This post is all about my earthy green color palette! I was inspired by a photo of a wooden side table with a vase filled with green leaves. In this post, I’ll discuss why this brown and green color combination works well in home decor and give you some tips for incorporating the colors into your home. Then, I will provide the color hex codes and the Sherwin-Williams paint color matches.
Why This Color Scheme Works Well in Home Decor
Shades of white, grey, brown, and green are the perfect combination for home decor, and here’s why. The creamy white provides a soft and neutral backdrop, while gray adds a bit of elegance and modernity. Brown brings warmth and grounding and green infuses a refreshing burst of nature-inspired vitality.
This versatile combination works well with many styles, from contemporary to farmhouse, and its timeless appeal makes it a great choice for years to come.
Layering different shades and textures within each of these colors will create dimension and richness. For example, incorporating wooden accents, lush plants and pairing creamy white walls with gray upholstery.
Whether you’re revamping your living room or sprucing up your bedroom, this nature-inspired color scheme is an amazing option.
