Inspired By Summer Picnics

This summer, we’re taking it back to basics and asking ourselves what our favorite summer activities are and what they mean to us. One activity that quickly comes to mind is a summer picnic complete with refreshing drinks, snacks, and a view. Whether enjoying a picnic at the lake, on the beach sand, or in a quiet field, let the calming effects of a summer picnic inspire you to create the best version of not only your home, but also yourself.

To keep the summer inspiration flowing, we’re showcasing a summer picnic inspired color palette and flooring options that complement it beautifully. These stunning flooring products and colors are a match made in heaven, and one that’s not to be missed this season.

Summer Color Palettes

Soft pink and beige echo the sentiment of summer flawlessly with their light, bright hues, while green and brown reflect nature, trees, and the liveliness that summer brings to each and every home. In combination, these colors pair well together or stand alone as the focal point of a room.

Not sure where to start? Try choosing a room and pairing complementing colors together. For example, soft pink and beige are ideal for nurseries, home offices, and spaces that need to feel a bit brighter. Or, try deep green and brown to create a unique, yet elegant look in a man-cave, bedroom, or bathroom. You can even add wallpaper to any of these spaces to further add color, texture or pattern, depending on your design style and personal preference.
