Free Home Color Palette Template

Get Inspired

When designing your home, there is inspiration everywhere from Instagram, to TikTok, and Pinterest. Use whatever platform you like and start to save the images that inspire you for your own home. If you are doing this on Pinterest make a new board for your home design.

Notice Themes

As you gather the images that inspire you, start to notice the similarities between all the images. Is there a common color? Is there a consistency of textures or accessories? Maybe you have gathered all images with white kitchen or bold living rooms with organic textures. Try to note the similarities in what you are attracted to.

Refine Your Look

Once you have noticed the themes you love, you can narrow down what is going to work for you in your home. Maybe you gathered a handful of themes but can eliminate some because they won’t work in your home.

Let’s say you have defined the themes as modern organic, fun pops of color, and classic traditional. If you recently moved into an ultra-modern home, you can probably eliminate classic traditional. And if your husband hates color, you can rule that out.

Define Your Look

Now that you have refined what look will work in your home and/or the space you are designing, you can start to define what the look you are going for is.

Create a list of colors, textures, adjectives, furniture pieces, and accessories that fit into the style you are defining. This will give you a ton of direction for designing your space.

Create Your Home Color Palette

Now it is time to take your defined look and create your home color palette. Using this totally free Canva template, you can drag and drop your favorite home inspiration images and the colors you want to use. Bonus points if you add in the matching paint colors for the space.

Download the home color palette you created and save it in the images on your phone. When you are shopping, make sure you do not buy anything for your home until you have confirmed if goes with the defined home color palette you have created!
