As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, we often find ourselves drawn to colors that bring a sense of calm and rejuvenation into our homes. This May, I’m thrilled to shine a spotlight on Sherwin-Williams’ exquisite Color of the Month: Shitake (SW 9173).

I’m all about creating beautiful, yet practical spaces, and Shitake is a perfect example of a color that delivers on both fronts. Described as an adaptable stone gray with a relaxed beige undertone, it’s that wonderful hue that perfectly balances composure with a casual, inviting feel. Think of it as a light, warm, neutral that embodies refined comfort- a truly versatile choice for your next easy bedroom update or any room needing a sophisticated touch.

Why Shitake is Your Next Go-To for a Bedroom Refresh

This isn’t just another beige or gray. Shitake has a subtle warmth that makes it incredibly inviting. Its balanced undertones allow it to effortlessly complement a wide array of interior styles, making it ideal for those of you looking to work with your existing décor. It can instantly create a feeling of serenity and renewal, as well as bring a quiet elegance to your bedroom refresh.

Shitake also works well with the beloved coastal design aesthetic so popular here in Florida. It’s light warm hue evokes sun-drenched sands and natural textures, allowing you to bring that breezy, relaxed beach house vibe indoors, even if you’re not right on the water. It’s the perfect backdrop for incorporating natural materials like linen, wicker, and light wood, enhancing that sense of calm and connection to nature.
