Natural Living

Open the door to NATURAL LIVING for breezy barefoot comfort.

Like fresh air spilling through open windows, this collection floats across the threshold separating inside from out. A natural extension of gardening fervor, the blurring of lines brings organic materials, wicker furnishings, floral prints and weathered copper indoors, and takes furniture, textiles, carpets, kitchen accoutrements and lighting out.

Use color to unify home and garden. When an interior room opens directly into a garden enclosure, this trend allows you to take the opportunity to extend a color theme from one realm into the next.

Building on that, Sherwin-Williams blows through the color wheel, splashing ocean into rooms using Candid Blue, capturing the night sky with Indigo and tapping an orange suggestive of Aztec clay. Wherever and however applied, these colors are nature's ambassadors, erasing the divisions between interiors and exteriors.

Rustic woods, tumbled stone tiles and aged copper give rooms the air of a terrace garden. Augment the colors of surf and sand with beach motifs, distressed finishes, raffia and plants.
