I have an earth-toned palette for this space, which allows me to get really creative with textures, opacity, and shape of objects. Because my brain is super detail-oriented, maximalist design initially excites me—but eventually overwhelms me. I realized that if I keep the color palette in more earthen browns and greens and incorporate mostly materials found in nature (oak hardwood floors, mixed metals, organic linen bedding, alpaca wool couch and pillows, etc.), then my head space feels calm and clear, and my mental health and overall well-being benefit.
