Colour Trends For 2025
Each year a team of top international design experts come together to discuss world wide trends. This is then translated into a colour scheme, then they compile a colour of the year with supporting colour palettes. They have selected a range of colours they think will be the trend throughout 2025.
What Is The Trend Colour For 2025
The colour of the year 2025 is…… 40YY 49/546 (also known as True Joy™).
“Inspired by local cultures around the world, our proud colours are created to celebrate the rich heritages that make us unique from one another. From the deep reds in Chinese culture to the dark greens of Africa, each colour allows us to feel rooted in our identities. A place where anyone can feel at home. ”
“THIS YEAR
This year, there’s a growing sense across the world that life must be better elsewhere. In times like these, there’s a desire to break free, press reset and welcome in the new.
This change allows our imaginations to run wild and gives us the chance to create something new and exciting.
Everyone just needs to believe it’s possible. That’s where our Colour of the Year and three new
colour palettes come in.”

Stepping back in time

Stepping back in time
Stepping back in time, kind of. I revisited this 17th century property again recently to paint the exterior again, which I did back in 2014. Both the woodwork and the masonry had weathered well considering the property is exposed on all sides
Some filling was needed to repair some minor rot on a couple of windows, the masonry has lasted well, but as it is so exposed to the elements it had faded, and there was some mould and lichen growth.
This was treated and removed before apply two coats of masonry paint. The windows were then painted, pipework and plinth. Once completed it bought the property back up to scratch and to its former glory and now almost glows when the sun is on it that can be seen as you drive along neighbouring roads.
So now this property will look good, and be protected from the elements for at least eight more years.
