With the year wrapping up, so is our yearlong inspiration palette project. Not familiar with our seasonal palette projects? Our goal is to embody the essence of each current season while utilizing various materials that are used in interior design. Materials include wallcovering, flooring, paint chips, upholstery fabric, tile and other finishes that are utilized in interiors projects. If you haven’t yet checked out our spring, summer, and fall inspiration palettes, take a look! This winter palette is easily our favorite. It incorporates crisp whites and cool greys for an airy, tone-on-tone look.
In the winter months, it’s almost as though the world feels more quiet. Some of us fully welcome the solitude and quietness that arrives with the cold of winter. Flurries, biting temperatures, and blustery winds lead a lot of people to retreat to the indoors where they may find themselves fireside, amongst the the glow of a Christmas tree and perhaps in good company.
For this palette, we wanted to utilize various tones of grey, in addition to crisp whites, copper accents and a lot of texture. For natural elements, we added in pine cones and greenery. And, while cotton is not in season during this time, we used it for our palette as we love its similar appearance to fluffy snow.
