Sherwin Williams announced their pick for the 2019 Color of the Year to be Cavern Clay SW 7701. An earthy throwback to mid-century modern design, this shade is a “warm terracotta color, with ancient, elemental roots.” Inspired by sun-soaked afternoons, deserts, canyons, and beaches, this robust color is a definite crowd pleaser. Not only does it bring the rich elements of the outdoors inside, but this playful hue is perfect for warming up any space.
Are you loving Cavern Clay as much as we are? Here are three easy ways to incorporate it into your own home design.
Decorate with Home Accents
Not everyone will be ready to jump on board with a full commitment to Cavern Clay. Luckily, there are some easy ways to add this nature-inducing tone to your home without too much of an investment. The answer? Accent pieces like area rugs, throw pillows, and blankets. When selecting decor pieces, look for ones that play well with the desert and elemental inspired patterns. Don’t be afraid to mix and match this shade with complimentary materials like simple wood grains and leathers, either. Doing so adds an extra level of dimension to the finished design.
Add A Splash of Color To Your Kitchen
Cavern Clay can also be incorporated into kitchen design in a variety of ways such as painted walls and kitchenware. However, selecting backsplash or accent tiles featuring this terracotta hue is an unexpected way to spice up your kitchen’s design. Opt for tiles with a bold pattern to really evoke the desert feeling. To complete the look, use succulents or cacti in pretty pots to tie in the outdoorsy elements of this shade.
Wall to Wall Color
Go bold with this earthy color by using it to paint your entire space! Homes with floor to ceiling windows are perfect for this design choice. Since this color was inspired by outdoor elements, combining it with a window wall will help to bring the natural elements of the outside into your home and create a stunning finished design.
