In a fast pace world with exhaustive
routines, a calm and warm home is all one needs.
A home decorated with warm tones such as
base Earth tones, or colors derived from nature, are calming, mellow hues that frequently
have a wide range of applications. Earth-tone colors include muddy shades like
chocolate browns, moss greens, taupes, and murky mustards. These hues, inspired
by nature, consistently increase the coziness of a space.
No of your décor style, earth tones provide
a calming warmth to any space. The natural world inspires them. Without
spending a lot of money or running the risk of losing your security deposit,
updating your room may be accomplished by painting the walls or by adding rugs,
throw cushions, or bedding in earth tones.
In this blog, you can explore various ideas
on how to furnish your home with earthy tones to compliment your journey in
decorating your space in an earthy style, Lulu and Georgia will benefit by all

Use natural tone wall hues:
1. Soil Brown
This bedroom office by Fantastic Frank is
covered in warm, comforting, and earthy chocolate brown paint that grounds the
area while white accents create a striking contrast.
2.
Mustard
In recent years, richer tones of golden
yellows like mustard, curry, turmeric, and others have been trendy on
everything from throw pillows to carpets and beds. The bright, softly energizing
wall paint in this bedroom by Fantastic Frank, which is coupled with soft hues
of white to keep it feeling open and fresh, is an example of how these colors
work nicely with neutral interiors of any kind and can provide warmth to a
minimalist or tiny area.
3. Defined Earth-Tone Palette
Let`s take a moment to discuss what an
earth-tone color pallet looks like before perusing some of our favorite
earth-tone home designs. We refer to these hues as outdoor colors, such as
taupe sand, chocolate brown tree bark, and green moss, which you can see when
taking a stroll outside. Think of earth tones as Mother Nature`s color scheme.
Decorating with earth tones is liberating
since the color palette includes neutrals like wheat and caramel and warm hues
like terracotta and burnt orange.
4. Become grounded
Similar to decorating with any color
scheme, it`s crucial to establish a strong foundation before adding highlights
when using earth tones. To lay the proper groundwork, select a warm color
scheme, such as cocoa brown suede, burned sienna, caramel leather, or
wheat-colored for a linen sofa. Ivory and oatmeal-colored cream-colored accent
chairs may also serve as a flexible, neutral foundation for earth tones but
stay clear from cool-toned whites like egret and alabaster. Change out accent
items as the seasons change to keep the earthy tones appropriate for the
season. Think of moss green for spring or burnt orange or yellow ochre for
fall.
Scale it back:
It`s crucial to pick subdued renditions of
earthy hues for major pieces within an earth-tone palette, like your mattress
or area rug. Regarding earth tones, glossy, high-gloss objects might be
excessive. For example, vibrant hues like strawberry red and emerald green won`t
seem like authentic earth tones. You want the environment to feel lived in and
reflect nature. Instead, choose hues like amber and olive.
Keep It Simple:
Make sure the space has plenty of natural
light because you`ll decorate with softer, more subdued variations of green,
brown, orange, and other earth tones. Earth tones won`t naturally reflect light
because they are matte and non-reflective. Keep window coverings to a minimum
to let in as much natural light as possible. Consider using wood, stone, and
iron light fixtures to include more earthy and nature-inspired components in
the rooms.
Adding layers:
A further layer of earthiness may be added
to the walls by hanging outdoor-inspired paintings. Our favorites include
skylines, seaside settings, mountain ranges, and flowers. To make this work
well, pick items with earth tones. Take a gallery wall further and add
patterned wallpaper to make it stand out. Choose a wallpaper with a grainy,
sandy appearance, like the one seen above.
Adding texture:
To give the earth tones another natural
aspect, use textured objects. Natural accents like woven baskets, cement
planters, or a burlap table runner work well for layering over matte earth
tones. These textured products may naturally provide visual appeal while aiding
in clutter storage and surface cleanliness.
Explore and introduce Earthy Elements around you:
You are not required to use only the colors
you pick when decorating with earth tones. Include earthy components with your
color scheme to bring the outside in. Think about using earthenware vases or
candlesticks; their lovely grey and clay tones and rustic appeal will offer a
touch of the outdoors. A countertop bowl made of stone or ceramic serves as a
storage container for keys and mail and blends in perfectly with other earth
tones. Additionally, wood accent items may provide a touch of rustic flair and
a touch of nature.
Glass Accents
When considering earth-tone home design,
glittering accents may not immediately spring to mind, but that shouldn`t stop
you from employing glassware as a decorative element. Choose colors with a
forest theme, such as the greens and browns seen above. Glass vases resembling
river pebbles are excellent for showcasing plants or filling them with smooth
stones. Display common glassware in earth tones on open shelves in the kitchen
or use ornamental glass to create a scene on an entryway console table.
