Should Color Palettes Go Back to Basics?

Yes, yes and yes! I feel we need to gravitate toward they earthy colors to start grounding us and bringing us closer to Nature. Doing so will start to bring balance in our lives. When we side with Earth the craziness and clutter in our lives has a chance to unravel. "Unnatural" hues in the home sometimes adds to chaos and stress.

Now don't think that natural means the ugly hues of the 70's - bland and boring. You can have a natural color palette with a little kick of color without going crazy. 

There are some colors that need to go on vacation and some we need to bring back such as this color palette. You can mix and match this color palette to your hearts content:

• Green + Orange
• Green + Cream
• Green + Brown
• Brown + orange
• Brown + Cream
• Cream + Brown
• Brown + Cream

… and there are more combos. See how just four colors can color most of your home? Mix and match and vary the shade and tones of these hues. Not only will it look good in your home but it will feel good as well.

See the colors I have in this palette? Now look at this beautiful room by CR Laine. The wall color is a green but softened just a bit, very soothing. The orange is darkened which teeters almost to a orange red which is gorgeous. Cream accents lighten and brighten and the brown would be a great choice for flooring or furniture. This room is flipping perfect!

Open your mind to earthy colors and get creative. I can guarantee that they will feel good in your home.
