neutrals with texture


This is by far my favorite genre of design. I have a pinboard specifically dedicated to the topic, as I hope to always keep this mantra front and center in my mind while adjusting my own home.


For me, there's just something very sensory about layers of textures paired with neutral backdrops and surroundings.  And since we get to work with pops of colors all day long, sometimes you want something to refrain from color.  The textures then help the colorless things come alive.

  4. I love how the room is uncluttered and the plants are large scale and really make a statement. Beautiful.

  5. I love neutrals too, but didn't realize how hard it is to pull off well until I tried it in my current house. Texture, that is the key!! Love your inspiration images.

  9. I had always wanted lots of colour in our home, but I have found that the last few years I am lightening up. i feel so much calmer in a neutral space; and as you pointed out, the layers and textures make all the difference.
