Etsy's Color of the Year Will Take Over Home Décor in 2025—See the Delicate Shade Here

As 2024 draws to a close, many brands are already thinking about what trends will define the year ahead. One of those brands is Etsy, an online marketplace for handmade and vintage items, which just announced its 2025 Color of the Year as Lime Cream, a delicate soft green hue.

Etsy describes Lime Cream as a "dreamy, delicate shade that's equal parts calming and uplifting." While it can serve as a pop of color, it's subtle enough to act as a neutral, pairing well with various colors, like other shades of green, warm oranges, soft pinks, and beyond.

"I love delicate green tones in the home and if you’re a confident decorator I embolden you to be particularly bold and brave and pair Lime Cream with a warm orange. The combination of the two shades is spectacularly striking and can look really unique and elevated," says Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy's resident trend expert.

The versatile shade can create a fresh and inviting environment in the home, which may be just what you're searching for in the year ahead. You can incorporate this color as a subtle accent with dinnerware, vases, mugs, or candle holders. If you want to create a larger statement, find a piece of artwork featuring this shade to hang over your couch. No matter how you incorporate it, Lime Cream will add a bright atmosphere to your home.
