There isn’t much better than when you're craving a decadent, delicious chocolate dessert and are able to satiate it immediately. There’s beauty in a sweet treat, too—beyond how they taste. The colors of a good, rich dessert are often (almost) as mouthwatering as the treat itself, and they go beyond neutrals and into spaces all their own.
Little Greene, an eco-friendly, family-run paint and wallpaper company, knows this: The brand just introduced its newest line inspired by the most delectable desserts. The collection, called “Sweet Treats,” includes a curated set of nine warm, neutral colors that channel honey, caramel, and chocolate.
“Earthy shades, particularly browns have historically been used for their practicality, and are often dismissed as being dated or dull,” Ruth Mottershead, the creative director of Little Greene, said in a statement. “However, rich, warm colors based on umber and ochre deliver cocooning, restful, and charming spaces.

«We have had a lot of fun developing this capsule collection,» she continued. «The ‘Sweet Treats’ palette aims to challenge the perception that browns are outdated and unusable, providing delicious hues that bring elegance and sophistication to any interior.”
The colors feed a platter of cravings and probably feature at least one of your favorite desserts: Madeleine, Galette, Affogato, Muscovado, Ganache, Chocolate Colour, Bombolone, and more. They were all designed to create a rich and relaxing ambiance. Use the shades as an accent wall or floor-to-ceiling coverage, depending on the size of your space and the kind of energy you’re trying to create in your space.

If you love something, make it flat—that’s how the saying goes, right? When it comes to flat croissants, at least, that’s definitely the case. We all know (and love) the classic flaky croissant, but bakeries and home chefs have taken the pastry to new heights (or lows?) by flattening it and frying it to make it even crispier.

When you think of yellow hues, do you think of flowering plants in the early days of spring, like yellow archangel, golden chain tree, hybrid witch hazel, forsythia, and yellow bird magnolia?
