Everything you need to know to get the right Tuscan color palette!
The choice of Tuscan colors can seem overwhelming when you first think of Tuscan-style décor. Toscana colors, if selected the right way, can work quite well! Since the colors of Tuscany come from mother nature, I often refer to this as a guide that makes this process much easier.
The warm shades of red, yellow, green and brown are natural earth tones that clearly represent true Tuscan color. The fabulous colors that I enjoy, and have used in my home, are burgundy, olive green, warm brown, and yellow gold. This blend reminds me of a family owned Tuscan vineyard. Another wonderful palette is the pale gold, sage green, rust red, and cream color combination. The rust red reminds me a lot of relaxing on a Tuscan farm. I enjoy home décor in Tuscany the most because I can associate each room with a part of Italy that I love. Design with this in mind when choosing Tuscan paint.
Simple ways to find a “functional” Tuscan color palette is through Tuscan art. Often when I think of Tuscan décor, I go out looking for art by decorating the home in the Tuscan style. From the paintings, I can collect the particular colors of the artwork that the artist has chosen. Many times while browsing stores these paintings stand out and the color palette catches my eye, making it easy to figure out what will work and match well in the room I choose to decorate. Another simple way to choose Tuscan colors is through Tuscan tiles.
Especially when designing Tuscan kitchens, tile is a great way to start deciding on Tuscan kitchen colors. While you’re in the tile shops, you could possibly be looking for tiles to decorate your farmhouse dark wood table, or you could be shopping for tiles for your Tuscan kitchen backsplash. Again, extracting colors from particular mosaics will get you on the right track when choosing Tuscan colors. These tiles can also help you with your Tuscan color selection when selecting Tuscan kitchen accessories.
