What is a Home Color Palette

A custom color palette serves as the foundation for well thought out interior design projects, setting the overall mood and style of a space. Elizabeth and team carefully select colors that harmonize and complement each other, creating a cohesive and unified look throughout the entire home.

When choosing a home color palette, ERI considers various factors. We begin by understanding the client’s preferences, lifestyle, and the purpose of each room. It’s important for there to be cohesiveness throughout the home, but for certain moods to occur in certain areas. For instance, a bedroom might require calming and soothing colors, while a living area may benefit from vibrant and energetic hues.

Elizabeth draws inspiration from various sources, such as nature, art, or fashion, to create a unique and personalized color scheme. As part of the Design Direction phase of our projects we create mood boards to communicate and evoke specific emotions or create a desired atmosphere. We call these boards our North Star as we continue through the design process.

Ultimately, a well-chosen home color palette should reflect the client’s style, enhance the space’s functionality, and create a visually pleasing and harmonious environment throughout the entire home.
