No matter the season, I am consistently finding interior design color palette inspiration from the nature outside our windows.
Mother nature can teach us a lot about balance, texture, repetition, shape and pattern.
I am so mesmerized by nature’s inspiration. After being away from it for so many years, I live for the weekends we spend in the hills of Litchfield County.
With each season, a new color palette emerges, and I find myself smitten with a new favorite. Which one is yours?
All of these images are moments throughout the seasons that I have witnessed in our backyard. The fabrics are all available at one of my favorite lifestyle boutiques: High Falls Mercantile in High Falls, New York.

Lovely post, Amy, and interesting idea. It reminds me a little of a post Sally Wilson did here last year, drawing room palettes from bird plumage: http://blog.nehomemag.com/2011/03/sally-wilson-live-a-colorful-life/

A great way to appreciate our winter season by observing bright colors pop out against the snow cover. Wonderful images.

The time in nature has a color
Through these floral and linear patterns, it is clear in this post, with a unique aesthetic sensibility, the art of interpreting and transfer it to our everyday habitat.
Fantastic presentation Amy! -
My favorite is the second one with the mushroom and bright green grass. Beautiful! Nature is definitely our most invaluable color teacher.
