A popular colour palette amongst all ages, neutral colours are easy to match with and a classic that goes well with any design aesthetic. However, with so many people going for the minimalist aesthetic, overusing neutral colours can make your home look dull instead of clean and visually pleasing. Find the right balance between neutrals and colours to create the perfect harmony for your space.
Here are four ways to elevate your neutral home interior and spice it up.
1. Use bold colours and soft shades
Rather than using white and beige as your neutral colour palette, you can also try incorporating bold and neutral shades such as navy blue, emerald green, or charcoal grey into your interior design. Using only one neutral colour on the walls makes the room feel flat and monotonous.
Instead, use a mix of different neutral colours for a subtle contrast or mix it up by incorporating soft neutrals with bold colours. The combination of colours creates a contrast to create a cohesive colour palette that is both striking and visually appealing to look at. Even with a subtle contrast of colours, it is enough to enhance the white walls to a visually appealing room. If you are feeling adventurous with your room interiors, try adding a pop of colour to keep things interesting!
2. Balance warm and cool undertones
Play around with different undertones to reach your desired home design. Depending on the colour undertone, it can affect the overall look of your home design. The undertones can be split into two categories: warm and cool undertones. The warm undertones, including red, yellow and orange, evoke a warm and cosy atmosphere. In comparison, the cool undertones that include blue, purple and green give a calm and soothing atmosphere. When both undertones are combined equally, it can create a neutral undertone of grey, beige and brown.
When choosing which colour you would like for your walls or the colour palette for the design, it is important to understand the undertones to create a cohesive colour palette that works well together and creates a harmonious, visually pleasing design. Try to achieve a nice balance between the two undertones to prevent the space from looking too sterile or dull.
3. Layer your decors
Don’t underestimate the power of layering! Layering is a powerful method to add textures, patterns, colours and a unique touch to your home interior design. Layering the decors together can add different textures, patterns and colours, bringing depth and dimensions to the space. You can try adding a textured rug to make the space more visually appealing or play around with different finishes, such as matte or polish, to create shadows and textures.
Other than adding depths and dimensions to the space, layering gives you the chance to showcase your personal style by adding unique decorative elements. Choose pieces that reflect your personality and make it unique to your home. Even small details can transform the space into something unique.
4. Make a statement
From statement pieces to accent walls, these striking pieces create a dramatic effect on the space, capturing the attention of anyone walking by. When paired alongside the neutral interior designs, it creates a balance between the classic neutrals and the drama of the statement pieces to elevate your home. The eye-catching statement piece can add personality and character to any space.
Conclusion
Play with different colours, textures and home decor to create your perfect home interior. When designing your neutral home interior design, avoid making your home look flat by striking a balance between the neutrals and colours to create contrast and add depth. With the right balance, you will be able to create a home that is both minimalistic and unique to you.
