Southern interior designers always appreciate the weaving of calming colors into their projects, and they are full of ideas for different types of relaxing colors that you should take into account when refreshing your own home. Here you will find five of your preferred color categories from which you can pull together with name brand recommendations for certain colors that let your space sing.
Buttery cream
Kevin Francis Design
Land somewhere between white and yellow by weaving a butter -colored color into your room, as Kevin O'Gara did here. The color, he says, “makes a nice combination with my popular soothing colors such as light blue and sage green, which enables a warm but balanced room.” The founder of Kevin Francis Design in Atlanta, Georgia, opted for Farrow & Ball Lime White (No. 1) in this bedroom. “It has a touch of green in its undertones and makes it appear a little more neutral in indirect daylight,” he explains.
Olive green
Hannah Fornsberg for Heuer Design collection
Olive Green is a versatile color, which depending on how they design it, either atmospheric or relaxed. “It brings a feeling of calm and root in every room without ever feeling flat or cold,” says Dawn Heuer, the founder of Heuer Design Collective, which is partially on PPGS olive green (ppg1113-7). The designer based in Atlanta recently used the shadow for a custom cabinet project. “The color has enveloped the room in a quiet and moody sophistication,” says Heuer. “It plays the natural light wonderfully throughout the day and adds depth and soft shine that feels both intimate and inviting.”
Another olive green that is worth considering Benjamin Moore Dakota Woods Green (2139-20). “Although it is dark, there is still a brightness,” says Patti Woods, the founder of Patti Woods Interiors, who used the color in her own home. “It has the ability to grasp it as well as their surroundings do it while walking through the forest.”
Pink
Callie Windle
Pink not only for children's rooms; You can look beautiful in the most important living areas, offices and the like, as Callie Windle shows. “I find Pink endlessly peaceful in so many of his iterations.”
Soft blues
Ellen Renee for Marian Louise Design
Blues, especially beach like Sherwin-Williams Tradewind (SW 2618), are a favorite by Mimi Meacham. “This soft mixture of green, blue and gray tones adds the perfect amount of color and still plays a subtle role in the room,” says the founder of Marian Louise Design in Houston, Texas. “It reminds of a feeling of calm and calm, which makes it ideal to create a peaceful atmosphere in every room.” Another blue to which the Miacham is accessible is Sherwin Williams Dockside Blue (SW 7601), a slate blue, of which she says, “creates the mood of a spring day near a pond”.
Similar colors to take into account that Elle Cole loves are Farrow & Ball Hell Blue (No. 22) and Farrow & Ball Pale Powder (No. 204). “These soft blue-greenenes are a delicate balance: grounded but airy, refined and yet calming,” says the founder of Elle Cole Interiors in Dallas, Texas. Light blue reminds us of how the morning light filters gently through the kitchen windows, while pale powder bears the lightness of a Sunday afternoon – a whisper of the color that does not require attention but always leaves a permanent impression. “
Other greens

Not in olive? Try one of the many other green, which designers feel as an ultraloo table. Susie Prince, the founder of Susie Mae Design in Atlanta, often turns to Sherwin-Williams Pewter Green (SW 6208). “My work tends to be pretty colorful, so these steamed blue/green tones are our version of neutral, which arouse a space,” she says. “It is moody and foggy without taking yourself too seriously.”
