Each day you have the opportunity to step into nature for instant interior design inspiration!
From sunrise to sunset you can find color inspiration for any room in your home. Look out your window or take a long drive in the country to spark your creative juices.
Every color evokes different emotions and has a unique psychological effect. What’s most important is that you ask yourself, “How you want to feel in each room?” Then, look to nature!
Sunrise Inspiration
At the beginning of each day you will find inspiration just by looking out your window towards the east. The sunrise introduces stunning pinks and oranges to the cool blue sky, all colors you can easily incorporate into your home.
Notice how the colors of the early morning sky blend so perfectly together. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness and creativity, perfect for a child’s bedroom!

Cues from Summer
During summer, you can bask in the vibrant green hues of trees and foliage as you drive through winding roads or take a walk around the block. Pay attention to the dark brown tree bark and the rich green colors of the forest.
Green is a color that is often associated with tranquility. If you seek a space that feels natural, organic and restful, green is a great choice.

Water Views
Have you ever taken in the beautify of Lake Michigan’s ripples and waves? Looking towards the horizon where blue water touches blue sky evokes a feeling of calm. No one can deny the rejuvenating feeling of water or the relaxing lull of waves.
The color blue is associated with clarity and creativity, capable of calming the senses in any home.
Autumnal Vibes
The warm reds, yellows, browns and orange colors of autumn’s changing leaves make for a lovely color concept.
Red is energetic and always captures the eye, making a statement that cannot be ignored. Yellow is an uplifting color often associated with happiness.
If you want your space to feel playful and energetic, introduce the colors of autumn into your room!
Garden Life
Look no further than a garden for loads of color inspiration!
From the dark purple of eggplants to the soft purple of lilac bushes, a wide range of hues can be found in fruits, vegetables and flowers.
Beyond the garden, purple is associated with spirituality and beauty, and its rich tones are reminiscent of royalty and wealth. Purple is always a bold choice because it conveys luxury, power, and confidence.
If nature has produced a hue, it’s likely to look beautiful in a home when surrounded by the right complimentary colors. You simply can’t go wrong when mother nature has created the perfect color combinations to inspire us!
