The world’s color experts have released their chosen colors for 2025, and we’re excited to say that there’s a calming theme throughout the bunch. Although the colors range from greens to purples, there’s a noticeable throughline of muted and vintage-inspired hues which are perfect for creating cozy, serene atmospheres in nurseries.
In this article, we’ll discuss the colors of the year for 2025 and provide a few tips to help you get started on your own nursery.
The Return of Purple
Underused in recent years, purple is making a comeback in 2025–just not how you might expect. Benjamin Moore’s color of the year is Cinnamon Slate, which is described as a “delicate mix of heathered plum and velvety brown [that] offers enduring style and a modern sensibility.”
PPG has also named Purple Basil its color of the year. It is described as deep yet muted, with “a touch of warmth from the red pigments in its composition.” Both shades bring about a sense of familiarity and coziness, perfect for adding warmth to your nursery.
Nursery Tip: When you pick out your furniture, consider your wall color. This year’s muted shades of purple pair perfectly with the Palo Collection in Wheat. The crib’s rounded headboard seamlessly combines safety and style, creating a nurturing and aesthetically pleasing environment for you and your little one. Add gold accents to the room to create an eclectic, vintage-inspired nursery while sticking to the nursery color trends.
Vintage & Cozy Vibes
Sherwin-Williams’ color of the year is Quietude. This neutral shade of green is aptly named, as it feels peaceful and restful. It features a blue-gray undertone, which makes it particularly cool and calm. It adds to the serene atmosphere that you’ll want in your nursery, along with the vintage yet contemporary charm that will help your nursery feel both timeless and modern.
Nursery Tip: To create the perfect nursery, choose furniture that can complement this vintage-inspired color without being overly kitschy. The Natart Kyoto crib features a modern leather headboard that perfectly juxtaposes the vintage theme, adding timeless elegance to your nursery. The crib comes in Charcoal, Linen, or White finishes, all of which work well with Quietude.
The colors of the year for 2025 are delightfully serene, which means they will easily lend themselves to nursery color trends. As highlighted above, Cinnamon Slate, Purple Basil, and Quietude are especially useful for creating the perfect restful space for your little one. From vintage-inspired hues to the resurgence of purple tones, it’s an exciting time to design your nursery! No matter which you choose, you’ll end up with a timeless, peaceful environment in which you can create memories with your baby.
