Elegance in Neutral Shades: Adding Depth by Blending Calm Tone Accents with Dark

 

Warm neutral colour combinations are a great way to provide coziness to a large open-plan area. Use gentler browns, such caramel and mocha, as your feature hues and a creamy off-white wall colour, like linen or natural calico. You might use these deeper colours as accents in furniture and accessories, or you could make an eye-catching feature wall.

In addition to layering colour, you can create layers of comfort in a space by combining various textures and finishes, such as glossy flooring, matt walls, and plush leather. One creative technique to define the various regions of an open-plan home is to contrast the rich, dark furnishings with your pale walls. Add a touch of texture to your space with plush cashmere throws or sisal rugs.

Decorative accessories can be utilized in addition to furniture to provide depth and interest. A mantel or side table might benefit from the visual interest created by a collection of vintage vases or candles in various shapes and sizes. A framed mirror or a work of art can help give the space more depth.

The key to layering neutrals to create an elegant living room is to make the area seem cozy and serene while simultaneously using well selected textures and accents to provide depth and intrigue.
