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!

    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.

    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!

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. 😊.

    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.
