Colors and decorating are so subjective. One man’s tasteful is another man’s tacky. I think of pastels, palm tree prints, and flamingos as a Florida cliche, but some can make that look work.
I am partial to earthy jewel tones, dark woods, and stained glass that are hallmarks of the prairie and mission style for which my hometown is known. I’ve incorporated bold accent walls, abstract prints, and art glass into my decor in an eclectic fusion of styles.
Our exterior paint is a “builder beige” sand color, but I freshened the look with a bright red front door.
I’m sure my decorating choices would make some people clutch their pearls, but we like it. To each their own.
