January 2025 Colour Palette
This colour palette is inspired by the interplay of sunlight, water, and rocky textures in coastal underwater landscapes.
The shades range from soft sage green and earthy olive to deep teal and almost-black ocean hues, evoking tranquillity, grounding, and depth.
The palette captures the essence of nature’s quiet elegance: subtle greens for harmony, warm olives for an earthy touch, and deep aqua blues for a sense of mystery. If implemented in your home, this perfect mix creates a calming and reflective atmosphere.
How to implement It at Home:
- Walls and Accent Paint:
- Use the sage green for walls to create a soft, soothing background. Sage green walls create an inviting backdrop that enhances natural light.
- Incorporate the olive tone in accent walls, furniture, or decor for a grounded, earthy vibe.
- The deeper teal and black tones work beautifully as accents for trim, shelving, or smaller furniture pieces.
- Textiles:
- Add dimension by layering throw pillows in shades of green and teal mixed with textures like cotton, linen, or velvet.
- Use rugs with subtle patterns in these tones to anchor the room, balancing the lighter sage with the deeper teal.
- Choose darker hues for upholstery or throws to anchor the space.
- Art and Decor:
- Highlight the palette with abstract ocean-inspired art or photography.
- Decorate with natural materials, like woven baskets, ceramic pieces, or driftwood, to complement the earthy elements.
- Rooms:
- Living Room: Use this palette to create a tranquil retreat with comfortable furniture and soft lighting.
- Bedroom: Incorporate the deeper hues in bedding and sage on the walls for a restful ambiance.
- Bathroom: Blend the greens and blues with white or neutral elements to evoke a spa-like atmosphere.
This palette is perfect for anyone seeking to infuse their space with a natural, calming presence. It is ideal for both modern and nature-inspired interiors.
