HOW TO DECORATE WITH NEUTRALS LIKE A PRO
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Decorating with neutrals is so much more than choosing beige, white, and gray. Its definitely an art form and it can take a bit of practice to get right. In today's video I am sharing my top tips on how to nail the neutral home of your dreams. I am going to go over how to choose your color palette, where to get inspiration for a color story, how to design your space by getting the right pieces of furniture as a foundation, and I show you lots of examples on how to incorporate these tips!
Some of these photos may not be exactly YOUR interior design style but I still believe they can serve as inspiration for you when you start to incorporate these tips for your own home. Decorating ideas can come from a variety of places so when I see a great photo I always save it just in case I need to reference a styling technique or furniture piece that I was inspired by. I hope you enjoy the video!

The photo of the canyon was a great way to explain how many neutrals work together harmoniously. Thank you for that tip!
Arvin is a Masterclass interior designer👏🏻 This is priceless information that only Arvin can deliver to his people! Great subject: neutrals. Great examples: light/dark, tactile texture, different shapes. No one does it better.
Arvin, you have definitely found your calling! Every video is a winner!
Neutrals need not be boring! I am so glad you talked about playing with contrast, layers and textures. Makes for a more visually enjoyable space.
Your attention to detail is phenomenal. The examples you choose are always perfect.You exude confidence without being arrogant and this allows the viewers to have the confidence to find their own personal style. Kudos!
When you pair old and newer pieces they highlight each other’s differences and the result is a home that’s truly original. Now a days, people get too caught up in trends, only to realize a year later that it already looks so dated. Thank you.

I love how you get so excited when a room comes together beautifully !!!
I am obsessed with your channel. How do you not have 1m subs? Mystery to me!
The canyon photo was so nice to see - it proved a point I had thought about a lot - when not sure about what colours to put together , look at nature … land , rocks , plants , the inside of flowers even - it works - 😊😊😊💜
Yes you are the queen of decoration
I love how you show people ELEVATION! Not just that neutrals are “safe”. The focus on this video is actually about decorating a home and making it your own. Another great video 🙏🏽❤️
Thoroughly enjoyed the solid content instead of the usual advertising/promotions. Loved it!
For my own home I prefer really old things which are practical and mostly on display. I mix in a few modern things to keep it fresh, especially in paint colors and combinations. Thanks for highlighting the contrast and showing such great examples.
I like how he explains the designer’s pictures and gives it context so us non decorative people can learn! Thanks !!!!! More of this please you are a wonderful teacher!
There’s not a single video I’ve watch from you so far that I didn’t find helpful. You provide us with wonderful ideas.
Nobody asked - but I love you -- so many helpful, well explained points and visuals, all delivered with such genuine enthusiasm - it is contagious
I discovered basing a room on 2 complimentary neutrals like herbal lavender and soft turmeric. Then using dark and light natural metals and woods along with tapestry and weaves that incorporate some of the purpley and gold colors.. walls always a soft white adobe. Then you can use deep teals and eggplant and ruby as accents easily. Also plants look superbly at home.
I’m just waking up from an interior design slump of the past few years where I’ve now looked around and realized that I no longer feel happy with how my home is decorated. So I’m on a shopping/redecorating journey again and your insights have been really helpful and exciting to think about.
This video totally spoke to my soul ✨ I love using texture/varied neutrals/shapes to add depth to my neutral home. I have been moving away from “accent colors” for a while to create more spaces where I use a variety of neutrals to play off of each other beautifully. Amazing video, Arvin 🙌😍

God when I start decorating my house I wish I had an Arvin to say oh no girl you need this to elevate your design and make it WOW!
You really walk us through the process and explain everything SO WELL!!! What you give us is so much more than just your opinion. You are the BESTA!!!! ❤️
Ginger and Marble have absolutely beautiful colour palettes! lol Also inspired by nature
Shapes, contrast, gradients...you’re speaking directly to my heart. 🤍
Guilty! I'm using white, gray and taupe throughout my home. And even though I love this calm, neutral palette, I felt I was missing something. This was very helpful! Thank you for sharing!
Let's be honest... we are ALL asking at this point. Love you and I'm here for all the content! ❤️

Thank you for a non-white example! I’m not certain yet exactly how I’ll designing my new, small space next year but I’m so tired of white and light wall examples, but still want it to be soft and elegant and dynamic. 🙏🏼
This video is a masterpiece. You can watch it every day to be inspired. Thank you for sharing with us.
Yes, I get it...I’ve always done this. My uncle’s home was always a mix and it just seemed “right”. He was an avid gardener as well and his flower gardens were like an extension of his home using unexpected elements here and there. I just realized from your video why I’m like I am about decorating!❤️ Also, I want to make a throw pillow from your sweater!😍
Ah, now I know what I did wrong with my furniture, too many squares. I should have purchased round tables....I see it now, thank you. And it did just feel wrong but I did not realize what was off about the space...so excited to learn new ideas and make the changes you are teaching...
This is an excellent video on how to decorate with neutrals like a pro!! I have already watched it 4 times and I learn something new each time I watch. Thanks for such a quality video. This video in my opinion is one of your best videos!!

