When it comes to interior design, color is one of the most powerful elements to transform a space. According to AD Italia, summer 2025 introduces a palette rich in warm, sophisticated, and natural tones that reflect the desire for balance, elegance, and well-being.
In our projects, color becomes a true narrative tool: from earthy shades to fresh seaside tones, to the boldest contrasts. Here are five colors set to define the upcoming season and some ideas on how to use them in your projects, enhancing surfaces and small-size ceramic tiles.
1. Lime green and turquoise: energy and freshness for bright interiors
Vibrant and lively, lime green brings the energy of summer. When paired with turquoise, it evokes tropical, refreshing atmospheres—perfect for modern, light-filled spaces. It’s no longer just about Scandinavian sage green; acidic and dynamic tones now take the lead, ideal for adding personality to kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. If you’re not ready to commit to full walls, use these shades in small-size tiles or as accents in niches and decorative details.
2. Campari red and terracotta: mediterranean warmth in contemporary spaces
Campari red and terracotta shades recall the warm, vibrant sunsets of Andalusia and the sunlit streets of central Italy. These enveloping, intense colors create a convivial and sophisticated atmosphere. Perfect for those who want to express energy through design, they work beautifully in kitchens, commercial spaces, and decorative wall or floor details. Combined with natural materials like wood and stone, they bring timeless Mediterranean character to interiors.
3. Chocolate and klein blue: depth and sophisticated contrasts
The summer 2025 color trends don’t rule out darker tones. Chocolate, warm and enveloping, and Klein blue, intense and deep, are perfect for creating elegant contrasts and sophisticated atmospheres. In ceramic tiles, these shades take on a stronger presence: brown recalls earth and nature, while blue adds a contemporary, artistic touch. Playing with geometric layouts or glossy and matte finishes allows you to design exclusive and refined bathrooms and living spaces.
4. Ochre and butter yellow: optimism and light for welcoming interiors
Ochre and butter yellow embody positivity and light. Ideal for kitchens and social areas, these hues bring warmth and immediate well-being. The more intense ochre is perfect for bold flooring and wall tiles, while butter yellow, soft and delicate, is great for brightening compact interiors without compromising on style. Used in decorative patterns or as accent walls, these shades infuse contemporary interiors with vitality.
5. Blush pink and antique rose: soft elegance and timeless harmony
Blush pink and antique rose remain among the most popular colors for 2025. Sophisticated yet subtle, they suit a wide variety of styles, from classic to modern. Perfect for bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as commercial spaces aiming to convey calm and refinement. In small-size ceramic tiles, these hues create delicate, harmonious surfaces—especially when paired with cream and light brown shades—for a warm, timeless design.
