March Into Spring with Earth-Inspired Tones & Textures

There’s no better way to welcome in spring than by introducing earthy tones and natural elements into your home decor. Earth tones such as the colors green or tan can symbolize growth and peace, making natural elements the perfect addition to breathe new life into your living spaces this March. From soft tan and olive tones to energizing emerald shades, there’s a perfect natural hue for every person.

Why Earth Tones?

Earth tones, associated with nature, evoke images of blooming flowers and lush forests in spring and summer. They often create a natural, calming atmosphere. And if you’ll recall from our previous newsletter, Pantone’s color of 2025 is mocha mousse (a chocolatey warm earth tone). Known for its stress-relieving qualities, shades like this add an inviting and naturally elegant ambiance. With shades ranging from soft pastels to bold tones, it’s versatile and easy to incorporate into any style so here's how to add earth tones, materials, and patterns into your home.

Accent Walls and Furniture

Introduce natural hues and patterns to your home with an accent wall in shades like emerald or sage, adding warmth and drama without overwhelming the space. We offer a variety of paint and wall coverings to match your style. For a less permanent option, explore green furniture in-store or by special order. A green side table, cabinet, or dresser adds a vibrant touch to any room. Like the Sorel Swivel Chair, there is something comforting and inviting about adding patterns like this to your home to brighten it up.

Greenery and Plants

Nothing brings the essence of earth and springtime into your home quite like plants. From potted plants and hanging planters to green indoor trees, adding greenery is an instant way to freshen up your space. If you’re looking to decorate with low-maintenance plants, consider succulents, ferns, or permanent botanicals and florals that create a serene scene like our orchids. When paired with natural-hued accessories, this color pops and draws attention.

Textiles and Accessories

If you’re not ready to commit to a bold and colorful shade on your wall, smaller touches in textiles are a fantastic way to integrate the color into your home. Think pillows, window treatments, or a duvet cover. These elements are easy to switch out as the seasons change, allowing you to update your look without a major overhaul.

Art and Décor

Incorporate green into your home through artwork and decor. A beautiful abstract painting featuring shades of green, or a framed print of nature scenes, can help establish a peaceful and invigorating mood. Vases, lamps, and even decorative bowls and trays can complement your existing furniture while adding a subtle pop of green, amber, or tan color.

Kitchen and Dining Room

Earth tones are particularly effective in the kitchen and dining room, where they encourage a sense of freshness. Consider a green accent bowl, a colorful tablecloth, or tinted glassware and dining accessories that bring out your favorite shade. For a more dramatic effect, sage cabinetry, backsplashes, or other permanent fixtures in your home can turn your kitchen into a modern, nature-inspired retreat.
