Honeyed Patina 🤎 May’s Color of the Month There’s

Honeyed Patina 🤎May’s Color of the MonthThere’s a quiet shift happening in interiors right now away from cool minimalism and toward something warmer, more personal, and deeply lived-in.Enter Honeyed Patina (#E1A163).A burnished amber that feels softened by time, this isn’t the bright, golden amber we’ve seen before. It’s deeper. Moodier. More nuanced. Like aged brass, worn leather, or sunlit resin; colors that carry a sense of history.As the amber color trend of 2026 continues to rise, we’re seeing this tone emerge as a new kind of neutral. One that brings warmth without heaviness, and richness without excess.It lives beautifully in:– velvet upholstery– cognac leather– amber glass– hand-glazed ceramicsAnd pairs effortlessly with:soft creams, muted sage, deep teal, and warm wood tones.This is what design is moving toward: color that feels collected, not applied; layered, not perfect; warm, but quietly so.Explore the full story + palette direction on the blog.Link in bio.#HoneyedPatina #ColorOfTheMonth #AmberInteriors #InteriorColorTrends #WarmNeutrals #DesignInspiration #IndigoAndHoneycomb #ColorStory #EarthTonePalette #InteriorStyling

🌼 Soft Maximalism — Mid-Spring Series By mid-spri

🌼 Soft Maximalism — Mid-Spring SeriesBy mid-spring, color reaches its fullest expression.What begins as light in Vernal Tides, deepens through wild botanical layers, and softens into romantic interiors now comes together in something more dimensional, more personal.This is where soft maximalism interiors take shape.Not cluttered. Not overwhelming.But layered. Intentional. Collected.Think:rich teal with warm ochreberry tones grounded in earthsoft neutrals elevated with a single bold accentThese layered color palettes don’t compete, they build. Texture, tone, and contrast come together to create spaces that feel expressive, yet refined.Minimalism didn’t disappear. It softened and learned how to layer.Part of the Mid-Spring Color Palettes 2026 series on Indigo & Honeycomb—exploring how color moves from light → nature → emotion → expression.#IndigoAndHoneycomb #SoftMaximalism #LayeredInteriors #MidSpringColorPalettes #Spring2026Trends #ColorStory #InteriorInspiration #DesignTrends #ExpressiveInteriors

🌸 Poetic Whimsy — Mid-Spring SeriesBy mid-spring, color becomes something more personal.After the airy light of Vernal Tides and the grounding layers of the New Botanical, the season softens again. This time into something more intimate, more expressive, and quietly romantic.This is where poetic whimsy begins.Think:sun-washed floralslace and eyelet texturesfaded tones that feel gently lived-inThese romantic interior color palettes don’t feel styled. They feel remembered. Colors blur at the edges, materials carry subtle age, and nothing feels overly refined.Not perfection—patina.Not new—remembered.Part of the Mid-Spring Series on Indigo & Honeycomb exploring how color moves from light → landscape → emotion → expression.Next: Soft Maximalism 🌼#IndigoAndHoneycomb #PoeticWhimsy #RomanticInteriors #MidSpringSeries #ColorPalette #Spring2026Trends #InteriorInspiration #SoftLiving #DesignInspiration

🌿 The New Botanical — Mid-Spring SeriesAs the season shifts, color returns to the landscape.After the airy, light-filled tones of Vernal Tides, mid-spring begins to ground itself, moving into something richer, more layered, and alive. This is where botanical color palettes evolve.Not perfectly arranged. Not overly refined.Instead, the new botanical feels slightly wild like overgrown gardens, California super blooms, and landscapes shaped by nature rather than design. Greens deepen, florals emerge, and earth tones anchor the palette in something real.Think:wildflower fieldseucalyptus and claygarden shadows at duskThis is color that doesn’t try to match.It gathers. It layers. It grows.Part of the Mid-Spring Series on Indigo & Honeycomb exploring how color moves from light → landscape → emotion → expression.Next: Poetic Whimsy 🌸#IndigoAndHoneycomb #MidSpringSeries #BotanicalColorPalette #NatureInspiredDesign #Spring2026Trends #ColorStory #InteriorInspiration #WildGarden #ColorPaletteInspiration

🌊 April Color of the Month: Vernal Tides (#D7EFFF)

