Dallas commercial photographer, Monika Normand here – back at it again with more interior design color palettes!

This round is brought to you by the latest prints in the Wish You Were Here Print Collection : Greece (also known as my new favorite place). This past June I traveled to Santorini, Paros, Mykonos, Athens, and more to experience and relax in the cool and colorful, coastal vibes. As a brand photographer, I focus on color palettes and how they represent clients’ brands when it comes to everything from what they’re wearing in a shoot to the colors present at the locations we shoot in. These brand color palettes of Greece are fresh off the press, and I hope they inspires you in all your interior design and decorating!

Here are 14 color palettes that will transport you and your home to the Greek Islands.

SAILBOATS & SEAGULLS

Paros, Greece was one of my favorite places. Besides devouring the food, I spent a day on a boat admiring the crystal-clear water, you could literally see straight to the bottom, which inspired this calming, yet bold, color palette of turquoise, greenish blues with pops of gold, perfect for a kid’s bedroom as they dream and imagine their own adventures at sea.

vibrant vines

Pink lovers, this pallet is for you! The vibrancy and harmony of these bright pink blooms is an instant transport to happiness. Paired to pop with cool grey tones, this print and color palette will shine bright in your walk-in closet (think velvet pink ottoman), or your daughter’s bedroom. There’s also nothing wrong with seasonally rotating your art the way you rotate your throw pillows. This print would make your room the center of attention beginning in February’s month of love.

cats of greece

It doesn’t matter if you’re a cat lover or a dog lover, you can’t help but to look at this photo and not feel the calm of these colors. This sleeping beauty’s golden and white pattern against a classic rustic green door, is a favorite. These shades are soft and soothing and great for all main living areas- main living, dining, or kitchen.

deep blue bay

If you’ve ever been to, or even Goggled, “Santorini,” there’s no denying it’s sharp contrast of colors like the deep blues and stark whites. I’m obsessed with this print and palette- when the light changes throughout the day the vibrancy of the colors change. In the sun the blues look bluer and the olive-green glows. At night, the colors deepen and soften into a total mood. It’s the perfect color palette for anywhere in the home and the colors are timeless, perfect for classic paint on the walls, fabrics, or even cabinetry and bookshelves.

a color wheel of silk scarves

This is the perfect print and palette for your craft room, powder room, closet, bedroom, or anywhere that needs some brightening up. These vibrant hues from the shops of Mykonos will bring about inspiration and creativity to your home or office.

like the wind

Ever visit a place on your bucket list and then immediately re-add it to the bucket list? That was Mykonos for me. The grand scale of these windmills, or flour mills, reached sky-high making this color inspo a collection of soft sky blues mixed with contrasting greys and green, great for your everyday connected rooms of the home like entry ways, hallways, and main living.

HOME SWEET SANTORINI

Blue, the official color of Greece. This royal blue and complementary coral makes for a fun burst of modern design. It’s perfect for a household or office with plenty of personality.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

You can’t go wrong with this classic, modern, chic, color palette. The softness of this print transports me right back to Santorini, looking out on endless miles of gorgeous blue water. Paired with pillow soft creams, grey, and a bit of deep navy. Santorini Coastline I and II would make a great addition to any home and any room in the house. It’s like a breath of fresh air.

ORANGE YOU CUTE

I love a good pun like I love this life saver in the middle of the turquoise sea. This is a perfect conversation piece and perfect palette for a little boy’s room or even a study, or den. Anywhere with natural light will really make this piece pop.

A LITTLE RUST = A LITTLE TREASURE

There is something about walking the historic, narrow pathways of Greece and passing countless colorful old doors, one after another; you can’t help but to wonder where they lead to. Each of the colors have a story and while they are worn, they are also vibrant. As a commercial brand photographer, I love photographing and capturing treasures like this and I have other doors in my Wish You Were Here Collection to check out in case you want a colorful and thought-provoking gallery wall with a theme.

BLUE DOORS

Oh Santorini, your blues do not disappoint. This palette features a pairing of blues that you’ll never get bored with. Throw in a pastel pink lavender-like throw blanket and some gorgeous green plants, my favorite- and you have the ultimate room to relax in. Whether in a living room, bedroom, or bathroom, design your room using this color palette to make it picture perfect.

NEUTRAL CREAMS

The whites, creams, and tans of the buildings and homes of Santorini make a neutral color palette versatile- it can be cool and airy paired with baby blue or warm and inviting matched with deep greens. For me, this color scheme is also my dream laundry room or office- both places where I seem to spend a lot of time.

LEAVE THE LIGHT ON

At first glance you might think- brown wood shutters, ok. But, I urge you to look again and admire all the beautiful brown wood tones, the grain, contrasted against a stark white wall. This piece transports you and makes you think… what’s beyond the shutters? That kind of thought and imagination makes this print and palette perfect for an office, den or study. For a 3-dimensional interior design idea, hang this photo on the exterior of your wooden bookshelves to add to the illusion.

GOLDEN PEACH CENTERPIECE

This energetic pop of gold stands out in the most glorious way when paired with its complementary blues. A family of creamy beiges grounds the space. Decorate in this color palette to make the perfect kids’ room and/or hang this gem in your entry way as you come and go to start your day on the right foot – sunshine and all.
