Carolina Preserve Refresh
What We Did: Furnishings, Paint, Lighting, Artwork, Area Rugs, Window Treatments, Décor
We treat neutrals like colors-not defaults. We designed the palette of warm and cool neutrals to wrap our client in a sense of calming comfort, while still feeling fresh and modern. We added pops of yellow in the living room and hints of orange and aqua in the sunroom to enliven the spaces and create visual interest.



The Color Palettes
Entry / Living Room: Grays, cream, yellow, warm wood tones
Master Suite: Pale gray, blue gray, brass, warm woods
Sunroom: Cream, pale gray, warm gray, black and white photography, hints of orange and aqua
