Is your home stuck in a circa 2003 Tuscan color rut? Or have you veered too far in the opposite direction and trapped yourself in a stark black and white nightmare? Look no further - these color combos are classic and timeless, yet fresh and updated, and can be used throughout your home for a unified feel!
The New Earth-Tone Palette
Fresh and modern does not have to mean gray. In fact, brown is making a major comeback. I'm in love with the idea of this new take on earth tones. It's comfy, cozy, peaceful, and lends itself well to natural wood furniture, houseplants, brass, oil-rubbed bronze, or brushed nickel hardware and a warm creamy wall color. Try this in a transitional home or farmhouse for an updated yet cozy look!

The New Neutral Palette
If you're like me, you LOVE neutrals. They're easy, they're modern, and they go with just about everything because they're, well, neutral! But stark black and reflective bright white are not always practical for families or for a house that isn't straight out of the RH Modern collection. This look can be paired with trendy brushed brass hardware, black furniture with clean lines, tribal textiles, and chunky textures. Try this in a minimalist farmhouse or modern transitional for a sleek yet homey look.

The New Boho Palette
I'll admit, this vibe is a little out of my wheelhouse, but the new retro-leaning boho aesthetic is super popular with twenty-somethings and would be perfect for a dorm room, art studio, guest bedroom, or powder room! Or bring in these colors throughout your home through accent walls and furniture, art, pillows. I've paired two really fun boho colors (the coral and gold) with two classic anchor colors (navy and white) for a trendy yet timeless look. It lends itself to brass hardware, rattan textures, ivory faux fur, and of course, houseplants! Try this look anywhere you want to step out of the box and into the 2020s!
