Despite my lackadaisical attempt to get some raking done
in my yard this morning, I'm really glad I put in the effort to get it
accomplished. The much needed exercise
and the crisp autumn air invigorated my soul and opened up my mind to some fresh
new ideas.
As I was picking up the leaves, I noticed just how beautiful
they were. Although they were void of
all the early fall oranges, yellows and reds, they still maintained a certain
appeal despite their monotonous palette.
While my design aesthetic usually takes on a quiet sophisticated vibe, I always manage to
incorporate one bold color to spice up the neutral palette. To some, neutral may sound dull and lifeless,
and images of beige everything comes to mind. But who says beige has to be boring?
Neutral interiors are timeless and classic, and
there’s nothing mundane about that. In fact, neutral interiors are
chalked full of character in that you’re essentially bringing nature into your
interior spaces. There’s a sense of serenity when a balanced scheme of
whites, beiges, grays, taupes, chocolates and charcoals are put together.
A room with this color palette soothes and relaxes the soul. The
incessant mix of these neutrals is appeasing both to the eye and the mind.
One might think that this color combination might be monotonous and drab but
the key to working with neutrals is to incorporate as many different textures
as possible to achieve the ethereal beauty your home deserves.
