Beautiful Neutral Color Palettes

2104 Cedar Elm Terrace, Westlake - a Briggs Freeman Sotheby's luxury home, Update Fort Worth 3

Posted August 16th, 2012 | by The Update

Whoever said neutrale were blasé? With the right palette of toned-down hues, you can create a dramatic effect that is both elegant and welcoming.

Here are a few ways to incorporate a beautiful and breathtaking neutral palette into your home:

Soft and Striking Living Room

Why These Colors Work: Looking at this room of subdued peaches and tans, you might not think “contrast.” But the accent pieces — end tables painted Lancaster Blue and a round tray coated in Babouche yellow — are in complementary colors that bring just enough modern pop to the formal setting.

Hint of Spring in the Dining Room

Why These Colors Work: Lavender brushed on the bases of tabletop domes adds dimension to the earthy gray-green palette of this dining room.

Cool and Collected Office

Why These Colors Work: Among the easiest colors to add to a room, grayish blue greens are layered here to create a calming effect in a home office.
