Think muted earth tones, deep jewel tones, or classic neutrals that highlight architectural details. 🌱 The goal is to create a sense of depth and warmth that respects the home's history while feeling current. Accent colors are used strategically to draw attention to original features like millwork or fireplaces. It’s about timeless choices that enhance the home's narrative.
