I’ve always believed that the spaces we live in and the clothes we wear should feel like an extension of who we are. But recently, I learned just how true that can be.
I had my color analysis done not long ago, and I’ll admit—I went into it with a bit of hesitation. I found out I’m a True Spring, and at first, I wasn’t quite sure what to think. My mind jumped to bold brights and saturated colors I don’t usually gravitate toward. But as I spent more time with the palette, something shifted.
Those soft, warm, cozy tones I’ve always been drawn to? They were right there—creamy whites, honeyed neutrals, apple greens, sky blues, peachy blush, and buttery gold. The same colors that already fill my home, from our golden wood floors and warm brass hardware to the vintage quilts draped over the end of a bed.
And that’s when it hit me—our home has been wearing my “season” all along.
Why This Connection Matters
We often think about home design in terms of trends or what looks good in a magazine, but when the colors in your home mirror the ones that make you feel your best, everything feels more natural and welcoming. It’s the same reason you feel more confident in certain outfits—the tones are working with you, not against you.
How to Reflect Your Color Season in Your Home
This isn’t about starting over or filling a cart with new décor. It’s about noticing the shades you naturally reach for—whether in your closet or in your home—and leaning into them.
If you’re a True Spring like me, that might mean:
- Warm, light neutrals as a base (think cream instead of stark white)
- Pops of fresh greens and blues that feel like new growth and open skies
- Soft, sunlit golds and blush tones for warmth
For a True Summer, you might find yourself drawn to dusty blues, gentle grays, and soft lavenders. Autumns often love rich golds, terracotta, and moss greens, while Winters shine in crisp whites, black, and jewel tones.
The Joy of the Overlap
For me, realizing that my personal color season and my home’s palette already overlapped made everything click. No wonder I feel so at peace in these rooms—it’s like stepping into a space that understands me. And it’s a reminder that the best design choices aren’t about rules, they’re about listening to what feels right.
A Final Thought
If you’ve ever had your colors done, take a look around your home. You might be surprised at how much your favorite rooms already reflect those same tones. And if they don’t, try weaving a few in—through pillows, artwork, or even fresh flowers. Sometimes, the smallest shifts make a space feel unmistakably yours.
