6. Universal Khaki & Sand Layers
Sherwin-Williams’ “Universal Khaki” is the grounded mid-tone of 2026. This scheme is all about “Linen Layers”—using various shades of beige, sand, and khaki to create a cocoon-like environment that feels like a high-end desert resort.
- How to Make: Layer your textures. Use khaki-toned plaster on the walls, sand-colored stone on the floor, and light beige towels. The lack of contrast is what makes this feel “dreamy” and expansive.
- Items to Make: Universal Khaki wall plaster, sand-textured porcelain tiles, beige waffle-weave towels, and pampas grass decor.
