Color Trends for Wisconsin Kitchens and Baths
Inspired by Sherwin-Williams 2025 Capsule
When it comes to remodeling, color is more than a finishing touch, it sets the tone for how your kitchen or bath feels every day. As a trusted partner of Sherwin-Williams, we’re is excited to highlight the 2025 Color Capsule of the Year, a curated palette that blends timeless comfort with modern vibrancy. This collection isn’t just about what’s trending, it’s about creating spaces that feel both stylish and livable.
For Wisconsin homeowners, these shades are especially impactful. Long winters call for colors that bring warmth and light indoors, while summers invite airy neutrals and fresh accents that echo the natural beauty of lakes, forests, and prairies. Whether you’re drawn to earthy tones that ground a space, crisp whites that maximize natural light, or bold pops of color that energize a room, Sherwin-Williams has curated a palette of standout shades in their 2025 Color Capsule.
From earthy browns and airy neutrals to bold accents and dramatic tones, each color offers a unique way to shape the mood of your kitchen or bath. Let’s explore how these hues can inspire Wisconsin homeowners to create spaces that feel both timeless and fresh.
Grounded Comfort
Grounded (SW 6089): A rich, earthen brown that brings stability and warmth. In Wisconsin kitchens, this shade pairs beautifully with natural wood cabinetry or stone countertops, creating a cozy, grounded atmosphere for family gatherings.
Airy Neutrals
Sunbleached (SW 9585): A light neutral that’s deeper than white but softer than gray. Perfect for bath walls or kitchen islands, it offers a fresh, adaptable backdrop that feels bright even during long winter months.
Malabar (SW 9110): A sandy beige that layers serenity into any space. Ideal for spa-like bathrooms, it complements warm metallic fixtures and natural textures.
White Snow (SW 9541): A pure, brilliant white with high reflectance. Use it for trim, cabinetry, or ceilings to maximize light in Wisconsin’s shorter winter days.
Vibrant Accents
Chartreuse (SW 0073): A lively yellow-green that adds eclectic energy. Try it on a kitchen backsplash or as a bold accent wall to bring tropical brightness indoors.
Bosc Pear (SW 6390): A golden hue that embodies luxe organic tones. This color shines in dining nooks or powder rooms, adding warmth and sophistication.
Mauve Finery (SW 6282): A soft, botanical mauve that feels dreamy and refreshing. Perfect for bath vanities or accent cabinetry, it adds subtle elegance.
Deep & Dramatic
Rain Cloud (SW 9639): A stormy gray-blue that bridges classic and contemporary. It’s striking for kitchen islands or bath feature walls, offering depth without overwhelming.
Clove (SW 9605): Nearly black with entrancing brown undertones. Use sparingly for contrast—on cabinet hardware, accent walls, or built-ins—for a sophisticated finish.
Why These Colors Work for Wisconsin Homes
Wisconsin living means balancing cozy interiors with bright, welcoming spaces. Earth tones like Grounded and Clove echo the natural beauty of lakes and forests, while light neutrals like Sunbleached and White Snow keep rooms feeling open during long winters. Vibrant accents like Chartreuse and Bosc Pear bring joy and personality, perfect for homeowners who want their remodels to feel both timeless and fresh.
