Start with Snowbelt, White Sail, or Grey Mist on the walls, then layer in Soft Sage or Hazel Gaze on cabinetry or built-ins.

Use deep greens as refined accents

Colors like Taiga, Mountain Pass, and Marine are perfect for statement islands, bathroom vanities, or moody offices.

Introduce quiet blues in restful rooms

Morning at Sea or Dew Drop create serene escapes in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Tie everything together with natural textures

Warm woods, stone, matte black hardware, and woven décor complete the Rustic + Refined aesthetic.
