How To Use A Color Palette In Your Home: Earthy Dining Room

April 5, 2021

Are you wondering how you can incorporate a little color into your room without painting the walls? Do you ever look at color palettes on Pinterest and long to have that same vibe in your home? I’m bringing different color palettes to life in my continued “How To Use A Color Palette In Your Home” blog series. I will show you how to create a beautiful room using different color palettes along with some fun pieces to help you bring these colors into your own home.

THE COLOR INSPIRATION: Earthy

(Click the images to shop this post!)

For this palette, I choose a dining table that sits six perfectly. I love the bold crescent-curved legs and its broad oval top with a gorgeous brown finish.

PANOS DINING TABLE

These chairs have stunning exposed joinery details and pair perfectly with the table above. I love the barrel back that flows into armrests.

Cullen Shiitake Olive Round Back Dining Chair

To anchor the space I choose this earthy, handwoven rug made from a lightweight blend of jute and cotton. The versatile interlocking diamonds in rich sage green adds so much interest without being overwhelming.

Natural And Sage Geometric Jute Accona Area Rug

I choose a darker hued console for depth and a richer feel.

Folsom Console Table

To bring in more natural texture and additional storage, I tucked two of these baskets underneath the console table. I love the durable rattan and wicker material that ensures long-lasting beauty and warmth in your home.

Aubrey Handwoven Basket Collection - Natural

To keep the room from feeling too heavy, I opted for an airy chandelier (super affordable) and a light toned table lamp for the lighting in this space.

Alleyne 4 - Light Kitchen Island Linear Pendant
Regina Andrew Grace Alabaster Table Lamp

To soften the space, I hung white curtains to break up all the horizontal lines.

Sora Casual Textured Light Filtering Grommet Top Curtain Panel - No. 918

Above the Console, I choose a large tranquil art piece. The organic landscape featuring a lovely forest scene is the perfect compliment to this dining room.

Forest Edge 2

For the accessories, I wanted to keep it pretty minimal so that each piece is highlighted. Simplicity is sometimes best!

A Home for Gathering: Designing a Space That Brings People Together

Lately, I've been thinking about how entertaining at home used to be a regular part of social life, from casual cocktail parties to spontaneous evenings with friends and neighbors. Perhaps what our homes are missing isn't another beautiful piece of furniture, but more opportunities to connect. I'm exploring the return of in-person conversation, simple weekly get-togethers, and how creating intentional conversation spaces in our homes can help bring back a little more connection, community, and time together.

When I think of fall, I think of falling leaves, warm caramel apple cider (or pumpkin spice for my coffee-drinking husband), apple cider donuts, pumpkins, and, of course, flannel. Like every good cozy fall read, flannel makes us feel safe and snug. This surprisingly versatile material works in most interior spaces, from traditional to modern.

The 2026 Home Decor Trend That Makes Your Home Feel More Personal
Interiors

In 2026, homes are becoming less about matching sets and more about creating a lived-in, collected-over-time style. Think Nancy Meyer’s film settings in Something’s Gotta Give, Father of the Bride, and The Holiday. Homes that emphasize warmth, personality, and feel like they are actually lived in. We are stepping away from minimal interiors in favor of natural materials like full-grain leather, hardwoods, and natural stone that develop a beautiful patina over time.

It’s the first little glimpse of your home, and I love the idea of creating a space that feels warm, collected, and seasonal without going overboard on traditional fall décor. This fall entryway does exactly that with rich earthy tones, layered textures, and a beautiful autumn wreath that brings the entire space to life.

Not every home features a grand foyer. In fact, many entryways have angled ceilings, narrow walls, or unique architectural details that can seem more challenging than inspiring. However, I have discovered that these "awkward" spaces often hold the most potential.
