PANTONE VIEW Home + Interiors Forecast 2025
What’s ahead in 2025? Lee Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, and the director of the Eiseman Center for Color Information and Training, has shared insights on the home color trends that will be popular with consumers in 2025.
Just as different people have different tastes in music, they also have different tastes in color…so there’s color inspiration for almost everyone within the seven newly release color palettes in the PANTONE VIEW Home and Interiors 2025 forecast.
“Harmony is a beautiful word that conjures up certain pictures in your mind…being in tune with ourselves and with others within our immediate surroundings and the greater world around us.” – Lee Eiseman
Harmony in color unifies all the disparate elements of a product or design and helps ensure the right mood is being set. While the paths to harmony are many, they all center around our desire for balance and unity in our surroundings and the feeling of peace and cohesiveness it engenders.
Just as harmony is associated with combining different complementary musical notes, each of the seven Pantone color palettes has a musical name to describe the complementary colors.
- Blended Notes – Described by Eiseman as “healthful and tranquil,” this palette features cool naturals, icy tones and refreshing blue-greens. It’s gently stimulating, like a breath of fresh air.
- Easy Listening – “This palette is all about serenity,” said Eiseman. “It says ‘Let’s relax. Let’s unwind.” It features a variety of soft and light-hearted pastels “with a gentle fizz.”
- Tempo Timing – Inspired by kinetic energy and youthful athleticism, this palette is polished and crafted. Dark conveys a sense of power, Eiseman explained, so this palette includes several dark tones. But it also contains a few lighter ones like off-white and peach so it’s not too dark.
- Staccato – In what Eiseman called a “different kind of mix,” Staccato can be described as representing “sweet and sour.” It incorporates bright colors that can be used in color blocking, and evokes feelings of design as play.
- Stage Prescence – Retro 1970s stylings and smooth jazz are influences in this earthy and eclectic palette that can easily be used in bold patterning. It features strong colors like tan with a little orange in it, but it’s still smooth, said Eiseman.
- Perfect Pitch – Some might call this palette “gothic” Eiseman said, but she described it as “smokey and high-brow with colors that appear to have a powdery finish.” It feels cinematic and mysterious, while conveying a feeling of sophistication and luxury.
- Crescendo – Like its name conveys, Crescendo includes colors that seems to make noise. Though Eiseman called it “not quite as bold as Staccato,” this palette also features vibrant tones that seem to build toward a joyful journey. It has influences in both technology and music.
