Taste Palette: A Summer Salad

Filed under: Color, Your Home, Design, etc

Recipes are built around flavor, not color. So what happens when we draw decorating inspiration from the color palettes of our favorite foods?

This week: A delicious summer salad whipped up by Style department Product Manager Marisa Todd.

We wanted to get the fresh, organic look of all the bright colors and calming whites into a dining room.

First up -- vivid green paint for the walls to capture the pale green of the pear. Then punch things up with a cheerful area rug with flecks of strawberry red. The Chippendale chairs pay tribute to the moody green of the avocado while the pale brown, round dining table and fluffy white chandelier mimic the colors and textures of the alfalfa sprouts.
