Using aesthetic in your home
Use this palette in bedrooms, baths, studios, and living rooms with simple finishes. North light can turn Old Moss and lavender notes cooler, so add warmer trim. South light makes Heated Flint and beige pinks creamier. Pair with ivory, mushroom, pale oak, soft black, or brushed nickel. The warning is sameness. If every surface is muted and low contrast, the room can look flat in person.
