Another fresh look is painting the trim the same color as the walls.

Whether it is in a room that needs to be painted or the color of a throw blanket in a space, this color can be incorporated into your design in many beautiful ways.

While I love seeing the chosen paint colors for each new year, I do not think one should have to repaint their house whenever trending colors arise.

When designing the rooms in our home, my goal is to choose colors that will last many years and incorporate classic and timeless decor/furniture.
