An earthy colour palette encompasses various hues, from burnt orange to soothing olive green to velvety midnight blue. Earth-toned hues foster a grounded and relaxing ambiance and are often complimented by a neutral colour palette of creamy whites and warm browns. Because this palette is made up of timeless colours, it's the perfect colour scheme to canvas throughout your home in large staples from floors to walls to furniture. Earth tone paint colours never go out of style, so feel free to use these hues liberally in your decor.

One of the most significant ways to make an impact with earth tones is through flooring. Whether you're looking to complete your transitional home design with authentic hardwood or hoping to elevate your kitchen with natural slate tiles, earth toned flooring has a wide variety of options that will stun in your home.
