See it clearly

Choose one shade you already love—plum, sea glass, butter yellow—and repeat it once or twice in a napkin, flower, or lamp.

Borrow the feeling

The tiles should remain easy to see. A color story is atmosphere, not camouflage.

Make it yours

If the color feels too precious, use it for the invitation or a dessert plate. A little goes a long way.

Keep the vision light on its feet.

Inspiration is not a construction plan or a claim about a real person’s home.
