Earth Day is officially celebrated on the 22nd of April, and unofficially – every day. Our Power, Our Planet is the theme of Earth Day 2025, inviting everyone to “unite around renewable energy”. For more about renewable energy and other sustainable living ideas, discover articles in Archi-living.com’s Eco Design category.
This interior designer’s article is artistically energized by the renewable energy of Earth’s color palettes during the four seasons of colorful decorating. Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn inspire us with vibrant flowers, greenery of trees and plants, blueness of lakes, seas, and oceans, earthy colors, and snowy-white mountains. The richness of the Earth’s color palette creates beautiful landscapes all year long and renewably energizes our decorating ideas.

Winter Color Palette for Relaxing Interiors
The winter color palette creates relaxing interior spaces in neutral tones such as white and black, and lighter and darker shades of gray, beige, and brown. In addition to neutrals, ice blue can be a base or accent color. For instance, neutral tones can be the base (walls, furniture) for decorative accents in ice blue.
