Warm neutrals are set to continue taking centre stage in 2025, with Benjamin Moore announcing Cinnamon Slate as their color of the year – a beautiful, heathery, plum based brown. Richer, warmer neutrals are the perfect backdrop for creating cosy spaces that make us feel good. There’s no stark whites or cool neutrals in sight here. The beauty of these warm neutrals that I’ve rounded up is that they work well in both north and south facing aspect rooms. Here you’ll find 15 of the most on-trend neutrals for every room to help kickstart your decorating plans in 2025!

Typically a north aspect room receives very little light during the course of the day, and any light it does receive is typically blue in color. This is the number one reason why a bright white paint will NOT make your room feel lighter, it actually has the reverse effect as there is no warm light to bounce around the room. I have rounded up the best Benjamin Moore paint colors for north facing rooms, along with the different ways you can tackle the space and choose the right color to suit your needs for the room.

Whilst any colour generally works in a south facing room in practice, very bright colours can feel even more intense and hot on days when there is a lot of light and warmth coming into the room. A prime example of this is a bright white which can feel clinical and harsh on sunny days, and it’s best to be avoided completely! If you’re ready to tackle your south facing room and are looking for some paint inspiration that will balance with the intensity and warmth of the room, I’ve pulled together 15 of the best Benjamin Moore paint colours to get started with.
