Find a Flexible Palette By Taking Cues From Nature

December 5th, 2011

To fend off the winter blues, I like to daydream about any updates I would like to make to our home décor when spring arrives. This year I have planned to change the colour scheme throughout, and make it more versatile. After much deliberating, and musing the answer that has arisen seems obvious now.

One of the best known ways to create a flexible palate is to play off of natures combinations. They are often altogether well paired and as delightful in form inside as they were outside. The only real decision is which landscape, or environment to choose as the muse.

As we are avid lovers of the seashore, the decision was there all along, a beach palette is what suits us and the space best. We will convert the colours we have lived with for the last five years to ocean blues, sandy beiges, seashell corals. The predominant shades will be blues ranging from true to those with green undertones, just like the waters found at our special beach location. Flooring will remain neutral in those colours found in the flecks of sand, and accessories will pop in peachy pinks.
