Recent “Colors of the year” by major paint companies were terracotta-based and so suited to the Southwest. This beautiful tile represents the inspiration one looks for to begin the process of pulling together enough samples of floor coverings, fabrics, tiles and accessories for an entire area or home to have continuity. The search for inspiration is the most critical step in the design process. Neutral floors will give the continuity needed and the adjoining spaces may have the darker color tones, the lighter, blue added or not. We don’t change our homes yearly so color preferences usually emerge as we age. With this consistency of choice you can surround yourself with your collection, change it up with smaller accents, seasonal and holiday additions and move with your favorites making it home!
