Using our Colour of the Year 2025, Crocky Road, in a Neutral Colour Scheme

When designing a space for children, the right colour scheme can make all the difference.

We’re thrilled to showcase our Colour of the Year 2025, Crocky Road, a warm beige with subtle heritage roots.

This rich hue is the perfect anchor in a neutral palette, creating a soft, inviting environment that’s both stylish and adaptable as your little ones grow.

Why Crocky Road is Perfect for a Neutral Scheme?

Crocky Road embodies warmth and nostalgia, seamlessly blending contemporary style with classic touches.

Its heritage undertones of yellow and green allow for versatile applications, making it an ideal foundation for a neutral colour scheme.

Crocky Road, along with our two other stunning hues Straw and Marbles harmonises beautifully to evoke a feeling of cosiness that resonates with both children and adults.

A Harmonious Layered Palette

Crocky Road, Straw, and Marbles combined, form a stunning colour scheme that radiates warmth and encourages creativity.

Consider incorporating panelling up to picture rail height—not only does it add visual appeal, but when painted in our durable Eggshell No. 17, it’s also washable and perfect for the wear and tear of little ones!

Using Marbles for the larger area of your walls creates an airy, open ambience with its vintage white lace colouring.

Painting the upper portion of the wall in our soft, warm neutral Straw enhances the overall brightness of the space.

To playfully tie all three neutrals together, consider adding large circles of Crocky Road across both the panelling and wall.

This whimsical detail not only brings joy but also connects and balances all the colours, fostering a cohesive and engaging environment.

Creating Playful Yet Practical Spaces

One of the many benefits of utilising neutrals, especially in a space designed for little ones, is the enduring quality of such a scheme.

Children grow and change, and so do their interests.

The gentle warmth of Crocky Road, combined with the playful nature of the painted circles, allows for a scheme that evolves with your child, adapting effortlessly as they transition from babies and toddlers to adventurous little explorers!

This layered palette remains a visually appealing backdrop that will support a multitude of activities, from quiet reading sessions to imaginative play.
