Provenance® Woven Wood Shades in the Living Room

Adding color to a home can be daunting, which is why sometimes it’s best to stick with the classics, such as earth tones. At Window Treats serving Monmouth Beach, we love helping our customers determine how to add color to their homes, so if you’ve been thinking about adding color—from any number of palettes, including earth tones—be sure to speak with one of our representatives.

Why Earth Tones?

Both trendy and long-lasting, earth tones are friendly, contemporary, and inviting. They bring the hues of nature into a home, adding a sense of balance and calm to make a welcoming space. Earth tones are most often used in living rooms and family rooms, where people tend to gather, yet they also work well in bedrooms and kitchens.

Adding Earth Tones

A fair number of colors are considered “earth tones,” so you might need to do some experimenting to find the right combo. Choose a palette you like, with colors that will pair well. Think ivory with terracotta, deep brown with charcoal, red brick with ashy gray, tan with forest green, dusty mauve with beige, or others. Next apply the color by mimicking the actual world—use muted colors from the outdoors, like warm browns (think dirt) with olive (think fall leaves). Don’t go glossy or shiny, because that will look unnatural. Next, make your earth tones pop by adding texture and layers. Bring in textured wallpaper for an earthy statement, and decorate with items made with burlap, cement, or wood or that are woven. Or add side panels beside existing window treatments, to make the space feel intentional and add visual interest.

Hunter Douglas Window Fashions

Your window fashions can complement your new earth tone palette through textures and layers and as standalone additions. For a natural look, consider Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, which are made from woods, reeds, grasses, or bamboo. Or think about Vignette® Roman Shades, which will add a sense of elegance and style. And be sure to check out the variety of fabrics with our custom drapery options, where you can also find coordinating hardware and accessories that will tie the entire look together.
