The Feeling is Neutral....
One interior design trend that has stood the test of time is the use of neutral colours, especially for larger surfaces such as walls and floors. Neutral colours such as beige, white, grey and black have been popular in interior design for many years because they are versatile, timeless, and can serve as a backdrop for other design elements.
Neutral colours can create a sense of calm and sophistication in a space, and they also allow for more flexibility in terms of furniture and decor choices. Additionally, neutral colours can make a small room feel more spacious and a large room feel more cozy.
While the specific shades and tones of neutral colours may change over time, the overall trend of using them as a foundational element in interior design has proven to be enduring.
Benefits of a Neutral Colour Palette
Using a neutral colour palette in your home can create a serene and sophisticated ambiance that's perfect for any style.
Neutral colours can have a calming effect, which is perfect for creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in your home. This can be especially helpful in rooms like the bedroom or the living room, where you want to relax and unwind.
Neutral colours also provides a backdrop that allows you to add pops of colour, pattern and texture to your decor without overwhelming the space. This means you can easily switch up your decor without having to repaint your walls or replace your furniture.
Neutral colours work with any style, whether it's traditional, modern, or eclectic. They're a great choice for those who like to change up their decor frequently or those who prefer a minimalist style.
Neutral colours can make a space feel larger: Lighter neutral colours like white, cream, and beige can make a room feel larger and more spacious. This is because they reflect more light and create an open and airy feeling.
How to add Interest to a Neutral Colour Palette
When using a neutral colour palette in your home, it's important to add texture and depth to avoid a flat and boring look. You can do this by using different materials like wood, stone, or metal, and adding layers with textiles like rugs, throws, and pillows. This will create a warm and inviting space that's both comfortable and stylish.
Adding textures like linen cushions or woven throws in the summer, and fabrics such as faux fur and heavy woollen throws in the winter can add interest and depth in different seasons too.
Mixing in antique or vintage items with patina or texture will add another dimension to a neutral interior. Style shelves and table tops with books, ornaments and sculptures that have a rustic charm. Take a look at some of our cushions and furniture which could help you to add that all important texture to your room.
