Painting walls with harvest colours

Deep reds, full oranges and perfect greens. The season of harvest colours is in full bloom. Find painting inspirations from these transitional season colours!

Leaves are starting to fall, the air is getting crispier. As the season changes from summer to autumn, the final period of harvesting also begins. We usually associate this time period between the two seasons with feelings of a fresh start – a new beginning after the sunny days of summer.

The cosy colours of harvesting can complement your space perfectly all year around. Add colour to your space with crispy reds, warm oranges or vivid greens.

Paint your walls with all-encompassing tones of red and orange

Orange and red shades are essential when it comes to autumn colours. Overlaying your space with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, oranges and reds can be the required touch you're looking for.

When searching for an impeccable orange tone to paint your walls with, go for N405 Terracotta. It’s the perfect combination for the current season and a taste of nostalgia. If you want to go even bolder and have dark red complete your space, choose M425 Beetroot and use it to paint the whole space with the same colour, as in the picture below. It can sound like too much, but the muted red makes the space feel cosy and comforting.

Green shades of serenity for your walls

In the time of harvesting, nature is at the core of everything. And when we want to bring a piece of nature into our homes, we tend to lean towards green hues. Green has the ability to calm our nerves, lift our spirits and create a serene ambiance.

Painting your walls with L447 Sepal is the perfect option when you want a true shade of mid green. This green reminds us of the hue of leaves as we are anticipating them to turn orange and fall ahead of the upcoming winter.

If you are aiming for a more greyish outcome, try M495 Arctic Willow. This is an exquisite hue of green for escaping going full neutral and giving a space the subtle colouring you desire. It reminds you of arctic hills, frosty grass on cold mornings and the scent of crisp autumn air.

Harvest colours for every season

Dedicating a surface in your home to a colour that reminds you of autumn, the season of harvesting, can make the space feel fresh year round. Harvest colours are a reminder of the power of transformation and the sense of change – in us and in nature. They give your space an everlasting sensation of briskness.
