Julie Terrell Interior Design

A spring palette pulled from a late 19th century textile feels especially fitting this time of year—floral, softly layered, and full of quiet movement.

This late 19th century water-lily textile by American decorative arts firm, Associated Artists, became the starting point for a selection of favorite paint colors: muted olive, chalky white, washed coral, soft ochre, and earthy clay.

I always love how historic textiles can guide a room so naturally. The palette already exists—you simply begin pulling from it.
