1. Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball

Cara Fineman is a fan of deep, moody blues, which is why she chose Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball for the primary bedroom design. 'Darker than navy, Hague Blue is rich, bold, and adds a sense of depth to any room,' says the founder of DAG Design.

'This color brings an air of sophistication while preserving a peaceful ambiance, making it an ideal choice for creating those intimate, cocoon-like spaces that many people are drawn to at the start of the year.'

2. Smoky Azurite by Sherwin-Williams

Smoky Azurite by Sherwin-Williams is a striking shade of blue that's currently trending.

"We embraced this bold color, covering every surface, even ensuring the drapery matched the exact shade of the walls."

3. Funky Fruit by Benjamin Moore

In 2025, expect bold, vibrant colors to take center stage. "Our clients are stepping away from sticking only to neutral paint colors and embracing more unique and colorful combinations," says Christina Kim, founder of Christina Kim Interior Design.

4. Eating Room Red by Farrow & Ball

Don't be afraid to embrace bold red tones in your home. "There's a reason red is so commonly used in restaurant branding—it’s inviting and cozy," says Jeanne Barber, the founder of Camden Grace Interiors.

Add a touch of wine-inspired charm to your dining area—specifically to the walls.
