Do it! layer UP Neutrals

-

1 Comfortabl­e and easy to live with, gentle neutrals create a calm and sophistica­ted mood in a space and can be built up in layers to add depth. 2 Pick your neutral base – warm neutrals have a red or yellow base, while cool neutrals have green or blue as their base. Think about how much light your room gets, and the room’s aspect (whether it faces north or south) when choosing your shades. 3 While neutral schemes are good for a natural and timeless look, they can look flat and dull without the all-important introducti­on of textures. Mix in finishes like rich woods, exposed brick and luxe fabrics for depth and interest. 4 Combine neutrals with a hit of monochrome for something a bit bolder – black accents are a great way to add a modern edge to a neutral backdrop.
