A Nuggety Styling Guide: Cactus Edition

Cactus adds a pop of color to any room — and unlike its prickly, real-life namesake, the Cactus Nugget loves to cuddle up next to other Nuggety colors. From our classics to newer Limited Edition colors, here are a few ways we suggest styling Cactus in your home and alongside other Nugget hues.


1: Cross the Color Wheel 

Apply one of the cornerstones of color theory to find the best pairing. Greens, like minty Cactus, pair well with Rodeo, Redwood, and the retired J&J Rust.

Create a Southwestern vibe with terra-cotta, rusts, sage, and Cactus. Balance with neutrals like ivory, bright white, and brass or gold tones for a well-rounded look.

2: Partner with Pastels

Offering multiple colors, some bright, some light, creates a feast for the eyes.

You can go with the same color family for a monochrome look, or add a touch of gentle pinks or purples to cross the color wheel with a pastel. Pick one large piece as the more saturated pop of color (like a Cactus Nugget!) and use more hued down colors to compliment. We love partnering Cactus with Daybreak, Sweetpea, and Mayberry.

3: Pop of Color

Let your Cactus shine in the spotlight as a pop of color in a neutral room. Ivory, whites, and navy all offer a solid foundation for Cactus to thrive where planted.

Of our classic hues, we love pairing Cactus with Submarine. Harbor is a nice option as well!
