Why We Love Upward

Relaxed: Upward has a gentle presence that never overwhelms a room. It softens the space while still feeling intentional and refined.

Breezy: This pale blue reflects light beautifully, helping rooms feel open, fresh, and full of air. It is an ideal choice for spaces that crave brightness without stark white.

Classic: While it feels fresh and modern, Upward has lasting appeal. It is the kind of color that feels just as right today as it will years from now.

See How We Brought Upward to Life

1. Simple Serenity

Upward shines when simplicity leads the design. Its soft blue tone brings a quiet energy into living spaces, creating an atmosphere that feels light, open, and grounded at the same time. The color naturally evokes coastal calm, making it a beautiful choice for rooms inspired by the sea, sky, or open landscapes.

When paired with deeper accent tones, such as a rich marine blue, the space gains balance and depth. This contrast keeps the look from feeling too light while maintaining a relaxed, lived-in warmth

Get the Look: Natural fabrics, mixed textures, light wood tones, greenery

2. Keeping it Casual

Upward feels right at home in relaxed dining spaces and modern coastal interiors. It works as a clean, calming backdrop that allows natural materials and simple furnishings to take center stage. The result is a space that feels casual but still thoughtfully pulled together.

Paired with woven textures, soft neutrals, and natural wood finishes, this color brings an understated sophistication that never feels forced. It is an easy choice for homeowners who want their space to feel inviting, comfortable, and timeless.
