Interior House Painting Colour Trends (2025)

1. Warm Whites & Soft Beiges

Cool whites are out—warmer tones are in. Colours like Dulux Antique White U.S.A. and Whisper White are perfect for opening up spaces while adding comfort. They work especially well with timber floors, high ceilings, and ornate cornices.

2. Earthy Neutrals

Beige with depth is trending. Think Hog Bristle Half, Clay Pipe, or Natural White—earthy tones that ground a space and give it that “homey” feel without being dull.

3. Dusty Greens & Soft Olives

Nature-inspired greens like Sage Green and Lichen are growing in popularity. These shades complement timber trims and lend a peaceful feel—great for bedrooms or living rooms.

4. Muted Pastels for Character Rooms

Light mauves, dusty blues, and pale corals (all with grey undertones) can add just enough personality without clashing with the Queenslander’s heritage vibe.

Exterior House Painting Colour Trends (2025)

1. Grey-Based Neutrals

Soft greys and muted charcoals are the go-to exterior base for 2025. Colours like Tranquil Retreat or Dieskau pair beautifully with white trims, offering a sharp but classic look.

2. All-White Elegance

An all-white Queenslander never goes out of style. It’s crisp, fresh, and gives that “high-end Hamptons” feel—especially with contrasting black or navy doors.

3. Earthy, Natural Tones

Deep olives, sage greens, and even clay reds are becoming popular for a bolder, grounded look that blends in with Brisbane’s lush greenery.

4. Monochrome With Accent Colour

Pairing a white base with dark trims (charcoal, navy) and a pop-colour front door (like burnt orange or eucalyptus green) adds a modern edge while keeping the structure timeless.

S2F’s Tips for Picking the Right Paint

• Respect the Era: Match colours to the home’s architectural style and age.

• Test in Natural Light: Brisbane sun hits different—always patch test!

• Think Long-Term: Quality finishes and smart colour choice = value and less repainting.
