Hey everyone! Kayla Klinge here, reporting live from New York City!
For this week’s Trendy Tuesday, I wanted to touch on an interior design trend. The paint manufacturer Benjamin Moore has announced Cinnamon Slate as its 2025 Color of the Year.
Cinnamon Slate is “a delicate mix of heathered plum and velvety brown,” which is both relaxed and elegant. I’m not shocked that the 2025 color of the year has a brown tone because we are seeing SO much brown in fashion these days. I personally have been drawn to more brown clothing over my go-to black attire!
I also never used to be a big fan of purple, but it’s been growing on me the past year. I have a toiletry bag that’s a Cinnamon Slate-like color and I’ve used it for SO many trips, I need to ask for a new one for Christmas!
If it were my home, I would use Cinnamon Slate in a living room or cozy den. It’s a more dramatic/moody color, so I don’t think I would want it all over my home. But I think in one room, it would make a statement!
“Cinnamon Slate?” Oh,.. plum. 😉
Was the fire close to you?
We WERE the fire. Friends and neighbors 1/2 mile away lost all. We were evacuated for almost two days. Personally, small wind damage only. My SiL lost the three houses closest to her. Moderate exterior damage. Awesome firefighters.
