Butter Now, Honey Next: The Yellow Shades Defining 2025 Interiors

While butter yellow is reigning supreme for Summer 2025—soft, creamy, and serotonin-inducing—the story doesn’t end there. As we edge

While butter yellow is reigning supreme for Summer 2025—soft, creamy, and serotonin-inducing—the story doesn’t end there. As we edge into fall, yellow is mellowing into richer, toastier tones. Subdued shades like honey, wheat, and ochre are stepping forward. Think golden hour light on linen, warm and sun-kissed with an earthy edge.

For now, butter yellow is the ultimate feel-good neutral. The Francesca Desk captures its Tuscan hillside villa vibes and mature silhouette. Even smaller accents like the Kaonashi Vase and Candelabra let customers ease into the trend without a full commitment. These soft yellows brighten a room without overpowering it and photograph beautifully in natural light.

Looking ahead, honey yellow is having a moment. It’s grounding, golden, and full of depth. We’ve embraced it in our new Foxy Collection, which features accent and dining chairs upholstered in a textured honey-toned fabric that reads effortlessly refined.. The Sulley Dining Chair and the Julianna Bench also share this sun-warmed finish, bringing tonal cohesion and a sense of understated luxury to any space. Still testing the waters? Just toss a Harvest Cushion Cover on your throw pillow and you're in! 

These deeper yellows feel timeless and tactile. They’re the kind of shades that elevate without screaming for attention, pairing easily with creamy boucle, dark woods, or brushed brass. Whether you're creating a layered tonal look or just want a quiet hit of color, honey yellow adds the warmth without the flash.

So while butter is still the shade of the season, fall is making space for something slower and sweeter. Honey tones are soft, styled, and built to last. At TOV, we’ve got both sides of the yellow story covered, no matter your mood.
