Dedicated: When Homes Have (Literal) Local Color

[How Homes "Talk To" the Cities They're In] No Images? [Click here] [Apartment Therapy] [Dedicated Email] Homes with (Literal) Local Color We’ve noticed a trend in our latest House Tours: Many of them perfectly convey a sense of place through their color palettes. From the steely ocean blue of a New England kitchen’s cabinets to the bright pinks and greens splashed throughout an LA bungalow, these homes all use colors that epitomize the cities they’re in. We used our [Color Search] tool to break down some of our recent House Tours to show how these homes are truly of their environs. Providence: A Light-Filled 1772 Colonial [Jim and Laura’s Colonial] in Providence’s College Hill neighborhood was an unlikely impulse buy. But the retired couple doesn’t regret a thing, and we can see why. Following a reno, the house features a very New England color story that includes moody marine hues and rich earth tones that complement the house’s patinated floors and original wood beams.

A hot pink rug balances her green foliage while blown glass vases and accent walls in bright cerulean give the space a vibrant personality. It’s Sunset Strip meets Beverly Hills backyard: electric with an earthy touch. [See the LA Palette→] Austin: A Charming 1930s Cottage [Carol and Phil’s East Side reno] is a study in restraint when it comes to color. White stone seamlessly fades into a soft palette of dusty sage, peach, and light lavender walls, but none of the colors compete for attention. It all feels right at home with the nearby Hill Country landscape where live oak groves, lavender fields, and swaths of sagebrush create a mellow palette of silvery green and pale purple.
