s the days grow longer and the promise of warmer weather lingers in the air, there’s no better time to
refresh your living space. A simple splash of paint can
completely transform a room, breathing new life into tired walls. Flora Hogg, interior designer and colour consultant at paint company Craig & Rose, shares the four must- have shades for spring and summer 2025, guaranteed to invigorate your home with style and sophistication.
Moorish Yellow Nothing lifts a room quite like yellow, and this season’s take is a soft, buttery hue that radiates understated elegance. “Its amber undertones bring a welcoming glow, filling your space with both joy and a sense of calm,” says Flora. Pair it with stainless steel for a sleek, modern look or contrast with deep brown for a bold, contemporary statement. Whether it’s a cosy reading nook or a vibrant living area, Moorish Yellow delivers both timeless warmth and creativity.
