When trying to decide what colors to use to decorate your home, you can’t go wrong with warm colors found in nature.

Boldly painted walls increase the passion in a home, creating rooms that almost glow. Here are seven rooms fully embracing earthy colors to inspire your own nature-colored palettes.
