Get back to your roots by embracing earth tones in your home

Earth tones provide a relaxing and nurturing contrast to the shiny, metallic finishes that are part of technology and modernity.

Many of us think that in order for our homes to be inviting everything has to be slick and chic.

At Bespoke Design and interiors we feel that it’s time to get back to our roots and embrace nature by adding a range of earth tones to our homes in order to provide a space for us to recharge, to appreciate the beauty of nature, and to ground ourselves.

Here are 3 simple ways to incorporate earth tones into your home.

Add texture

If your earth-tone room is looking a little washed out, it could be due to a lack of texture.

Earth tones beg for a rich variety of textures, from rough to sleek and smooth. Aim to include at least three different textures in the space, but the more, the merrier. An easy way way to do this is to add dried flowers or pampas grass into one of our textured vases.

Terracotta tones

Warm, spicy reds like baked apple and clay tend to be much easier to live with than brighter, bolder reds. The bit of brown helps tone down these reddish hues, making them feel cosy and comfortable — perfect for social spaces like the living and dining room.

Complements of colour

Spring green, canary yellow or heather purple can make a lovely complement and contrast to subtle earth tones.

Just as the new shoots of young plants look hopeful poking up out of rich soil, a few vibrant green or bright cushions, blinds or curtains can liven up a room done in soft, earthy hues.

So there you have it, if you yearn to add more earthy vibes to your home but don’t know where to begin why not have a free consultation with one of our team. They’ll be happy to work to your requirements and budget.
