CREATE GARDEN CHEER IN
YOUR HOME WITH COLOR
From the saturated colors of fresh fruits and flowers to the neutral
hues of pavers and fountains, the promise of new spring gardens can
provide an endless source of decorating inspiration.
Styling a home is much like planting a
garden: Begin with a base color, then
add pops of lively hues to complement
the space. Reminiscent of violets in
the garden, try purple vases on the
fireplace mantel. Finally, add accents
such as a green rug, as if there were
freshly cut blades of grass underfoot.
The color experts at Sherwin-Williams
have selected several botanical shades
in the
Refreshed
palette of its Today's
Colors collection. These bright hues
look especially fresh when paired with
light, natural wood tones.
Using fabrics with botanical motifs is
another way to reflect the cheery mood
of renewal. Furniture upholstery, pillows
and curtains can interweave organic
elements into the home.
Experimenting with muted, natural
colors is another twist on garden-style
decorating. For example, the Sherwin-
Williams
Treasured
palette from the

Today's Colors collection includes
neutrals reminiscent of vintage,
glazed pottery. Accent a room with an
understated coral, yellow or green to
give a home the feeling it's been well-
loved for generations.
Wonder whether a splash of spicy
tomato red can add character to a
living room or if weathered-stone
grays can refine the walls of a master
suite? Test colors without ever picking
up a paint brush.The new Upload
