2025 has been a refreshingly colorful year. From the return of brown to the much-loved butter yellow, it's fair to say the spectrum of trending colors has been vast. While many of these shades prove to be a popular choice among designers and homeowners, there are some trending hues from this year that designers say they would never actually use in their own homes.
Color trends don't always live for very long; they can be gimmicky, or seasonal, or just not very usable. The reality is that many of these fleeting colors aren't quite as appealing to designers when it comes to creating a timeless home.
