The Pantone Color of the Year is always a significant event in the design world, influencing trends across home décor, fashion, and various design industries.  

For 2025, Pantone's predicted Color of the Year is Future Dusk, a rich and immersive colour that merges deep violet and midnight blue. It symbolises the blending of reality and fantasy, making it a versatile choice for various applications in interior design. This hue evokes a sense of mystery and depth, perfect for creating dramatic and sophisticated spaces.

Living Rooms: Use it as a feature wall colour to create a focal point that draws attention and adds depth.
