At the start of each new year, the color of the year is chosen. You might think it stays at one color, but that's not entirely true. Famous paint brands come up with their own color choice, as do home inspiration companies. These leading companies have chosen their own color of the year, but they all have something in common. What that commonality is between these colors will become clear in this blog article.
Which color is popular for the nursery in 2025?
In 2025, the nursery will be completely re-imagined: traditional clichés of a boy's or girl's room will be replaced by modern, gender-neutral concepts. Think of a combination of Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese sophistication (also known as Japandi) or natural themes such as jungle and forest. These styles create a soothing and stylish atmosphere where your baby feels safe and secure. No busy colors and gaudy designs, but peace and simplicity now prevail.
Themed rooms with a touch of nature add a personal touch to the space and simultaneously stimulate your little one's senses. For parents who value both style and sustainability, the 2025 nursery combines the best of both worlds.
What is Japandi style?
In 2025, the Japandi style remains a popular choice for the nursery. This harmonious blend of Scandinavian minimalism and Japanese aesthetics radiates tranquility, elegance, and timelessness.
The emphasis is on natural colors such as beige, earthy tones, and cream shades that create a calm atmosphere. Materials such as light wood, bamboo, and rattan provide warmth and durability, while sleek, multifunctional furniture designs make optimal use of the available space.
By adding plants to the design, you bring nature and vibrancy into the room. This, combined with soft fabrics, creates a comfortable and secure environment.
What are the trend colors for the nursery in 2025?
1. Greige
In 2025, greige will be central as the trend color for the nursery. This refined mix of gray and beige combines the cool elegance of gray with the warm appearance of beige, resulting in a calming and timeless atmosphere. Earthy tones such as greige, sand, and soft natural nuances are becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility and gender-neutral character.
Greige forms an ideal foundation for your nursery. It is easy to mix with both soft pastels and deep, rich colors, depending on the desired style. The natural look of greige is reminiscent of the warm texture of wood, and with this color as a base, you quickly create an inviting and cozy atmosphere.
This versatile shade seamlessly complements popular interior styles such as Scandinavian design, Japandi, and natural themes. By choosing greige as a base, you automatically opt for a calm overall look, and your baby will be able to relax well.
2. Earth tones
While brick, terracotta, powder, reddish-brown, and beige were enormously popular in 2024, this trend continues into 2025. This combination of earth tones creates a nursery with a calm base. But what's particularly nice about these earth tones is the fact that they combine perfectly with accent colors. Practically any color fits as an accent color in this palette, but in 2025, you'll primarily see the trend colors eggplant, lilac, the yellow color True Joy, Amethyst Shadow, and mocha mousse. This way, all the different trend colors of this year fit into the design of your nursery.
What accents can you add to a good base?
Nothing is mandatory, anything goes. When choosing accessories in an accent color, you should follow your feelings and your taste! What works well for one person might not be liked by another. Accents can be incorporated into rugs, small pieces of furniture, wall stickers, and curtains. At Ollebol & Muis, we often receive inquiries about whether a cuddly toy or music box can be made in the color of the nursery. That can be the base color, but of course also the accent color! Ollebol & Muis is happy to help with color choices and can suggest options. The most important thing for us is that it's your choice and that it's a beautiful addition to the nursery decor.
Are you interested in a custom-made product for your nursery, such as a crocheted cuddly toy, Waldorf butterfly doll, or a music box in a specific color or theme? Email info@ollebolenmuis.nl. I would be happy to get in touch with you to discuss some options.
