2025 colour trends: Pantone, Thursd, and SecondFlor
Pantone Mocha Mousse: organic elegance
After an era dominated by bold tones like terracotta, Mocha Mousse reconnects us with earthy hues and the comfort of raw materials. In other words, Pantone’s Mocha Mousse reflects a return to essentials. This soft brown integrates seamlessly into floral arrangements—think coffee-coloured roses and caramel dahlias—and into interior decor with raw wood furniture and natural textiles.
Thursd’s 2025 colour of the year: Amethyst Glow – the revival of purple
Thursd drew inspiration from the aurora borealis to select their 2025 trending colour: Amethyst Glow. This shade is a deep, mystical, and vibrant purple, responding to the growing demand for sophisticated and bold hues. In floriculture, this colour naturally appears in hydrangeas and irises. Thanks to preservation techniques, you can now access even more varieties in this tone.
SecondFlor’s pick: Lime Cream
This luminous and soothing pastel green finds its place in interior design and bouquets, particularly with preserved elements like ferns. Lime Cream also makes its mark in modern spaces with vertical gardens and soft textiles. This choice reflects SecondFlor’s commitment to positioning nature as a sustainable decorative element.

From interior design to floristry…
Maximalism: a bold comeback after minimalism
Maximalism is gaining popularity after years of minimalism. Spaces are now filled with floral patterns, eclectic accessories, and vintage furniture. This style invites the pairing of preserved flowers with materials like metal or wood. In floristry, this translates to exuberant bouquets mixing textures, sizes, and colours.
Soft Blues and Greens for a Calming Interior
Living spaces and bedrooms are already embracing sky blues, sage greens, olive greens, and other subtle green shades. These soothing tones, a staple of interior design, are also making their way into weddings and spring floral arrangements. Associated with nature and elegance, these soft hues pair perfectly with preserved plants, offering durable solutions for harmonious decor.
Spotlight on apricot, the gentle hue of 2025
Apricot, with its warm and delicate tones, emerges as a standout colour in interior design—and this trend is spreading to weddings and preserved florals. Evoking softness and romance, this subtle shade is perfect for creating welcoming, light-filled spaces. Ideal for centrepieces, bouquets, or wall arrangements, apricot brings a touch of modernity while remaining timeless. Inspired by interior palettes, this colour captivates with its elegance and ability to soften any decor.
The Unexpected Red Theory
The Unexpected Red Theory is an aesthetic and psychological approach highlighting the impact of a sudden red accent introduced in a space or composition. This idea is based on several principles:
- The Surprise Effect: Red, as a bold and vivid colour, instantly draws attention when used sporadically in an otherwise neutral setting. This contrast creates a focal point.
- The Universal Symbolism of Red: Associated with intense emotions like love, passion, or even danger, red elicits strong emotional responses. Its unexpected inclusion makes a lasting impression.
In decor, fashion, or design, integrating a single unexpected red element into a neutral palette adds originality and boldness. Apply this theory in floristry by adding one red flower to an otherwise neutral bouquet. The result? A guaranteed WOW factor.
A year of bold and inspired colours
2025 celebrates a dynamic fusion of inspirations, where fashion, decor, and floral artistry converge to shape vibrant trends. From cherry coded’s passionate reds to Ice Cream’s delicate pastels, each palette offers fresh ways to incorporate floral art into daily life. Preserved flowers, champions of sustainability, play a central role in these evolutions. Whether you’re a florist, decorator, or trend enthusiast, this year is perfect for exploring the endless possibilities of bold floral colours. 🌸
