The Power of Personal Color: 2. The Perfect Balance of Neutrals
Here's another nursery space, but the "neutral" in this case is grey in various tones...
This nursery space is quiet, soothing, and elegantly neutral...nothing cutesy or kitschy about it...
Quiet whitewashed wood tones on walls and ceiling trusses and pale slip-covered furniture make a small narrow space look less cramped
Stark contrasts in light and dark combined with natural textures of wood and linen make a space that is subtle and soothing...
Here's a similar color scheme punched up a couple of degrees...
Here's a beautiful and soothing tonal palette.
It can't get any calmer than silver and white...
I love the faded colors on these chairs...against the faded colors in the wall, they make a quietly neutral color scheme...
Black, white and taupe...glass, tin and weathered wood...a sophisticated combination of rustic textures makes a relaxed setting.
This almost total lack of color relies on natural textures instead to produce a quiet, calm, cozy, but quirky space...
I like the muted colors and textures here...The small dose of burnished gold on the table elevates the simple materials around it.
I love the sophisticated color scheme of this well grounded but brightly lit space.
I love the serenity of the natural textures here...
This richly elegant color scheme employs deeper toned neutral shades...
Soft ethereal color...
Pale quiet colors visually expand this tiny built-in daybed...
What a quietly elegant color scheme...
Limed wood, limestone floors, plaster coated walls, white slip-covered furniture, a fireplace, pale painted wood accents...what's not to love?
The book title says it all...
Wood, iron, and white...
Wonderful...
Rich texture...
Note the texture and details...the galvanized metal bucket base on the lamp, the weathered wood frame on the wall above the bed...the iron bedstead...the small wooden chest...the crisp bed linens...the tapestry upholstery on the bench at the foot of the bed...so much texture would be overwhelmed with brighter colors...
Luscious chocolate and mocha...
Sophisticated neutrals...
Oh, what fun!
Texture carries the whole scheme...
Pale and relaxing...
Wood paneled walls set the background...
Lovely...
The neutral tones paired with white and organic textures make this entry way comfy, fresh, and inviting.
The color scheme in this space is soothing...
Earthy naturals...
I love the stone walls, wood slat ceiling, simple fireplace and floating shelves, linen slipcovers and Roman shades...with the neutral color palette all the textures really have a chance to shine.
I love the quiet tones in this room...especially the rug and the armoire filled with pottery...
More natural textures with white...
A quiet cozy nook...
Pale...I might actually like some contrast between the cabinets and walls...say a cooler white on the cabinets to pull them away from the wall a bit...
Sophisticated Neutrals...
Subtle touches of faded color in accents only heighten the wonderful use of neutral tones in this room.
I love the color scheme on this cabinet and its contents...
A clever play of earthy neutrals...
This is all about texture....
Pillows and artwork lend touches of color...
This space utilizes neutral tones to achieve a bright, serene, sophisticated space...there is nothing dull or bland about this room despite its "lack" of "color".
