21. How to Build a Whole-Home Color Story

 One of the most common design mistakes homeowners make is treating every room like its own world - different colors, different moods, no clear connection. The result? A home that feels disjointed instead of intentional. In this episode, I'm walking you through the process we use at Ashley Morgan Interiors to create a whole-home color story - a palette that flows gracefully from room to room, balancing harmony, individuality, and surprise. From defining your base palette to understanding undertones, layering variations, and weaving in that unexpected “signature note,” you’ll learn how to use color as a storytelling tool that shapes not just how your home looks, but how it feels. Whether you’re designing your forever home, refreshing a few rooms, or simply craving more cohesion, this conversation will leave you inspired to look at your home through a new lens - one that celebrates connection, emotion, and timeless design.
