It’s time to look ahead to 2025: how do we imagine our environments? What are the must-have trends and must-have shades? For the home, it looks like yellow is set to win. But not just any shade: the yellow True Joy, true joy. It turns out cheerful, energizing and conveys good mood: the end of summer brings with it the desire not to give up sunshine and joy. And this yellow is ready to change our homes in a (to say the least) super trendy way.
True Joy yellow is the trend color in 2025 for the home
Announcing the color of the year was Dutch multinational AkzoNobel: the 2024 shade was the mineral pink, in 2025, on the other hand, we bet everything on one of the most energetic and “wow” shades. We are not, after all, talking about just any shade of yellow, but rather a vibrant shade that can instill a deep sense of peace and… joy! A bit of those good vibes we all seek in our home, the ultimate safe haven.
There are three complementary color palettes, including True Joy yellow: the research was conducted by experts in the field, from specialist journalism to designers. Specifically, it was chosen because it is a profoundly positive color, but at the same time it is not the most popular color in our homes, where we usually tend to favor more muted shades. Intense yellow thus even becomes a tool for getting out of the comfort zone and opt for something bolder in our homes.
Can a color do all this? Actually, yes, since it stimulates positive emotions in us. This is nothing new in the end: it makes us feel happy and brings vibrancy to environments. Not surprisingly, recent years have seen an increase in searches for “sunshine yellow paints“, and we can exploit it at home to brighten up the hallway, which is usually the dullest area of the house, to bring a breath of fresh air to the kitchen or even for create cozy family environment. Rich, but never overwhelming, this cheerful and bright shade Will bring sunshine throughout the year.
With what colors to match True Joy yellow to decorate home
The good news is that the yellow True Joy can be used on its own, perhaps leaning toward a yellow wall in net contrast with the rest of the white walls, as a kind of “bold” statement, or we have the opportunity to play with additional shades, including orange, blue e gray. But we must do this by taking a style as a reference, otherwise we risk lapsing into a veiled kitsch effect. Yellow-colored niches or alcoves do particularly well in any context, from the living room to the bedroom. True Joy complements a wide range of palettes, so it pairs easily with more neutral tones and becomes the perfect glue for those who dream of being even bolder.
Ideas for the color palette strong With bright yellow? Bright blue and orange, which contrast sharply but come across as decidedly energetic, perfect for a stimulating and creative environment such as the studio where to do smart work, or perhaps to modify one’s input. Coral, light blue and red mahogany are additional landmarks.
Instead, for those who prefer a neutral color palette, then the effect to be achieved is subtle, never ostentatious nor banal: in this case it is useful to play with handcrafted furniture and wood, perhaps focusing on walnut, brown, white (also in the pearl variant), beige and many others. For the bedroom or the living room, for those who do not like contrasts too much, this is the perfect palette.
There is, then, the Eclectic palette with the True Joy: only for those who really adore colors and want to create a rich, warm, enveloping family environment. A place to really feel safe, in short. Gold-colored, terracotta-colored, cinnamon-colored, earth-colored or chestnut-colored, or even cobalt-colored: let’s indulge as we like. Another idea is to go for spicy colors: cinnamon, turmeric, saffron and paprika above all.
How to decorate any room with yellow True Joy
Yellow is a color of character. As wonderful as it can be, we need to take some factors into account to avoid an overly strong effect: for example, lighting, style and details. White and gray go well with yellow in a modern context, while blue and gold for those who do not give up classic style. The complementary color par excellence is purple, but it can be diluted with gray or metal: it all depends on the final effect we wish to achieve.
In bedroom, which is the room we use the most, we need to take as a reference point the style of the room, including the textile pieces: yellow-colored pillows serve to enrich the bed and give a special touch in the whole, with an atmosphere that is crisp, but not overly so.
In bathroom, however, we can even dare much more: the new bathroom concept in recent years allows us to have a kind of mini spa in the home. Here yellow finds its dimension: it brings that breath of freshness and character, both for the walls and for the accessories that complete the room and redefine the decor.
Yellow makes a wonderful statement in kitchen, where it conveys a powerful sense of comfort and charges us with positive energy in the morning, putting us in a good mood. Again, we can introduce yellow into the walls and play for accessories and furnishings with spicy colors.. In autumn, there is an opportunity to enrich the environment by decorating with flowers: the compositions in warm tones invigorate the room, never weighing it down, but making it romantic.
In living room and in the living room, finally, the yellow True Joy finds new ways to surprise us: room for experimentation. It can be a accent color o color of tip, especially playing with tones on a neutral base or earthy colors. In an open space, True Joy yellow becomes the best way to highlight areas and divide the space in a functional and colorful way. For 2025, let’s bring “true joy” into our homes: this shade of yellow promises to be beloved.
