Door And Window Colour Trends For 2025
Discover which colours will be dominating the year ahead.
While colour schemes and themes are a personal style choice for any home, at NMJ, we like to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to colour trends for the year ahead. In 2025, we’re seeing colour trends for doors and windows that include big, bold individuality and timeless, understated sophistication. So whether you’re revamping a period property or modernising a contemporary home, here’s our pick of the latest colour trends to inspire your project.
Door colour trends for 2025
Though one of the smallest features, the entrance door to your home is often the focal point and your first opportunity to make a real colour statement. In 2025, the trend for timber doors is all about expressing your personality while staying consistent with your home’s natural surroundings and materials. Here are the standout colours:
Earth tones
Connecting with nature is a key theme in home design this year. Rich, earthy tones, such as terracotta, clay, burgundies, taupe and other grey-brown shades, and muted greens are all high on the list. These colours give out warm vibes but also work well with traditional brickwork or stone finishes, making them an excellent choice for both period and contemporary homes.


Dramatic darks
Black and deep charcoal doors have been popular for a few years and probably always will be. But in 2025, similar to last year, the trend continues toward softer variations. Rich, dark midnight blues and deep forest greens are getting popular, offering an extravagant finish. These dramatic colours really highlight the elegance of a bespoke wooden door with natural grain detailing.



Soft pastels
With Pantone’s Colour Of The Year being Mocha Mousse, expect to see more muted, soft pastels making their way into the spotlight as an elegant option for front doors. Alongside the soft tones on either side of Mocha Mousse, calm and contemporary colours like dusty pinks, soft greens, light blues, and pale greys will add personality without overwhelm.




Window colour trends for 2025
Timber windows not only bring plenty of natural light into your home, but they also frame your view as you look out. And while they can also improve your home’s curb appeal, this year’s window colour trends pair well with this year’s door colour trends, balancing natural, neutral, and contrasting colours. Let’s see what you should look out for:
Neutral tones
Many of the earth tones featured in the door trend colours are proving to be just as popular for windows. Warm greys, earthy browns (chestnut or chocolate), sandy creams, soft blues, or muted greens can give your timber windows a timeless finish with a warm and tranquil feel that works well in any home.




Contrasting colours
If you want a finish that helps your windows stand out, bold, contrasting colours and accents can be a great way to do it. Dark frame colours, such as deep blues or greens and dark greys, against lighter walls, create a dramatic effect. Alternatively, brighter frame colours with darker walls give a crisp, classic look that works well with period property homes.

Natural finishes
Natural wood finishes highlight the individual grains and unique features of every type of timber window. Clear varnishes or lightly stained finishes let the wood’s natural beauty shine through, complementing both traditional and modern homes with a rich, warm finish. The natural look is always popular and suits homeowners who want to show off their frames.
Handcrafted doors and windows of distinction
The door and window colour trends for 2025 balance bold individuality and timeless sophistication. From earthy tones and dramatic darks to soft pastels, door colours can make a statement that reflects both your personality and your home’s natural surroundings. But window colours are bringing warm neutrals, contrast, and natural finishes that can lift both interior and exterior finishes.
Whether your taste and style lean towards contemporary chic or classic elegance, these colour trends for 2025 can offer the inspiration you need to boost your home’s charm and character this year.
