What are four nature-inspired color palettes?
Autumn
As we enter a new season, it’s easy to notice the changing colors of nature. What’s not to love about fall colors? From sunny, warm yellows to deep, romantic purples and magnetic, burnt oranges to bright, passionate reds. This heartwarming color palette is perfect for a cozy lounge or master bedroom.
Picture the walls painted a very light yellow, a burgundy couch (or bed) and tasteful orange throw pillows on a detailed purple rug. Or mix things up, depending on the specific color you want to highlight in your fall palette. Once you have the basics down, you can accent the color scheme with various decor items like vases, throws or blankets and candles.
Ocean
The perfect color palette for a beach house is, of course, one inspired by the ocean. It's also a
A great option for any warm home that gets lots of sun. Almost everyone wants the cool, comfortable feel of being near the ocean.
The different shades of blue and green in this color palette offer calmness and clarity, so it’s great for a bedroom or office space where clearing your head is needed. With this palette, it’s easy to paint your walls a darker blue or a lighter color and then finish the room in a contrasting tone or shade with everything else.
Leaves
There’s something so refreshing about the greens and yellows of a color palette inspired by leaves and foliage.

You can paint your walls a dark green, especially if you have wooden kitchen cabinets, and then complement it with softer green and yellow decor items like lighting fixtures, appliances (they come in all sorts of colors these days), table linens (if you have any).
Wildflowers
When it comes to color, millions of flowers found in nature easily come to mind. Flowers come in a myriad of colors. This particular color palette is a rustic one that features wildflowers and hay – a combination you might find on a cute little farm on a quiet, dusty road. The pretty purples and pinks work well with the creams and beiges of this color scheme.
It's easy to see why this would be a great color combination for a girl's bedroom. You could opt for neutral cream or beige walls with purple and pink linens, curtains and decor, or paint the walls a soft pink and use creams and beiges with purple throughout the rest of the bedroom.
