Every year, color trends offer a glimpse into where home design is headed next. For 2027, Behr is bringing things back to nature with Grounded (T27-01), its newly announced Color of the Year.

Grounded is a mossy olive green with earthy brown undertones, designed to bring warmth, depth, and a sense of connection to nature into the home. The color can shift between olive and moss depending on the surrounding light, making it a versatile backdrop for a variety of spaces and design styles.

Why Grounded Works in the Home

One of the reasons Grounded stands out is its ability to make a statement without feeling overwhelming. Behr describes the shade as inspired by the restorative qualities of nature, reflecting a broader movement toward interiors that feel warm, comfortable, and lived-in.

Its subtle brown undertones also make it easy to incorporate natural materials throughout a room. Warm woods, woven textures, soft fabrics, and earthy neutrals can all complement the color while adding dimension to the space.

That makes window treatments a natural place to continue the look.

Woven Shades: Add Natural Texture

For a room inspired by nature, woven shades are an easy pairing with Grounded.

Made with materials and textures that bring warmth to a window, woven shades can soften the deeper olive tone while reinforcing the organic feel of the space. Natural browns, warm tans, and lighter woven finishes create contrast without competing with the wall color.

They can also be layered with drapery for an even softer, more finished look.

Drapery: Keep It Soft and Warm

Grounded already brings plenty of depth to a room, so drapery is an opportunity to lighten things up.

Cream, ivory, oatmeal, and warm beige fabrics can provide a beautiful contrast against olive walls. A textured or linen-inspired fabric keeps the overall design relaxed while adding softness around the windows.

For homeowners who love a layered look, pairing drapery with a shade underneath can add both style and flexibility for controlling light and privacy.

Roller and Solar Shades: Keep It Clean

Not every room needs additional texture. If the rest of the space already includes wood, stone, greenery, or patterned fabrics, a simple roller or solar shade can balance everything out.

Warm neutral fabrics work especially well with Grounded and allow the wall color to remain the focal point. Solar shades can also help manage glare and natural light while maintaining a clean, minimal appearance.

Wood Blinds and Shutters: Lean Into the Warmth

Because Grounded contains earthy brown undertones, it naturally works alongside wood finishes. Behr also highlights the color's ability to complement natural materials such as wood and stone.

Wood blinds or shutters can bring additional warmth and architectural detail to a room. Depending on the space, you could choose a natural wood tone to emphasize the organic palette or a lighter neutral finish to create more contrast.

You don't have to redesign an entire room to embrace a new color trend.

Whether Grounded becomes the color of your walls, cabinetry, an accent wall, or simply inspiration for a more nature-inspired palette, the surrounding materials help bring the design together.
