When it comes to creating curb appeal, color matters. As we head deeper into 2025, homeowners are embracing warmer, earthier shades that connect their homes to the landscape while staying fresh and modern.
At Gravina’s®, we know how important it is to choose a color that not only complements your siding, doors, and windows, but also fits Colorado’s unique beauty and weather. If you’re planning an upgrade this season, these insights can help you land on a shade that feels right for your home, and for you.
Warmer Neutrals Are Taking Over
After years of cool grays dominating the market, 2025 is officially the year of the warm neutral. Colors like creamy whites, sandy beiges, and soft taupes are making homes feel more grounded and inviting.
According to Family Handyman, colors like “Swiss Coffee” and “Revere Pewter” are trending because they create a cozy, timeless backdrop for both modern and traditional homes. Shades like “Rosemary” or “Vine Leaf” offer a sophisticated update without overpowering the look. These hues are complemented by vinyl and wood, making them especially appealing for homes set against Colorado’s natural landscapes.
Nature-Inspired Greens and Blues
Welcoming exterior colors are a majorly on-trend for 2025, and natural colors are leading the way. Homes & Gardens highlights that green is one of the most inviting choices for a front door this year. Designers explain that green feels calming and restorative, and can create a fresh, grounded feeling that sets a positive tone for the rest of your home. Pale sky blues are another standout choice for a front entryway — soft blue doors bring a sense of openness and tranquility, much like the feeling of seeing the ocean or an open sky.
Choosing a green or blue door lets you tap into the natural beauty of the outdoors while giving your home a cheerful and timeless first impression.
Soft, Tailored Curtain Styles Are In
Color isn’t the only way homeowners are updating their spaces in 2025 — curtain styles are also playing a big role in creating welcoming, polished interiors. According to Martha Stewart, trends are leaning toward softer, tailored window treatments that help anchor a room while adding subtle texture and color.
Options like sheer linen panels bring a light and airy feel to living spaces, while pleated curtains, including pinch-pleat and Euro-pleat designs, offer a more structured and elegant look. These styles allow homeowners to add visual height, warmth, and softness without overwhelming the space. Ripple-fold curtains are another favorite for modern homes, offering a clean, contemporary flow that still feels inviting.
The right window treatments help frame natural light, enhance a home’s connection to its outdoor surroundings, and complete the overall color story. They tie in beautifully with this year’s move toward earthy, harmonious exterior and interior palettes.
Invisible Design: How Finishes and Textures Matter
Beyond color, the finishes and textures you choose can have just as much impact. Matte finishes, natural woodgrain siding, and mixed materials like fiber cement are trending in 2025. They bring a tactile quality that makes homes feel lived-in and welcoming.
According to ArchDaily, the principles of biophilic design — like texture variation and natural patterning — enhance a home’s sense of comfort and well-being, even without overt plant elements. Exterior color and texture choices can mimic natural cycles and bring a calming sense of balance to your home design.
How to Pick the Right Shade for Your Home
Choosing an exterior color can feel overwhelming, but there are a few easy ways to narrow it down:
- Consider your surroundings: Think about your landscaping, nearby homes, and the natural environment.
- Work with your materials: Siding types have undertones that certain paint colors can complement beautifully.
- Factor in lighting: Colorado’s bright sun can make colors look lighter outdoors than on a sample card.
- Think about longevity: Trends are cool, but picking a color you genuinely love will always stand the test of time.
