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.
