Living room with soft pink walls and double stripe

Bring the richness of nature into your home with warm, natural colors

Our Raw palette takes inspiration from the richness of nature’s designs and raw materials. Straw, wheat, woody brown – these are colors that can give your home an instant flavor of the wild.

Raw colors reflect the richness and creative potential of the natural resources and designs we see all around us. Inspired by the warm tones of dried grasses and harvested crops, these are shades that can bring rich natural colour into your home but that won’t overpower a decorative scheme. 

In the world of floristry, dried flowers are known as ‘everlastings’ and these tones, too, have a timeless feel. Perfect for bringing warmth and depth to a space, they look good on their own or used in combination with each other or with Taubmans Colour of the Year 2023 Wild WonderTM.

Try these four decorating ideas to bring the Raw palette to life….
