Peach and Tan

There are some colours we haven't seen working together much recently. Peach and tan is  much warmer than the hyped yellow and grey at Decorex.

These two shades are perfect colours to live with over a long time. Soft, earthy, subtle. There is nothing manufactured about these tones.

Dark wood furniture works better than lighter woods in this colour scheme.

A more subtle, tending towards a pinky hue, is this scheme. The deeper coral throw and cushions blend perfectly with the tan/ light taupe bedding.

Again older and darker furniture works better.

There is a lot I like about both schemes. Classic, timeless, warm and very tactile.

  1. I totally agree. These two colours work together beautifully with the darker vintage coloured furniture. What I cant work out is why the wall colour doesn't look out of place when it isn't teamed up with anything else in the picture. (just curious)

  2. I think because mahogany works incredibly well with blue. Use that as starting point then add the contrast coral and taupe. If you look at a colour wheel the coral tones are directly opposite that shade of blue.
    ps thank you for leaving comment!

  4. It's a combination of colours, print and look - it's layers, print page, , you will get it.

  8. turn the handle: Good Shower faucet handle in the rotation, there is no switch over between the Pull down kitchen faucet and the gap opened and closed easily unrestricted, non-skid. Not only can poor quality Bathroom accessories gap, blocked feeling too great.
