Incorporating fabrics and textures that resemble materials found in nature help to create a comfortable earthy interior.  Convey an earthy concept by using objects and surfaces made of natural materials such as ceramics, stone,  and clay.  The use of fresh fabric patterns and textures create interest where interiors may be thought of as bland or monochromatic.  The earth tone color palette includes a more interesting range than formerly thought.  From yellows, to reds, to blues in addition to the colors that traditionally come to mind.  Earth tone interiors, when designed well, will be restful and welcoming with a timeless sense of sophistication.
