Look familiar? While this is the same living room as above, it looks like a new space with this earthy, refined palette. The soft, silvery green in Jojoba N390-3 is used for the feature wall. Darker Royal Orchard PPU11-01 on the adjoining wall elegantly frames the space. Plus, try painting trim a saturated accent Colour, like Saffron Strands PPU6-02 (which plays off the honey-toned fireplace).

This combination acts as a grand backdrop for a vignette to amplify your personal style.
