The colour palette for 2025, is the one that combines warmth, tranquility, and elegance, says, Mukul Prabhakar, Founder of CONCEPTTS. He shares some of the most inviting colours that will trend in the coming year and  bring a unique touch to interiors and help you transform your space into a welcoming retreat:

• Earthy terracotta: Terracotta is back. It has a grounding and comforting effect that feels both timeless and fresh. This warm, clay-like hue brings nature indoors, adding charm to rustic and modern styles alike. It’s ideal for accent walls or in smaller touches, like cushions and throws. Terracotta pairs beautifully with natural woods and greenery, making it perfect for creating cosy, earthy interiors.

• Soft sage green: Sage green continues to be a favourite for its calming and refreshing properties. This muted green brings in hints of nature without overwhelming the senses. It’s versatile enough to suit any room in the house, from kitchens to bedrooms, creating a serene backdrop that complements other warm and neutral tones. Sage green is particularly harmonious with white and light wood finishes, adding a soothing vibe to contemporary spaces.

• Dusky lavender: This subtle purple shade introduces a sense of elegance. It is perfect for spaces dedicated to relaxation, like bedrooms or reading nooks. Dusky lavender is sophisticated and soft, bringing warmth and a hint of colour without being overpowering. It pairs well with both soft greys and bold, jewel tones, making it a wonderful accent colour.

• Warm ochre: Ochre is taking center stage with its rich, sun-soaked warmth. This deep yellow-gold tone is full of life, instantly brightening any room. Used sparingly, it can transform a space by adding depth and warmth. Ochre accents, whether in artwork, rugs, or upholstered furniture, can give rooms a welcoming glow, adding a touch of drama that’s also uplifting.

• Rich teal: Teal, a blend of blue and green, offers the serenity of water with a hint of depth that brings sophistication. It’s perfect for creating a statement wall or adding character to smaller spaces like powder rooms. Rich teal complements metallic accents and natural materials, making it a stunning choice for modern and eclectic designs.
