Given our 2024 Idea House’s idyllic location in the waterfront community of Kiawah River on Johns Island, South Carolina, it just made sense for designer Allison Elebash to pull the palette from the surroundings. “Often, my natural instinct for a color palette is brighter greens and blues.

From the scullery’s rich purple cabinets to the primary bedroom’s welcoming sage paneling, here are eight nature-inspired paint colors Elebash used to coax the outdoors in.
