Decorating With Earth Tones
With a greater move toward bringing a sense of nature indoors, earth tones—always both trendy and classic—have been making a comeback lately. At Windows, Walls & More serving West Bloomfield, we know it can be daunting to add color to a space, but because earth tones can make a home warm and inviting, they’re actually easy to add. We have a few ideas below on how to bring earth tones into your home.
Benefits of Earth Tones
Colors of nature can bring a sense of balance and calm. Earth tones are friendly, contemporary, and inviting. You can think especially of adding them to your living or family room, and they also work well in bedrooms or the kitchen. Popular earth tone combos include ivory with terracotta, deep brown with charcoal, red brick with ashy gray, tan with forest green, and dusty mauve with beige.
Approaches to Take
To help your earth tones blend with your current décor, start in small doses and consider the following ideas. Start by mimicking the actual world—use muted colors from the outdoors, like warm browns (think dirt) with olive (think fall leaves). Add texture—earth tones pop more with texture. Perhaps use textured wallpaper or décor made with wood, cement, or burlap. Add layers, such as side panels beside existing window fashions, to make your decorating look more intentional.
Complementary Window Coverings
Hunter Douglas offers a wide variety of window treatments that can complement, add to, or benefit your new earth tone palette. One excellent choice is Vignette® Roman Shades, which come in over 25 fabric and color choices and will add a sense of elegance and style. If you want to highlight that natural look, consider Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, which are made from woods, reeds, grasses, or bamboo and which filter light beautifully.
