A few weeks ago, Benjamin Moore revealed their Colour of the Year 2025: Slate Cinnamon. As far as colour of the years go, I really love this tone.
If you missed my post you can catch up here.
I prefer thoughtful interior design choices that are timeless and suit your home, lifestyle, and personality. However, with how beautiful this tone is, I’ve chosen Cinnamon Slate as the inspiration for this months colour montage, described as:
A delicate blend of heathered plum and velvety brown, Cinnamon Slate offers an enduring yet modern appeal.
This weeks post is more visual, sharing a selection of beautiful, inspirational images, that I hope you’ll love too.

Cinnamon Slate by Benjamin Moore
It only makes sense to start this colour montage with an actual image from the Benjamin Moore collection.
It pairs beautifully with Glacier White and the rich, warm tones of wooden furniture.

The tones in this still-life photo are perfect for this months colour montage and would create a beautiful colour palette, especially for a bedroom, with its soft, subtle tones.

Image from Skandium
This image is from Skandium, a retailer of iconic and modern Scandinavian design and lifestyle products for the home. While this is to showcase the light pendant (Ceramic Pendant), I loved the use of colour tones, particularly on the walls and the skirting board, which is a complimentary soft grey-blue tone that works well.

This tone is perfect for a bedroom. The subtle, romantic tones create a beautiful, tranquil feel, with a feminine touch.

Image from Elle France
This image from Alexandre Turpault uses a slightly more rose-pink tone.
Complemented by both a neutral off-white and the contrast of black, it works very effectively. I particularly like the finishing touch of gold, or even copper, would work very effectively.

Image from Niki Brankmark from My Scandinavian Home
This bedroom space by Niki Brankmark offers a more neutral take on the Cinnamon Slate, with fewer grey-mauve tones. However, it demonstrates how the colour palette of natural linen, rich plums and rich, chocolatey cushions can be beautifully integrated.

Image from Sabba Designs
A more dusky-rose tone compared to the purple-grey of Cinnamon Slate. Inspired by the watercolour print of Pulse from Sabba Design.

Bedroom by Niki Brankmark from My Scandinavian Home
A second image from Niki Brantmark of @myscandinavianhome using a slightly paler tone compared to Benjamin Moore’s Cinnamon Slate. Here, Blushing Peach from the Jotun paint collection has been used.
Combined with muted, earthy tones inspired by nature, it shows just how well these colours work together.
That concludes this months colour montage and will be my last post until the new year. I’m going to be taking a break to enjoy the Christmas holiday,
