There's no greater source of color inspiration than the natural world around us. Like soothing blues reminiscent of ocean waves or soft pinks suggestive of blooming flowers, nature-inspired colors are some of the most sought-after shades in design. But nature's neutrals – well, they're the grounding forces for some of the best interior schemes.
Though greens and browns have long reigned as some of the most popular nature-inspired neutrals, we're noticing a new wave of neutral earth tones gaining traction in the design scene – including shades like charcoal, stone, mushroom, and olive. These shades are slightly more nuanced than the neutrals we're used to, bringing a sense of drama and depth to interiors with their smoky, hazy undertones. As a summer color trend, these nuanced neutrals feel rather unexpected, especially as we approach the summer season. But the truth is, these shades hold a sense of longevity that allows them to transcend seasonal color constraints and stay desirable any time of year.
These nature-inspired neutrals are mature, sophisticated, and undeniably timeless. Despite their trendiness right now, there's no doubt that these colors have the capability to go the distance in design – after all, they've been doing just that in the natural world since the beginning of time.
