One colorway that is really calling our names from the collection is the “Fool’s Gold.” It’s the perfect mix of warm mustard, earthy ochre, and burnt-golden orange. It feels almost like a neutral in our eyes and can work year-round. "Fool’s Gold" pairs well with other warm earth tones, soft neutrals, and even a bold contrast color, like black. You can see it here styled flawlessly in Carol Estes Design’s home as the ultimate grounding and textural base. So on that note, we thought it would be fun to give you all a couple of styling ideas and décor pairings so you can nail a foolproof “Fool’s Gold” look in your own home. Happy shopping, friends!
