Bring Nature Indoors: Using Natural Colour Palettes

Embrace earthy tones with our Stone collection

The move towards warmer, naturally inspired colours is a clear reflection of our craving for cosy, inviting spaces that exude the calming qualities of nature. Our Stone collection presents an elegant palette of graduated shades with warm undertones.

Lute is a timeless neutral that pairs beautifully with our off-white, Slaked Lime. Contrast with resonant greens like Dark Brunswick Green and Pompeian Ash on the woodwork and trim. 

The collection also includes deeper shades that you can use to create restful bedroom schemes. Derived from the bare sandstone of a traditional flour mill, Nether Red has an inherent depth that is balanced with French Grey – Dark on woodwork in this sumptuous haven. 

Walls: Nether Red

Drawers & Door: French Grey – Dark

Create a fresh interior by pairing neutral tones with nature

Invite nature into your home with greenery and decor made from natural materials. Set your botanical accessories against clean backdrops of warm neutrals and off-white hues. Slaked Lime – Mid is extremely versatile and pairs well with many colours in the Little Greene palette. Alternatively, use this warm neutral in isolation, as a backdrop to artwork or other home decoration for a contemporary finish.

Consider painting the ceiling in a shade that complements neutral walls and draws the eye upwards towards a stronger shade. This design works especially well in period properties that have architectural interest, such as ceiling roses and decorative cornicing.

With subtle warm tones, our pale taupe Joanna creates an inspiring study space alongside lush green accessories. These fresh neutrals are also available in our upcycled Re:mix collection, which includes Rolling Fog, Silent White – Mid and Silent White – Deep.

Add tropical warmth to your home with vibrant, sunset-inspired shades 

If you’re looking for something a little bolder, use warm natural paint colours like balmy oranges, yellows and pinks to create schemes inspired by the soft evening sun. 

Masquerade is an alluring, powder pink that provides a beautiful warmth when bathed in dappled natural light. For a more impactful finish that also adds warmth, consider Yellow-Pink or Marigold and accessorise with deeper reds, pinks and oranges.

Be inspired by the true tones of nature using green

Green is the colour of nature. It is a natural shade that feels comfortable within the home. It is a shade that we associate with the tranquillity of the outdoors. There is no better colour than green to cool the mind and calm the spirit.

Variations of greens will tie a scheme together and provide a harmonious feel. Pair a bright, pale green like Acorn with a darker tone such as Hopper to bring the outdoors into the home. 

Using a fresh green with slight hints of yellow for your hallway walls and ceilings is a great way to welcome guests from the outdoors while achieving seamless flow, as it echoes the outside environment. Pair with thriving greenery and tonal furnishings for a cohesive scheme.

Create a wholly different ambience by using moodier, darker shades of green like Olive Colour. This all-over scheme provides a sumptuous atmosphere and utilises panelling for textural depth.

Bring the outdoors in with wallpaper inspired by nature

Whether you use patterned paper on all walls to envelope a spacious room, or create a bold focal point on one wall, wallpaper is perhaps the simplest approach to creating nature-inspired interiors. Use leaf wallpaper prints, dense foliage-based patterns, rich deep woodland hues and earthy, natural shades alongside a myriad of green colours to really bring a sense of the outdoors in.

The design you choose will depend on the character of your space and the desired look. A contemporary, leafy design like Beech Nut adds a certain playful element and creates the most impact when used over a large expanse. Team with large houseplants and wooden furniture in a space with plenty of windows to draw the outdoors in.

Wallpaper murals such as Upper Brook St. provide a complete room transformation, creating the feeling of a temporary escape from ordinary life. This lush and mysterious green colourway truly brings nature indoors, as a living room becomes an inspiring forest setting. The scenic scale creates a sense of space and depth, enveloping the room in a cocooning and restorative atmosphere.

Our leaf prints and woodland-inspired wallpapers pair beautifully with the Little Greene palette, to create characterful and impactful spaces. These design schemes aim to bring freshness into your home, offering a change of visual scenery, and an oasis of green to soothe and calm the mind.