🌊 April Color of the Month: Vernal Tides (#D7EFFF)There is a moment in mid-spring where winter doesn’t fully disappear. It simply dissolves into light.Vernal Tides captures that in-between space.An icy, softened blue, it reflects the quiet shift from weight to atmosphere where color becomes lighter, airier, and more reflective. Inspired by receding glaciers, coastal stillness, and the pale clarity of longer days, this hue sits at the intersection of cool-toned calm and early spring awakening.It’s not stark. Not cold. Not distant. Instead, Vernal Tides feels diffused like light passing through water, or sky just before it fully opens into spring.Moving deeper into mid-spring, this is the color that defines the transition:from winter’s final echoto spring’s first true breath.#IndigoAndHoneycomb #VernalTides #ColorOfTheMonth #Spring2026Trends #ColorPalette #InteriorInspiration #SpringColorPalette #DesignInspiration #CoolTones #MidSpringVibes

The rise of Brontë-core is bringing a new kind of romance to interiors.Inspired by windswept landscapes, candlelit rooms, and the emotional depth of classic literature, this emerging design trend embraces moody color palettes, layered textures, and spaces that feel storied rather than styled.Think deep botanical greens, stormy blues, heather-toned accents, weathered wood, and warm lighting that creates an atmosphere of quiet drama. Instead of bright minimalism, Brontë-core celebrates interiors that feel intimate, reflective, and timeless.In our newest blog story, we explore:• What the Brontë-core aesthetic is• Why it’s trending in 2026• The color palettes defining the look• How to bring this romantic style into your own homeIf you love interiors that feel literary, atmospheric, and a little mysterious, this trend is one to watch.Read the full story on the Indigo & Honeycomb blog.

✨ Design Trend Spotlight: Neo Deco Have you notic

✨ Design Trend Spotlight: Neo DecoHave you noticed the return of glamour in interior design lately? The rising "Neo Deco" trend brings the elegance of 1920s Art Deco into modern homes with a softer, more livable approach.While classic Art Deco was known for bold geometry and dramatic contrasts, Neo Deco reimagines those elements with curved silhouettes, layered textures, and calming color palettes. The result is a style that feels both sophisticated and approachable.On the blog at Indigo & Honeycomb, I’m exploring the inspiration behind the Neo Deco design trend, the history of Art Deco, and how this iconic style is being interpreted in contemporary interiors.I also created three Neo Deco color palettes featuring two recent Colors of the Month:Quiet Bloom: a serene botanical neutral (#E8DCCD)Frosted Blush: a soft romantic pink (#CDBAB6)Together they create palettes that balance vintage glamour with modern softness.If you love interiors that blend history, color storytelling, and timeless elegance, this trend is one to watch.Read the full story and explore the palettes on the blog.#NeoDeco #ArtDecoRevival#InteriorDesignTrends #ColorStory#ColorPaletteInspiration#IndigoAndHoneycomb#InteriorColorDesign #DesignTrend

March Color of the Month: **Moorland Reverie** 🌿

March Color of the Month: **Moorland Reverie** 🌿This March, spring takes a darker, more romantic turn. Instead of the delicate pastels that typically define the season, 2026 is embracing deeper, moodier greens inspired by windswept landscapes and historic interiors.**Moorland Reverie** (#0F5E4F) captures the richness of mossy stone walls, shadowed forests, and the dramatic beauty of the moors described in novels like *Wuthering Heights* and *Jane Eyre*. The result is a green that feels grounded, atmospheric, and quietly powerful.This hue reflects the growing influence of Brontë-core—a design aesthetic inspired by the literary worlds of Charlotte and Emily Brontë. Think layered textures, candlelit interiors, and spaces that feel storied rather than styled.Why we love it:• Deep botanical greens are leading **spring 2026 color trends**• It adds architectural depth to walls, cabinetry, and built-ins• It pairs beautifully with parchment ivories, aged brass, oxblood leather, and weathered woodSpring doesn’t always arrive in pastels. Sometimes it emerges from the moors.Save this color for your next project and follow along for more color inspiration from Indigo & Honeycomb.#ColorOfTheMonth #MoorlandReverie #InteriorColor #SpringColorTrends #MoodyInteriors #GreenPaint #ColorInspiration #InteriorDesign #DesignTrends #IndigoandHoneycomb
