Something intriguing is unfolding in my usual design approach. I've always leaned towards warm neutrals, yet this year has ushered in an appreciation for deeper, more vibrant shades.
Surprisingly, purple is becoming a favorite this fall. As bold and earthy color trends take center stage for the latter part of 2024, it's no wonder that Glidden has announced their Color of the Year for 2025: Purple Basil.
This retro, plum-purple shade is rich, stylish, and almost edible. Here's why we're thrilled to see purple make a comeback in a fresh way for 2025.
Incorporating purple isn't for everyone. You don't need to cover an entire room; small accents of purple can complement any color scheme beautifully.
In contrast to Glidden's 2024 Color of the Year, a warm beige called Limitless, Purple Basil stands out as a striking statement color. The brand encourages the use of purple, highlighting a nostalgic trend reminiscent of the '70s.
Opinions on purple are quite polarized; you either adore it or can't stand it. 'Next year, we'll boldly embrace the cozy warmth and dynamic energy of shades like Purple Basil,' declares Glidden, summing up the appeal of this vibrant color.
Glidden describes this enchanting shade as 'A mix of warmth and energy, inviting you to transform your space with color.'
When pairing colors with purple, you can lean into its nostalgic essence by combining it with vibrant greens, blues, and rich browns. Alternatively, consider a more understated color palette featuring neutrals accented with touches of plum.
One interior expert shares, 'As a neutral enthusiast, I never considered using a deep purple. However, I found myself drawn to red earlier this year, which unexpectedly opened my eyes to the beauty of rich tones like dark greens, blues, and purples in my decor.'
'As we move into fall, I notice that the popular wine-red shades are evolving into deeper purples. Merlots, burgundies, and purple hues are definitely the go-to colors for fall 2024 and beyond, and I'm excited about it,' she adds.
