is still around, but cold, flat grays are fading. People now want warm tones.
2. All-White Rooms
White is clean, but many now want more color and comfort.
3. Cold, Industrial Style
Bare concrete and steel are less popular. People want softer rooms.
4. Glossy Everything
Too much shine can feel too much. Use gloss in small doses.
Saskatoon Style Tips
Saskatoon has cold winters and dry air. Here’s how that affects painting:
- Use fast-drying paint in winter.
- Choose warm colors to fight winter gloom.
- Use mold-resistant paint in wet areas.
Popular local styles:
- Prairie tones: warm browns and soft greens.
- Nordic style: light walls and natural wood.
What Experts and Painters Say
Many painters say people now like personal, fun paint choices. One Saskatoon home used all taupe paint for walls, ceiling, and trim. It looked cozy and calm.
Try samples first. Paint one wall. Look at the color in sunlight and at night.
