Want to really infuse your space with energy? Choose one of the happy, California-inspired hues from Farrow & Ball's collaboration with designer Kelly Wearstler. 12 Paint Colors That Will Make You Happier, According to Paint Pros Kelly Wearstler is well-known for her playful takes on high-end interior design, transforming both residential and commercial spaces, like the Santa Monica Proper Hotel. Mixing an elevated sense of style with a free-spirited West Coast attitude, Wearstler is now bringing her signature look to a new collection with Farrow & Ball. Appropriately named The California Collection, the palette includes eight colors: four cheerful hues and four warm neutrals to pair with them. Each of the colors and their names draw inspiration from the Golden State. Take a look at a few favorites, below. Citrona Trevor Tondro Named after the lemon trees found in California, Citrona is a vibrant, invigorating shade of yellow. If you're really bold, paint the entire room—but for a burst of energy that won't overwhelm, brush this hue on an accent wall or on one focal piece that you want to make a statement. Faded Terracotta Trevor Tondro Clay, whether introduced via dyed textiles or terracotta vases, is a super trendy hue. Farrow & Ball offers one more way to embrace the trend: Brush this sun-faded terracotta color on the wall to warm up any room. Consider using it in a dining room where it will provide a rosy glow. Haze Trevor Tondro For a happy hue that's more soothing than stimulating, go with Haze, a blue-gray inspired by the misty California coastline. This is the best way to bring subtle beach vibes to your home, even if you live miles and miles from the shore. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
