As an interior design firm, we’re (obviously) always excited to see what color trends are bubbling up for the new year. Benjamin Moore announced their Color of the Year as Cinnamon Slate, and the Sherwin-Williams 2025 Colormix Forecast does not disappoint! Their latest collection of the top 48 trend-forward colors is full of fresh, vibrant hues to inspire you.

There are four distinct color palettes in the Colormix Forecast. Here’s a closer look at the Sherwin Williams 2025 colors!

Sherwin-Williams 2025 Colors – Chrysalis Capsule

Full of peaceful colors, the Chrysalis Capsule is “inspired by wood tones and freshly turned earth.” We asked our interior design team to choose their favorite palettes from the Sherwin Williams 2025 color collection. Out of the four options, three of our designers chose Chrysalis as their top pick. They loved its warm tones and calming mix of colors.

Sherwin-Williams 2025 Colors – Wellspring Capsule

Filled with warm neutrals that you would find in nature, the Wellspring collection is meant to “nurture and nourish” through color. It was another favorite among our design team for its neutral base, which still offers bold accents for those who enjoy experimenting with color while preferring a more muted environment.

Sherwin-Williams 2025 Colors – Kindred Capsule

A well rounded combination, the Kindred Capsule invites you to “embrace abundance with traditional neutrals and electric brights.” The Kindred collection stood out as a top choice for our owner and principal designer, Julia Kirkendall. She highlighted how the colors are comforting and envisions it used in spaces that promote rest and renewal.

Our Interior Design Team’s Top Picks from Sherwin-Williams’ 2025 Colors

Here are Kirkendall Design’s favorite color selections from the Sherwin-Williams’ 2025 Colormix Forecast!

Julia’s Favorite Colors

Which color trend palette is your favorite?
My favorite is Kindred because it represents colors that are nesting and comforting, which is what we lean to when there is any unrest around us. Also, with the election year and wars in the world I think people are looking for their sanctuary at home that can help refresh, renew, and restore them.

What is your favorite color(s) out of all of the palettes?
My favorite color is Thunderous, but the Dark Night is such a good option for connecting color pallets in your home and giving them fresh looks.

Jayne’s Favorite Colors

Which color trend palette is your favorite?
Wellspring-because it has a great neutral palette, but also offers some bold choices for those who dare to experiment but thrive in neutral environments.

What is your favorite color in the Chrysalis collection?
Studio Clay! It’s a great neutral but the undertones of gray/green give you some color where you might not want to stick with a beige, or greige.

How do you envision that color being used in a client’s home or commercial project?
I think Studio Clay could be used in a variety of situations. Bedroom, study, bathroom walls. Cabinets in laundry or study or even a bathroom.

Lauren’s Favorite Colors

Which color trend palette is your favorite?
I would choose Chrysalis. I’m enjoying that warmer color tones are trending and I think this is a nice collection that anyone could incorporate into their home.

What is your favorite color in the Paradox collection? Cascades!

How do you envision that color being used in a client’s home or commercial project?
In a home I think that the dark green color could be used on a piece of furniture, a bathroom vanity, maybe even as an accent in a kitchen.  I would also love to see it on a front door.  

Debbie’s Favorite Colors

Which color trend palette is your favorite?
I would say overall I like Chrysalis for open areas or field colors.

What is your favorite color in the Paradox collection? Dark Night!

How do you envision that color being used in a client’s home or commercial project?
I like the overall moodiness it can bring in a more concealed space.  I would use it on an accent wall in an office or a piece of furniture.  It would also be good in a powder bath with gold accents.

Lindsay’s Favorite Colors

Which color trend palette is your favorite?
Chrysalis – I am a neutral girl through and through and I like the range of browns and tans here, plus there is a light toned mauve/lilac that is pretty as well. Thunderous can lean a little on the green side which I think goes well with all the other neutrals. Overall, it’s a color scheme that really brings the outdoors in, which I love. That, to me, is calming and authentic! 

What is your favorite color in the Wellspring collection?
Gallery Green is my favorite in that collection!

How do you envision that color being used in a client’s home or commercial project?
I would envision Gallery Green as a laundry room or mudroom cabinet color. Or possibly a powder bath color!

Modern Ranch Reveal

Posted on

We’ve been teasing photos of this home for more than a year and now it’s finally time to share this project in its entirety! It’s always fun to reveal a whole house because you get to see the end result as it’s always been imagined and intended by our team.
This particular project originated when our longtime clients came to us with the idea to build a weekend home. Already owners of vacation homes in Florida and Wyoming, they purchased approximately 90 acres just north of downtown with the intent to build a ranch home to entertain family closer to their primary Tulsa residence.
After a couple of months weekending at the new house, they love it so much they have decided to make it their permanent Tulsa residence and sell their home in the city. As a designer I don’t know if there is any greater compliment. Let’s take a look!

