As we look ahead to 2025 design trends, we love that interior designers are recommending bespoke spaces that evoke emotion, connection, and comfort through organic finishes and textures. 2025 will spotlight tactile textures, serene color palettes, and timeless yet contemporary finishes. Organic finishes and modern Rustic styles are leading the charge, bringing a sense of authenticity and warmth to interiors. Here’s what’s trending in paint colors, textures, and finishes for 2025 – all of which can be easily created with Romabio paints and finishes.
Trending Textures: Limewash and Italian Plaster
Textures are taking center stage in 2025. Limewash and Italian Plaster finishes are rising in popularity, offering a sophisticated and artisanal look to walls and ceilings.
- Limewash Paint creates soft, nuanced color variations that feel organic and calming. This natural lime-based paint is perfect for creating depth and warmth in spaces like bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas.
- Italian Plaster (also known as Venetian Plaster) provides a polished, elegant surface with a hint of marble-like texture. Ideal for accent walls or luxurious bathrooms, this premium plaster finish elevates any room with its timeless appeal.
Both finishes are visually stunning and eco-friendly, aligning with the growing focus on sustainability in interior design. And Romabio offers a hybrid option that is categorized as a limewash paint but is troweled on like one of our authentic, lime-based Italian plasters, offering the buttery soft texture of plaster with the affordability of a decorative limewash paint – check out Romabio Venetian Glaze if this sounds like your dream product. DIY designer, Shelley Bates of the Shelley Bates Home blog, used it on an accent wall in her master bedroom and wishes she had used it throughout the room:
The Venetian Glaze gave my walls a plaster-like finish and I couldn’t be happier with it. Some people say it looks like velvet and I have to agree. It’s truly stunning. – Shelley Bates
