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

March 29, 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!)

If your living room is a smaller space, that does not mean you need to sacrifice style. For this palette, I choose a sectional with deep seating that will be comfortable for movie watching and afternoon naps.

Kipton Two Piece Sectional

I brought in a rug with a contrasting color to really anchor the space and highlight the sofa.

Seville Hand-Knotted Rug

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

Graham Console
Rocklin 42" Round Reclaimed Wood Coffee Table

To keep the room from feeling too heavy, I opted for a different wood tone on the end tables. I love the oversized dovetail joinery detail that this end table features.

Raymond 24" Reclaimed Wood End Table

I love this statement pendant light that will hang in the entryway.

Fletcher Chandelier Aged Zinc

To soften the space, I hung this calming art piece above the console and I love the contrast between the light and the dark.

Dune Square Giclee on Canvas Wall Art

I wanted a bolder option for above the sofa, so I decided on a gallery wall featuring vintage prints that you can easily print!

French Country Painting VINTAGE Landscape PRINTABLE Digital | Etsy

For additional lighting, I used two super affordable lamps that I feel lifts the space with its white textured lamp base on the end tables.

Ceramic Assembled Table Lamp White

On the console table, I used a more stately lamp. I love the ribbing in the terra cotta base that adds a subtle hint of detail without overwhelming the vignette I’ve created.

Maddox Terra Cotta Table Lamp

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.

There’s something so inviting about decorating an entryway for fall. 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.
