Popular color palettes are cyclical. About every 20 years, we can expect to see a return of the shades from two decades ago. That's why, when we want truly innovative interior design inspiration, we tend to turn to the past. Today's source material is Kirk Douglas's living room in 1984.
An archival photo of the actor and producer's home is the embodiment of warm neutrals. The living room color palette combines cream walls with brown furnishings, and rounds it out with burnt orange accents (These $9 cushions from Amazon are a great option for recreating the look). The effect is earthy and inviting.
