Thinking about giving your home a fresh new look? Whether you’re planning a full renovation or just want to refresh your walls, the right paint colour can make a world of difference. As we head into 2025, Australian colour trends are all about calm, comfort, and connection to nature—with a few bold surprises!

Here’s your guide to the top interior and exterior paint colours for Australian homes in 2025.

🏠 Interior Colour Trends for 2025

1. Warm Neutrals are Making a Comeback

Cool greys are taking a backseat in 2025 as warm neutrals like soft taupe, sandy beige, and clay tones become the new go-to. These earthy colours create a grounded, welcoming feel—perfect for Aussie living rooms and open-plan spaces.

Popular shades:

  • Dulux Beige Royal

  • Taubmans Pebble Bay

  • Haymes Barely There

2. Coastal Blues & Dusty Greens

Inspired by Australia’s beaches and bushlands, expect to see soothing blues and muted greens throughout interiors—from bathroom walls to bedroom feature walls.

Try pairing:

  • Dusty blue walls with white trim

  • Olive green in kitchens with timber or brass accents

Top picks:

  • Dulux Tranquil Retreat

  • British Paints Seagrass Whisper

3. Bold Accents: Terracotta & Burnt Orange

Australians are embracing character and personality through accent walls and cabinetry in warm terracotta, ochre, and even paprika tones. These colours add energy without overwhelming a space.

4. Soft Pinks & Mauves

Yes, pink is here to stay—but in 2025, it’s softer, duskier, and more versatile. Think blush, mauve, and dusty rose—ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, or reading corners.

🏡 Exterior Colour Trends for 2025

1. Classic Whites & Off-Whites

In Australia’s bright sun, a clean white exterior never goes out of style. For 2025, slightly warm off-whites are gaining popularity, creating a fresh look that still feels soft and inviting.

Best used with:

  • Black or charcoal trim

  • Timber elements or stone cladding

2. Deep Charcoals & Monument Greys

For a sleek, modern finish—especially on new builds—deep greys like Monument, Basalt, or even matte black exteriors are big in 2025. These pair beautifully with minimalist landscaping and architectural lines.

3. Nature-Inspired Greens

Expect to see more sage and eucalyptus green homes, especially in bushland and coastal areas. These tones blend harmoniously with the Aussie landscape while still feeling contemporary.

4. Statement Doors

A fun trend that’s growing fast—bright or contrasting front doors! From mustard yellow to navy blue or even fire engine red, front doors are becoming the new place to show off your style.

Tips for Choosing the Right Colour

  • Test in natural light. Aussie light is strong—colours can look very different depending on the time of day.

  • Think about your surroundings. Bush, beach, or city—choose colours that complement your environment.

  • Talk to a pro. A colour consultation with a painter or designer can save time and money by getting it right the first time.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re repainting a single room or transforming your entire exterior, 2025 is the year of balanced beauty: calm neutrals, nature-inspired palettes, and confident pops of colour. Let your home reflect who you are—with colours that feel timeless and trend-forward.
