As we move further into 2025, homeowners in Edmonton are embracing bold design choices and calming tones that reflect personality and style. Whether you’re refreshing your living room, renovating your kitchen, or just adding a splash of something new, paint is one of the most effective ways to transform your space.
At Phoenix Painting, we’ve been helping Edmonton homeowners bring their visions to life with high-quality finishes and expert guidance. If you’re planning an interior painting project this year, here are the top 5 paint colour trends for 2025 to inspire your next transformation.
1. Earthy Greens
Natural, grounded tones are dominating 2025’s design landscape—and earthy greens are leading the way. Think sage, olive, eucalyptus, and forest green. These shades bring a calming, organic feel into the home, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and even kitchens.
Why Edmonton homeowners love it:
Green tones offer a soothing contrast to the long winter season. They pair beautifully with wood accents and natural textures that are popular in prairie-style and West Coast-inspired interiors.
Pro tip: Pair with off-whites or warm neutrals for a modern, clean look.
Example Shades:
October Mist (Benjamin Moore 1495)
A soft, silvery green that feels grounded and fresh.

2. Warm Neutrals
While cool greys had their moment, 2025 is all about warmth. Expect to see a surge in cozy neutrals like taupe, greige, sand, and soft beige. These shades are versatile, timeless, and work well in both traditional and contemporary homes.
Best for: Open concept living spaces, hallways, and home offices.
Why it works in Edmonton homes:
With our long winters and lower natural light in colder months, warm tones help add brightness and comfort to interior spaces.
Example Shades:
Accessible Beige – Sherwin-Williams
A balanced neutral with warm undertones that suits most rooms.

Edgecomb Gray – Benjamin Moore HC-173
A soft greige that’s both cozy and modern.

3. Moody Blues
Deep navy, midnight blue, and stormy slate tones are trending hard in 2025. These rich, dramatic colours are perfect for creating a statement wall or adding depth to smaller rooms like powder rooms or dens.
Great for: Accent walls, dining rooms, or modern feature spaces.
Painting tip: Matte or satin finishes help reduce light reflection and give a smooth, luxe finish that makes moody blues stand out even more.
Example Shades
Hale Navy (Benjamin Moore HC-154)
A deep, classic navy with a rich, velvety finish.

Naval – Sherwin-Williams 6244
Bold and elegant for feature walls and cabinetry.

4. Sun-Washed Terracotta
Inspired by Mediterranean interiors and desert landscapes, sun-washed terracotta and clay hues are making a comeback. These colours add a cozy, lived-in vibe to any space and work especially well in combination with natural wood and neutral textiles.
Why it’s trending:
People are gravitating toward colour palettes that feel grounded and warm, especially in multi-functional spaces like living rooms and kitchens.
In Edmonton homes:
Terracotta works beautifully in both newer homes and older character properties. It pairs well with gold fixtures, vintage furniture, and boho-inspired décor.
Example Shades
Canyon Dusk (Behr S210-4)
A warm terracotta that gives off a sun-baked desert feel.
🔗 Canyon Dusk – Behr
Red Earth – Farrow & Ball No.64
A cozy, rustic shade that warms up any space.

5. Soft Black and Charcoal
Black isn’t going anywhere in 2025—but it’s being used more thoughtfully. Soft black and charcoal are being used to add depth, contrast, and sophistication without overwhelming a space.
Perfect for: Window trim, kitchen islands, staircases, and built-in cabinetry.
Why Edmonton homeowners are using it:
When done right, black adds modern edge and visual structure. It’s especially striking when contrasted with white walls or lighter cabinetry.
Example Shades
Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams 7069)
A rich charcoal that adds contrast without harshness.
🔗 Iron Ore – Sherwin-Williams
Wrought Iron – Benjamin Moore 2124-10
Dark and moody, but soft enough for interior trims or built-ins.
