Refreshing your home doesn’t always mean a full renovation. Sometimes, the right paint colours, smooth plaster finishes, and expert help from professional painters in New Zealand can completely change the way your space looks and feels.

At RE Decorators, we’ve been helping Wellington homeowners reimagine their interiors and exteriors with high-quality painting and plastering services. If you’re looking to give your property a fresh start in 2025, here are the biggest home decor and painting trends worth considering.

1. Earthy & Nature-Inspired Colours

One of the strongest trends for 2025 is a move toward natural, earthy tones warm terracotta, olive green, and soft neutrals. These shades bring calm and connect your home to Wellington’s natural surroundings. Our interior painting service ensures these colours are applied with precision, whether you’re adding a bold accent wall in your living room or repainting your entire home.

2. Statement Ceilings

This year, ceilings are no longer an afterthought they’re becoming design features in their own right. Bold colours, plaster textures, and even creative finishes are turning “the fifth wall” into a statement.

For this trend, a flawless base is key. Our plastering and skimming service ensures ceilings are smooth, crack-free, and ready for any design choice.

3. Sustainable & Long-Lasting Paints

Eco-friendly paints are on the rise in 2025. More homeowners are choosing low-VOC and durable products that protect health while lasting longer.

At RE Decorators, we carefully select products for our exterior painting projects that can handle Wellington’s unique weather conditions such as rain, sun, and coastal air without fading or peeling.

4. Minimalist but Warm Interiors

Minimalism continues to inspire modern homes, but 2025’s version leans warmer. Instead of cold whites, homeowners are turning to soft creams, light beiges, and textures that create a cozy but clean atmosphere.

Smooth, seamless walls are essential for this look. Our gib stopping and level 5 skimming create gallery-like finishes where paint looks sharp, crisp, and contemporary.

5. Reviving Character Homes with Paint Stripping

Wellington is full of charming older homes hiding original features beneath layers of old paint. In 2025, more homeowners are choosing to restore rather than replace.

With our paint stripping service, we carefully uncover the original surfaces, allowing you to either preserve natural materials or prepare them for a fresh new coat.

6. Roof Painting for a Complete Refresh

Your home’s roof is a big part of its curb appeal—and in 2025, roof painting is becoming a popular way to give properties a complete refresh.

Our roof painting service not only enhances appearance but also protects your roof against Wellington’s tough weather conditions, extending its lifespan while boosting overall property value.
