From Earth Hues to Jewel Tones: Everything We Love in the World of Color Right Now
For years, neutral palettes have dominated the design world—offering calm, clean backdrops that felt safe and timeless. But lately, richer, more expressive colors are stepping into the spotlight, and I couldn’t be more excited to see spaces come alive with warmth, depth, and personality. Keep reading for some of my favorite hues making a big impact this year!
Elevated, Healing Earth Hues
Earthy tones like olive, sage, umber, navy, cinnamon, and ochre are making a strong comeback this year, bringing a sense of groundedness, security, and natural warmth to interiors. I love how these colors instantly make a space feel rooted, inviting, and timeless—like a deep exhale after a long day. I’m excited to use them in layered textiles, cozy accent walls, and curated decor to create spaces that feel both soulful and stylish.
Joyful, Tasteful Jewel Tones
Jewel tones like emerald, garnet, sapphire, and topaz are bringing a luxurious sense of depth and drama to interiors this year. These colors feel rich, evocative, and full of life—like little bursts of story and emotion woven into a space. I love using them in statement pieces, bold textiles, or even small accents to create a feeling of curated elegance and personal expression.
Novel, Bold Natural Brights
Bright, nature-inspired colors like coral, cerulean, and lime are adding fresh energy and optimism to design this year. When balanced with soft neutrals, they create spaces that feel vibrant yet approachable—like a breath of fresh air. I love using these playful tones in artwork, accent pieces, or even a fun pop on cabinetry to instantly lift the mood of a room.
Trends are fun, but when it comes to your home, anything goes! I love helping people mix in the colors they truly love, so their space feels like a true reflection of their personality—full of joy, comfort, and a whole lot of heart.
