Behind the Mood Board: How We Build a Summer-Inspired Palette

By 7116201214 • July 1, 2025

There’s something about summer that invites lightness—whether it’s a sunlit room, a fresh color scheme, or the feeling of breathing easier in your own space. At KB Design, our summer mood boards are built to capture that energy and translate it into spaces that feel as refreshing as the season itself. Here’s a peek behind the scenes at how we craft a summer-inspired palette that’s both timeless and tailored. 1. Start with the Feeling, Not the Color Before we pull swatches, we ask: How do we want this space to feel? For summer, that usually means words like airy, casual, layered, and sun-washed. From there, we start to translate that feeling into tones and textures. 2. Pull from Nature Some of our favorite summer palettes are inspired by: Coastal moments – muted blues, driftwood taupes, sandy creams Fresh produce – watermelon pinks, basil greens, and citrus accents Desert tones – terracotta, clay, and sun-bleached neutrals Nature never gets it wrong, and it helps ground our designs in something that feels organic and calming. 3. Balance Neutrals and Pops A common summer mistake? Going too bold. We always build a neutral foundation first. Think warm whites, soft grays, or textural linen tones. Then we layer in pops of seasonal color (just enough to energize the space without overwhelming it.) 4. Mix Textures Like You Mix Drinks To keep things fresh, we layer a variety of light, breathable textures that bring movement and depth to a room…just like a perfectly balanced summer cocktail, it’s all about the right mix! Linen + Rattan: A crisp linen sofa paired with a woven rattan accent chair instantly evokes relaxed, beachy elegance. Woods + Wovens: Light oak or whitewashed wood tones mix beautifully with jute rugs, seagrass baskets, or cane-front cabinets. Soft Throws + Pillows: Lightweight cotton throws and textured pillows in varying weaves keep your sofa or bed visually layered but seasonally appropriate. The goal? A space that feels like a summer breeze, effortless and layered. 5. Make It Personal Every client brings their own version of summer to the table. For some, it’s beachside nostalgia; for others, it’s travel, gardens, or family barbecues. We always fold those personal stories into our palettes to keep them meaningful, not just stylish. Want Your Own Summer Mood Board? We’d love to create a seasonal look tailored to your space. Whether you’re refreshing a living room, designing a vacation home, or simply looking for color inspiration, we’re here to help bring summer home. Click here to book your exploratory call today.