Main Living
How a client will use a space dictates our design of it. The number one purpose of this home: hosting family. So, we designed it to do just that! From the fireplace to the kitchen, we designed the home with gathering in mind.
The house is about 4,000 square-feet and every room is large, so the furniture needed to match that scale. It also needed to accommodate plenty of people, which is why you will find so many seating opportunities throughout the open-concept kitchen, living and dining areas.
Our client is a “black-and-white” girl, but in this home she wanted to bring in color to evoke happiness and create a cheerful environment. We found a one-of-a-kind rug at market, which set our design in motion. From there, we chose the sofas and introduced subtle colors and patterns throughout the home that would play off each other. Of course, we kept the background neutral to keep that familiar black-and-white element and to let the colors shine.
The living room’s soaring ceiling features reclaimed wood beams from Timber and Beam, and is adorned with a massive 66-inch-wide Ralph Lauren chandelier. We flanked the black granite slab fireplace with two large sofas and club chairs. You’ll have to look closely to find the TV in this room– we specifically chose the black granite as a way to disguise it above the fireplace.
Coffee Bar
A coffee bar between the living area and kitchen offers an intimate space to gather with four swivel chairs that allow views into both rooms as well as the outdoors. This home may be for large groups of people, but we wanted to create intimate moments too. Any time you can gather chairs together into two to four directly across from each other you tend to have more direct conversation. It’s a great little spot to have a cup of coffee and read the paper or your iPad while enjoying the amazing scenery outside.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, she wanted views out of both sides of the home. The kitchen sink faces the front of the property while the dining area overlooks the back of the home and the pond. The large dining table offers seating for the entire family with a built-in bench seat for grandkids on one side and chairs for adults on the other.
   
To break up the large space, we chose San Benedicto leathered granite for the perimeter countertops and a durable Bianco Statuario Quartz for the island, which features even more seating opportunities. As the workhorse of the kitchen, and the home, the island is lit with Hudson Valley pendants and painted Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black. The rest of the cabinetry is painted Simply White while a barn door painted Benjamin Moore’s Courtland Blue hides the generous pantry.
The homeowner had beautiful heirloom dishes, so we lit the cabinet shelves and carefully lined up the collection so that each piece would be visible between the cabinetry mullions. We never want our clients to walk into a home that feels like it’s out of a magazine. We always want them to walk into a home that feels like it’s their personal signature. Creating moments like this is what our design is all about.
Choosing high-performing yet attractive materials was imperative. The light wood flooring is actually engineered wood, which makes it really durable for all the in-and-out traffic as well as the family’s large dogs. The dining bench seat is a “pleather” so it’s easy to wipe up spills.

Primary Suite
As with all my designs, the primary suite is meant to be a restful retreat for the homeowners. The oversized room features a stunning four-poster bed at one end, while the opposite end offers a seating area where the couple can relax and watch TV away from the main living area.
The home may be in the country, but we had to include all the modern amenities for comfort such as the remote controlled shades and black out curtains. Imagine waking up, pressing a button and seeing llamas and horses outside—such a dream!
The owners’ bath is spa-like with a large soaking tub, walk in shower and double vanities. We kept the colors muted in here and let the tile design take center stage.
The floor is the star of the show with a stone hexagon pattern and Carrara subway border.  A linen closet with antique mirrored fronts adds a touch of glamour and hides necessities.

Guest Suites
The owners have three granddaughters and one grandson, so we planned the guest rooms accordingly. The larger bedroom became the girls’ “bunk room” and the smaller was dedicated to the boy.
We had so much fun designing the girls’ quarters. Four custom made beds line the walls between individual window seats at each dormer window. It’s a precious room that reminds me of the story Madeline where they’re all lined up in their beds.
We chose a rosy pink as the predominant color. From the Pinecone Hill bedding to the custom pink sconce shades, everything is soft and subtle, but still very colorful and cheery like the client wanted. The carpet is neutral with a window pane pattern that really helps it stand out. The patterns all play so well off each other.
A barn door painted in Benjamin Moore’s Eraser Pink opens to reveal a secret hideout with a sectional and TV. For now, the girls use it to play and watch movies, but it is large enough to accommodate air mattresses for even more guests.
In the girls’ bathroom, we did the opposite of the primary bath. While the floor is black and white, we added color all over the walls with Caitlin Wilson’s ultra-cheerful Penelope wallpaper.
The same soft pink of the bedroom is repeated in the tile for the “princess bath” shower/tub combo. Instead of one glass partition we used two shower doors atop the tub so you can open both when bathing and not feel totally enclosed.
The grandson’s bedroom has a distinctly masculine tone. It’s arguably the most neutral room in the house with black, white, grey and taupe comprising the color palette. A wooden chandelier hints at a rustic element, while the oval metal nightstands add an industrial feel. The showstopper of the room, however, is the bed, which features fabric stretched over a wood and pipe frame.
The en suite bath echoes the neutral theme with grey being the predominant color. While it may be monochromatic, we still managed to add visual interest with a mosaic penny tile on the shower floor as well as a vertical accent stripe on the shower wall.

Outdoor Living
Cedar posts, pine ceilings, batten board siding, black frame windows and metal roofing give the exterior of the home a farmhouse feel, but with a level of classic sophistication.
The wrap-around porch is meant for about five different opportunities for outdoor gathering. There’s a fire pit seating area overlooking the pond, a cozy daybed swing for afternoon naps, a huge outdoor fireplace for chilly nights under the stars, a dining and grilling area, and the lounge area just off the primary suite. We even hung some swings from the cedar beams on the porch for the grandkids.
One detail I love is the brickwork on the porch floor, which is laid in a herringbone pattern. We paid close attention to details and worked with the brick layers to make sure that whatever direction you’re walking is the direction the herringbone pattern is laid. Many people don’t know that is the way you’re supposed to install it—almost like a little road map.
This is one home and property that will be explored and loved for many years to come. We are so grateful we were able to help bring it to life—and share it with you!