A neutral interior is the best for experimenting with design and finding your personal style. It also is key to combining styles and that's why my desert minimalistic vibe lives harmoniously with my husband's Pennsylvania Dutch flavor. My home feels curated and not just about a bunch of "stuff" having to compete, This was a great video; nailed it!
Helpful! There are lots of things that I understand intuitively from my study of art, however, I’ve never seen an analysis of what makes a room design come to life the way you presented it. Thank you!
You make design concepts very digestible. These are the stuff I learn in architecture school but you explain them so well. You're a good teacher, I'd say.
Yayyy Arvin! Another wonderful video, I'm loving all your tips thank you!
NOBODY ASKED but I'm Scottish and I could listen to Arvin all day!!!🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💙💙💙💙💙!
Very helpful, Alvin. I am going to replace a couch I regret purchasing and add some throw pillows. I'll use your advice when I select the pillows and a rug I need for another room. Thanks so much for your expertise!
Never disappoint!
Superb! All videos shown by you is just an education for me. Uhm loving you more each day Arvin!!
Thank you for breaking it down!! Decorating for dummies!! Now I can look at a beautiful room and know why I’m drawn to it!! Thank you!!
yessss and texture in the small details (like in the woodwork) ! I like it when you cannot grasp everything in one look and you always notice new details !
I love these new weekly series that you are bring on your channel. Love when you show example of what you are telling us. Thanks keep it coming.
Arvin you are so good at telling us how do upgrade our decor styling 👏💕👏
This was the best video. Packed with great info! I worry about how to keep a neutral pallet from being boring - you, dear Arvin, have shown us how in so many different ways. Love all the various contrasts. You rock!!
Great tips! I might not be able to travel to these places, but adding interesting things to my space will make others think that I've been all over the world!!! THE MESSAGE I RECEIVED FROM YOUR VIDEO...MAKE YOUR HOME TELL A STORY WHEN YOU'RE DECORATING!!! IF IT'S BORING TO YOU, YOUR GUEST WILL FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! TFS!!!
Love that video! The mountain picture in the beginning, is a great example! 😊
Would love to see you show us poor examples of interior design and then you tell us how you would fix it 🤔 just a recommendation

I'd love help with my fireplace 😭 we're fixing up our house and the stone on the bottom is so big uneven and bulky but the fireplace itself is small so I don't feel like doing the whole thing in stone would look good but the contractors never removed those bottom ones so I'm completely lost lol

Definitely agree with the texture and contrast aspect of neutrals. Love it 😍
This video was epically amazing! Thank you for taking the time to find the pics that drove home the points you were making.
So happy I found this guy.
I am so obsessed with your videos and learning so much. Sending love from Singapore! Went and bought some vessels to start my decorating. ✌🏼
We just finished our basement and it's coming close to decor time. I'm learning soooo much from you! Love it!
Such a great video... I have a beautiful white sofa, against white walls, with brown armchairs.... I needed inspiration and I cam across your video.. Thank you very much for the great ideas :-)
Neutral colors are my favorite.This vidio gives me more information as i am in a process of decorating my house.🙏
Thank you for the great tips. I love decorating with different shapes. I have a Noguchi coffee table in my living room and that shape goes perfectly with my clean lined mid-century couch and chairs!
best way to start the month ....by watching your latest advise :)
Arvin! !!!! Boy! YOU our the best...my house now is a Wow ....keep up the great work with your knowledge of decor...
I really enjoy your style,, and look forward to your videos. For 17 years my last home was in beiges, golds, browns and creams and rust. And basically fairly traditional. After 17 years I got it out of my system. My new redo is soft grays, blacks, white, gold, silver in accents. And I just love it. Contemporary now. It’s sleek and stunning, but yet inviting. I know how much you love the neutrals. But I feel like my home is still neutral in the new tones I’ve chosen. 😊.
Arvin and this channel is the best thing discovery for me and my home!
Your exuberance is so refreshing and fun! ❤️

LOVE everything about this video!
Watching you from France, the way you pronounce "Toile de joie" (Joie means joy in french) instead of "Toile de Jouy" is cute 😊
Could you make a video like this for jewel tones, please? 🖤

He only does neutrals. He is a one trick pony and it isn't much of a trick unless you like cheap Ikea textiles and beige. This is the blind leading the blind. He doesn't use the correct terminology for color. He says tone when he means hue. He has no training whatsoever and his place is not well decorated. He can't even decorate a bookcase correctly.
Thanks for the tips! I know for a small apartment, I should go with neutrals but I'm drawn to deep and dark colors. I look my best in dark navy, black, and white clothes. Could you please do a video about modern, chic and dark colored interior tips? Like for an urban professional male in his early 30s.
We’re buying our first house in LA, and I want it to look gorgeous! I promise I’ll watch every single video on your channel, Arvin. I wish I could get you as a designer for my space 😩
This was beyond helpful. I am such a neutral "safe" person when it comes to style. This will definitely help me spice up my space while staying true to myself. ❤
Favorite video of all! So enlightening, inspiring. Many thanks.
