Home Styling 101: Bringing Neutral Tones to Life

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we can’t get enough of the calm and relaxing feel that a neutral colour scheme delivers.

While we love the way neutral tones can create a relaxing environment, they can also be fun, energetic and full of life! A neutral colour scheme in any home is a blank canvas. All you need to do to bring some energy and life into it is switch it up! Here’s how:

Mix and match. To bring your neutral colour scheme to life, mix tones, take advantage of different materials and play with patterns.

Opposites really do attract! Create depth within your neutral colour scheme by mixing opposite textures. Try offsetting rough with soft, shiny with matte and coarse with smooth textures.

If you are lucky enough to find yourself submerged in a dream view like this, you’ll want to do it justice! Here are our top tips on how to decorate a room with a view:

Less is more! Keeping your room design airy and uncomplicated is key. This way, the eye will be drawn to the beautiful view outside without distractions taking away from your incredible view. Here’s how to keep it simple and airy to let your view take centre stage:

• Stick with an op​en layout and limit the use of furniture and accessories. This will keep the eye on the prize (AKA that gorgeous view) and away from any distractions.

• Keep the view unobstructed. In line with having an open layout, it’s important to keep larger pieces out of the way when making the most of a room with a view.

• Be neutral! Colour schemes play an important role in the design of a room with a view. Giving your view a neutral colour scheme gives the view a chance to be a true centrepiece. This will allow your surrounding furnishings to compliment, but not take away from, that gorgeous view.
