With the current pattern tendency moving away from nerveless neutrals and towards warm tones , Banbury says Khaki is a color to embrace in 2025 . “ consumer are seek comfort and restraint in the home base and are looking to achromatic backdrops rather than decor and furniture to create that touch sensation , " she says . For this rationality , she expectskhaki shades like Stuccoto be democratic in the coming yr .

Banbury agree , put up shades of yellow as an alternative to shining Stanford White . Butter yellowwas a bigtrend in the springand summer , and Banbury suggests it has staying power as we begin to look ahead to warm months in 2025 .
