Embrace Fall 2025 with Trendy Home Colors: Insights from Magnolia Homes and Sherwin-Williams

Share

Fall 2025 is knocking, and there’s no better way to welcome it than with a fresh coat of paint that screams cozy vibes. As part of MGP Painting, serving Rockland, Westchester, and Bergen County, I’ve seen homeowners in places like Nyack and Allendale transform their spaces with colors that feel like a warm sweater on a crisp autumn day. 

This season, Sherwin-Williams and Magnolia Homes are leading the charge with palettes that make your home feel inviting and oh-so-stylish. Let's get comfy and take a look at what neutral colors are, how they sparkle in fall, and the best tips for using them in your home. Just imagine it- you, your pumpkin spice latte, and a freshly painted room full of fall magic.

Why Fall 2025 Is All About Cozy Colors

Fall is the season of gathering, and your home should feel like the perfect backdrop for family dinners or quiet nights by the fire. Sherwin-Williams’ 2025 palette leans into earthy, grounding tones, while Magnolia Homes (thanks, Joanna Gaines!) adds that farmhouse charm we all crave. 

Not long ago, I assisted a client in Suffern in re-painting her living room with a fall shade, and she said it makes her feel like her home is hugging her. The colors she chose, also inspired by fall, are something you can choose in Westchester and/or Bergen County, utilizing on-trend colors that are also timeless.

What Are Neutral Colors and Why Do They Rule Fall?

So, what are neutral colors? They’re the unsung heroes of paint—shades like gray, beige, taupe, and the ever-popular greige (more on that in a sec). Think tones that don’t scream for attention but make everything else in your room pop, from your velvet throw pillows to your oak dining table. These colors are fall’s MVPs because they mimic the season’s natural hues—think fallen leaves, soft fog, or warm cocoa.

What is greige? It’s that dreamy blend of gray and beige that’s like a cozy blanket in paint form. Sherwin-Williams’ Agreeable Gray is a greige superstar, perfect for fall because it’s warm without being heavy. I painted a client’s entryway in New City with it, and she said guests kept commenting on how inviting it felt. If you’re looking for professional painting help in Rockland or Westchester, our Rockland County painting services can make your space feel just as welcoming.

Neutrals like greige are versatile, making them ideal for any room, from a bustling Ardsley kitchen to a serene Allendale bedroom.

Pairing Neutrals Like a Pro

One of the best things about neutrals? They play well with others. If you’re wondering, what color goes with gray? You’ve got options! Gray loves crisp whites for a clean, modern look—try Sherwin-Williams’ Pure White for trim or accents. 

Want something bolder? Pair gray with a deep navy or even a rusty orange for that fall flair. In a Westchester dining room we painted last month, we used a soft gray with navy curtains, and it was like the room came alive. If you’re in Westchester County and need help pulling off this look, our Westchester County commercial painting services are here for you.

How about what color goes with cream? Cream is a warm neutral that’s perfect for fall’s cozy vibe. Pair it with greige for a soft, layered look or add a touch of sage green for a nod to autumn foliage. A client in Nyack used Sherwin-Williams’ Alabaster (a creamy white) with greige accents in her living room, and it felt like a farmhouse dream straight out of a Magnolia Homes magazine.

How to Bring Fall Colors into Your Home

Ready to embrace these fall 2025 colors? Here’s how to make them work in your space:

• - Living Rooms: Go for greige walls with cream or white trim to create a warm, inviting hub. Add fall accents like burnt orange pillows or a plaid throw.

• - Bedrooms: Use a soft gray for a calming retreat. Sherwin-Williams’ Repose Gray is a favorite for its soothing vibe, perfect for cozy fall nights.

• - Entryways: Make a statement with a neutral like Alabaster. It’s bright enough to welcome guests but warm enough for fall.

• - Accents: Don’t shy away from mixing neutrals. Paint an accent wall in Agreeable Gray and pair it with cream furniture for a balanced look.

Pro tip: Test paint samples on your walls first. Fall light in Rockland County can be softer, so check how colors look morning and evening. Not sure where to start? We at MGP Painting offer free color consults to homeowners in Westchester and Bergen County—let’s find your perfect fall shade!

Magnolia Homes, with its farmhouse-inspired palette, complements Sherwin-Williams by offering shades that feel lived-in and loved. Together, they’re like the apple pie and ice cream of the paint world—perfectly paired.

Last fall, we painted a Bergen County home in Sherwin-Williams’ Agreeable Gray and the homeowner raved about how great it went with her Magnolia decor.
