Looking to refresh your space this year? A new coat of paint might be all it takes to breathe life into your home. Whether you’re prepping your house for sale, renovating your forever home, or just feeling ready for a change, 2025’s interior paint trends offer something for everyone, especially here in Cape Town, where our light, climate, and lifestyle inspire fresh, local flavour.
At Handyman Homes, we’ve rounded up the top paint colour trends that are dominating design magazines, Pinterest boards, and stylish homes across the Mother City. Read on for inspiration and practical tips from our expert painters.
Goodbye cold greys—hello warm, cozy tones. From rich beige to mushroom taupe, soft neutrals with earthy undertones are back in a big way.
Why Cape Town loves it: These shades complement local natural textures like wood, stone, and woven decor. They reflect light beautifully on overcast days while staying cool under the summer sun.
Top Picks: Dulux Egyptian Cotton, Plascon Stonewashed
Inspired by coastal living, shades of soft teal, seafoam, and dusty navy are making waves in 2025.
Perfect for: Bathrooms, bedrooms, and beach homes.
Top Picks: Dulux Tranquil Dawn, Plascon True Blue
With indoor plants continuing to thrive in modern homes, green walls are a natural next step. Olive, sage, and eucalyptus shades bring serenity and balance.
Pro Tip: Use green in kitchens and home offices for a grounded, creative feel.
Top Picks: Plascon Garden Path, Dulux Olive Grove
Crisp white is evolving into softer, more organic off-whites that feel warm rather than sterile.
Use in: Open-plan living areas, studios, and north-facing rooms to maximize light.
Top Picks: Dulux Natural Calico, Plascon Morning Mist
Not for the faint-hearted, charcoal greys, inky blues, and even black are being used to dramatic effect—especially on feature walls or in formal spaces.
Cape Town Tip: Use in rooms with lots of light and balance with pale floors or trims.
Top Picks: Dulux Night Jewels, Plascon Black Bean
Warm, desert-inspired hues like burnt orange, rust, and ochre are trending globally—and fit right into our African context.
Use in: Dining rooms, entrance halls, or feature fireplaces.
Top Picks: Plascon Sahara, Dulux Spiced Honey
Whether it’s a quick touch-up or a full interior refresh, we bring expert technique, quality materials, and a reliable team to every job.
