The 2025 Color Trends, which are the result of the collaboration between CMF designer Olga Salvoni and Archt. Alessandro Galimberti, trace a path towards a design  focusing  on  the  soul.
2025 is going to be a year of extraordinary s design, marking a milestone in which aesthetics and meaning find a new balance. The central point of such a transformation is a renewed dialogue with materials: a celebration of textures, colors and finishes that not only furnish spaces but transform them into complete sensory experiences. Sustainability is an unavoidable priority, prompting planners and designers to rethink materials and color choices with an ethical and conscious approach.

The color trends of 2025 are not a simple aesthetic update, but create a story that interweaves past and future, nature and technology, emotion and functionality. Every color palette, every finish, and every inspiration are part of a journey through different ages and cultures, reinterpreting traditions while looking ahead toward a tomorrow full of unprecedented perspectives. It is a visual and sensory tale that invites not only to see, but also to touch, listen and feel the living space in a completely new way.

1. Between the Folds of Time: nostalgia behind interior wall color trends

The first color trend of 2025, Between the Folds of Time, proposes a design that transforms nostalgia into a structural and narrative element. Such an approach gives value to the past not only as an aesthetic inspiration, but as a tool for creating different types of meanings and atmospheres into environments.

Fine historic materials,such as marble, alabaster, and aged wood, are harmoniously blended with precious metals, such as burnished gold and bronze, creating surfaces that convey a feeling of authenticity and refinement. The combination of these textures gives spaces a visual and tactile quality that evokes the passage of time.

In terms of color, the palette is characterized by deep and rich shades, such as deep burgundy, warm browns and dusty beiges. And in the latest color trends for interior walls, these shades offer an endless number of customization possibilities both for residential and commercial spaces. The layered design that characterizes this trend creates a unique visual narrative, where each architectural or decorative element tells a story and is an invitation to meditate on the connection between past and present.

The color palette reflects a search for purity and balance, taking advantage of the various shades of white to shape surfaces capable of capturing and diffusing the light in a natural way. This approach to interior wall painting not only emphasizes the space of the settings, but also offers a feeling of calm and introspection, transforming each space into an intimate and welcoming retreat.
