Top 2025 Interior Design Trends For Recovering Sad Beige Moms

Published on April 24, 2025 | Category: Home and Lifestyle

It’s time to put the sad beige era behind us. You know the vibe—taupe everything, lifeless linen, and an Instagram feed full of neutral walls and identical beige baskets. While it may have felt calm at first, many parents realize that a home soaked in beige isn’t exactly the warm, joyful environment in which kids (and grownups) thrive. Let’s be real—kids don’t dream in beige. Their imaginations run wild in color, and your home can too.

Make your House Kids Friendly By Adding Colors

Neutrals might look polished on a Pinterest board, but a beige-only home can feel more like a showroom than a lived-in space. Children are naturally drawn to colors—they spark curiosity, creativity, and joy. Studies show that colors stimulate brain development, boost mood, and support emotional expression in young kids.

By embracing color, you’re not just decorating—you’re inviting joy, energy, and personality into your home. You’re creating a place where your kids feel seen, heard, and free to express themselves. And let’s be honest, you might find yourself smiling more too.

Here are some fun and functional ways to give your home a colorful, kid-friendly makeover:

Vibrant Colors And Designs

Incorporate bold colors in rugs, wall art, pillows, and storage bins. Think murals in the playroom, rainbow bookcases, or a bright feature wall in the hallway. Don’t be afraid of a little chaos—kids sure aren’t.

Pinterest Is Your Best Friend

If you are confused or you think you don't have a good sense of interior decor, you don't need to hire someone for that. You can go to Pinterest and search for designs and styles that you like, and that can work best for your space. Incorporating those ideas into your home can help you add colors and still manage to make it look aesthetically pleasing.

Trials And Tests Are The Key To Perfection

Doing something for the first time might not be as perfect as you imagine. To get your ideal results, it's better to try and test before finalizing everything. You can buy paint sample pots and swatch them on the wall to see the color.

Mix And Match Styles

The best thing about coming out of the sad beige era is that you can style your home without making it monochromatic. You can add elements from different styles, like mid-century, boho, and Scandinavian, with color to avoid the flatness of single-tone.

Bring Color Into Everyday Objects

Even the most functional items in your home can be a source of joy. Plates and cups from brands like Re-Play or Liewood come in bold, eco-friendly designs that make mealtime fun and kid-friendly. This makes simple routines like dinner time more fun.

Display Kids’ Art Like It’s the Louvre

Kids’ artwork is more than just scribbles it’s a window into their imagination. Frame their masterpieces and hang them proudly in living rooms, hallways, or even the kitchen. It not only celebrates their creativity but also adds a personal, vibrant touch to your space.

Color doesn’t mean chaos—it means life. It means joy in the ordinary, imagination around every corner, and a home that feels like home, not a magazine page. Neutrals had their moment, but we’re moving into a new era where connection, creativity, and comfort matter more than perfection. When your home is filled with color, it reflects the laughter of your children, the messiness of playtime, the coziness of bedtime stories, and the magic of growing up.

You don’t need to throw out your entire aesthetic—start small. Add a pop of color here, a rainbow rug there, hang up the finger paintings, and swap out a beige throw for something that makes you smile. Trust your instincts. Trust your kids’. They know how to have fun.
