Daring Color Palettes Inspired by New Orleans’ Vibrant Architecture
If you’ve ever seen photos of the houses in New Orleans, you know a wide-ranging, daring mix of colors adorns this city’s architecture. Any time I stroll the streets, I’m inspired to get bold in my own home. Even those these color combinations are on the outside of these homes, consider these pre-made palettes direction for the inside of yours. In this post: some of my favorite colorful snaps I’ve taken around New Orleans + examples of how the color palette could be applied to a room + more rainbow inspiration from our Color Search tool.
