We’re giving “home sweet home” a new meaning as the spaces we live in become the backdrop to our lives now more than ever. Whether it’s your place for connecting with nature or the room where your daily to-dos get done, we’re sharing some of our favorite calming room makeovers from you!
Home Office Haven
The upside of home offices? All of the details get picked by you. When you’re looking for a color to give your work-from-home haven a head-to-toe makeover, rich hues are great for blanketing a room in comfort. A classic neutral like Grays Harbor goes with a variety of decor styles and features a blue undertone that puts your mind at ease.
Open Floor Balance
With plenty of seating and a collection of curated throws, this open floor plan feels equally inviting, whether you’re dining or relaxing. A transitional hue like Pure White is ideal for creating a seamless color flow that keeps the room feeling harmonious. Add natural materials and darker accent colors to balance the airiness with boho charm.
Cottage Hideaway
Nestled between the trees and lined with greenery, this cozy cottage feels like an off-the-grid getaway for taking in the little things. While dark colors can be dramatic and modern, they can also be down to earth and grounding – the trick lies in styling. Tricorn Black takes on a softer look when paired with botanical accents, natural materials and a pop of tranquil color, like Jade Dragon.
Laundry Room Lavish
Make laundry blues a thing of the past with a calming shade like Studio Blue Green. This color adds the perfect amount of airiness to keep your space feeling light and carefree – especially as you’re working through loads of clothes. This stunning laundry and mudroom makeover also makes organization a top priority with open shelving and overhead storage that gives everything a home.
Cooking Up Farmhouse
This bright kitchen carries farmhouse charm from its floor to its ceiling. A softer hue like Light French Gray plays well with other natural looks like wood accents and clean silhouettes. An unencumbered space like this always ties back to the motto of less is more.
