The Key Rules for a Neutral Living Room

Neutrals are no longer boring. Neutral living rooms can not only be relaxing and calm, but they can also be full of life and energy. The secret is in playing with patterns, using a variety of complementary undertones, and mix fabrics and materials. Follow the FurnitureCart’s list to make your neutral living room irresistibly charming.

1. Relaxing Retreat

If you are up to create a relaxing atmosphere, a neutral sectional is just the right choice. To overcome the blandness without sacrificing the relaxation spirit, add a few contrasting artworks or/and the focal accent furniture to match the living room set. It will save a minimalistic mood and create comfort without causing visual clutter.

2. Add Texture and Pattern

The neutral color scheme always welcomes a variety of patterns and textures. They help to make the room more dynamic: shiny and matte, rough and soft. Think about the typical Danish ‘hygge’ created through this rule. Welcome textures like cable knits, linen, faux fur, and suede in your neutral family room, and mix them bravely.

3. Luxury and Sophistication

These two secrets take a neutral room to a new level. Accent your neutral living room with luxurious details. Reflecting surfaces and mirrors, glass-and-metal occasional furniture, chrome, and silver add a due tone of taste and style. Not a big secret today, the sophistication is easy to achieve with neutral tones.

4. Coziness Rules

If you feel like your neutral room needs a touch of warmth, the Furniture Cart team knows what to do. Here are a few ways to accomplish this: use soft textures, add accent pillows, opt for warmer tones of neutral (i.e. brown instead of cold gray; brass and bronze instead of silver), add wood tones and the wood itself. The latter adds depth to any space, so make space for some wooden occasional tables in your shelter, or opt for furniture with wooden legs.

5. Stay On-Trend

Whether your home decorating style tends to be modern or contemporary, a neutral color scheme should be the one to consider. Neutral colors like beige, grey, light brown, camel, and monochrome palette seem to have been created for mid-century modern and contemporary decor. Still, keep in mind that you will have to play with a variety of textures and contrasting undertones to keep it diverse and interesting.
