Colors in Nature

Lean into nature as we find color inspiration from every environment

When we think of design inspiration, don’t we initially jump to fabric shops, paint swatches, and magazine editorials? At least, I generally do.

But really, the inspiration is everywhere.

The concept for this shoot came from a cloudy day where a snapshot of the blue-gray sky was color matched and became the perfect shade for our hallway walls. If nature is the ultimate canvas, why are we limiting ourselves to conventionality? Inspiration is everywhere, is it not?

Here are four floral schemes, arrangements whose saturated and diverse colors act as the catalyst for entire room schemes. We’ve matched the paint colors to each bouquet, so feel free to snip and take each scheme to your local shop to test and try on your four walls.
