Decorating With Earth Tones
A WARM AND NATURAL LOOK
The earth tone palette are comfortable, rich looking and warm, adding harmony and coziness to a home environment. They remind us of the colors of the falling leaves in the harvest season.
An earth tone palette can go with almost any decorating style – smooth and sophisticated, rough and rustic, or dainty and feminine. It all depends on the specific hues you select and the style of the home elements you purchase. Using lighter versions of earth tones will create a more lustrous, natural look.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE HUE?
Consider the variety of earth tones that work well for home design projects: ginger, copper, cinnamon, tan, umber, khaki, pumpkin, coffee, persimmon, sage, and terra cotta.
Earth tone hues tend to work well with each other, so it’s easier to combine colors than with some other palettes.
Earth tones also go well with cream, taupe, beige and light gray as a neutral. Use white to brighten an earth tone palette or introduce black to add drama and sophistication.
