This is one of the most actual color trends in Interior Design. Tone-on-tone palettes feature one primary hue and add other graded tones within that scheme to match the color composition. You can use different paint on your walls and complement them with furniture, textiles, and accessories. The trick is staying within one hue and making it a story with less contrast possible.
For today’s post, I have decided to concentrate on three hues, leaving behind usual palettes such as greys or off-white to spark a bit of your imagination.
Let’s begin with a more feminine style that has been popular over the last few years. Pale pink and nude shades have been evolving, so you can choose today between a more comprehensive scheme, yet all gathered under the Cosmetic Color Scheme umbrella.
Colors range from blush copper tones to more earthy hues depending on the atmosphere you’d like to achieve.

Green Walls are a theme that is on point right now. We have been writing about it a few weeks ago with thousands of repins (to my surprise), and that talks about how widespread this paint color is. Sometimes, all it takes is to write a post about it and test its acceptance. :)

Everything surrounding the Green Movement started in the Interior Design World 3-4 years ago, and it’s no wonder we finally paint our walls in this same color regardless of the tone we choose. After all, it’s easy to change after a while, right? Painting walls is probably the less risky investment in your home, getting a different look when you tire of a specific color you once loved.

One of the most ingenious tricks here is to blend in your furniture with your walls. The paint market has grown a lot and offers many trending colors today. Paint companies even set trends for the Interior Design industry, and many of us follow their recommendations.
They also get great coverage from stylists such as Lotta Agaton, who has been working with tone-on-tone palettes for the past 12 months, bringing proposals to product catalogs, magazines, and blogs and helping to spread this fab style.
