The right balance between color and neutral tones



Do NOT be afraid to add color to your home!



Decorating a home with a neutral palette is something that has become really popular over the past few years. This for sure creates a serene feeling, but when everything is completely white, and there is not any kind of color contrast, your space can actually start feeling a little plane... Adding some color and texture in your decor will prevent a space from feeling that way while maintaining a predominantly neutral palette. So do not be afraid to add some color!


Color can create contrast against neutral tones, making both the color and neutral elements stand out. Add color to your space through art, pillows, rugs, or through smaller decor items like ceramic pieces. Mixing all those have amazing results! When chosen thoughtfully, colors can harmonize with the existing neutral palette and create a well-balanced look.


Another great plus of adding some color to your place, is the positive impact that it has on our mental health. Colors can influence our mood and emotions. As much as I love neutral tones, I am trying to be more intentional on finding that right balance between color and neutral tones by using different art pieces like landscapes and abstracts, and it is amazing how good it makes me and my place feel - so inviting, calm and happy at the same time!


Remember, the key is to strike a balance between neutrals and other design elements to create a space that feels inviting and visually captivating. Experiment different things to find the balance that resonates with your personal style!
