Festive Jewel Tones

Changing of seasons brings more than bare trees. It brings a new color palette as well. The interior design industry has been fighting to keep up with the ever changing fashion industry, and will probably never entirely be able to do so, but color palette is one way it can.

The holiday season always seems to bring a rich new palette to work with, and this year is no different. I'm sure you have noticed the royal colors around you this season. Think jewel tones: peacock blue, deep amethyst, and rich gold. What could feel more festive.

  1. I love all these colors. I want to do a fun blue in our master, but have had a really hard time finding what I am looking for. Well, at a reasonable price...that is always the hard part!

  2. Cool stuff brit. I have seen some of it used in various model homes I do with my team. I like that plum rug and have been looking for one for our family room. I also have wanted to repaint our guest bedroom and we have that same breadspread in the first picture. It's a cool blue paint color and blues can be tricky. Nice work!
