Nature Inspired Color Palettes

Hello everyone! I hope you had a nice weekend (ours was HOT - 114 degrees to be exact!). I mentioned last Friday that I was skipping out early to spend some girl time with my mom, and our first stop was Rogers Gardens, a gorgeous nursery and gift shop located in Newport Beach. The grounds are filled with rose gardens, garden rooms, potting sheds, an orchid room, and so much more. I snapped a ton of pictures as we meandered through the lush plants and flower gardens, in awe of God's incredible creations and flawless designs in nature. I was reminded of how nature's color palette is absolute perfection - in every way, shape and form. This is the greatest place to find color inspiration for interiors! For today's post, I coordinated the photos I took at the nursery with interior photos that reflect each inspired color scheme. Where do you find color scheme inspiration? Please share your thoughts!

  1. I just keep hoping for the right vertical bloom wallpaper for the staircase walls, and the cherry blossom could be the right one.

    Cheers!

  3. Stores like Zara inspire me in a few ways, but mostly in terms of color combos! I was a lot of HGTV as well and get lots of ideas from that. Loving the neutral palette these days as well!
