Designer Inspiration

ABYSS 2128-20

This charcoal tone with notes of navy is a rich shade that draws you in and immerses you in whatever room it covers. It dominates while inviting lighter colors to enhance its depth, lending a sense of expansiveness to any space. The subtle navy undertones pull mystery from this sophisticated gray and allow it to pair effortlessly with wooden hues. It’s no wonder Ivy Row Design opted for Abyss in the master bedroom: sleeping surrounded by this shade would have you thinking you’re under the midnight sky.

TEA LIGHT 471

The owner of this home’s favorite descriptor for this Texan ranch is “zen”, and this is no doubt a result of the dreamy and creamy green that dominates this space. The color calms and comforts, relaxes and refreshes, automatically inducing the tranquility that is such a crucial aspect in any home. This rich color achieves all of this in introverted fashion, providing the perfect backdrop for recharging and reconnecting.

SEATTLE GRAY 2130-70

Easy and breezy, just like the West Coast city it’s named after, this stunningly subtle blue-gray hue is enough to induce the sweetest of dreams. Seattle Gray is the color equivalent of cloud-nine, seducing with a sense of slowing time, especially when paired with crisp-white finishes as done in this master suite. It’s time we stopped associating gray with boring and started appreciating what it lends to the color canon!

WOODLAWN BLUE HC-147

The slightest variations can sometimes reimagine even timeless colors. Baby blue borrows a slight greenish tint and reappears newly energized as the moody but lively Woodlawn Blue. This shade can be compelling on the walls or be used as a backdrop for accessories (such as on a bookshelf, as pictured here), allowing them to pop with its understated delicacy and refined elegance. However you choose to use it, this zesty twist is on its way to becoming one of our favorite tried-and-true blues.
