Color Palette
This design scheme utilizes a neutral color palette that mixes shades of grey, beige, white, brown and black. Blending all the various shades together is effortless and makes a maximum impact. An all-neutral home is anything but boring with layered hues, textures and materials.

Furniture
When selecting furniture for this design style focus on modern silhouettes to complement the neutral color palette. Upholstered pieces like your sofa, dining chairs and accent pieces should embrace the creamy white and beige tones in a variety of textures and fabrics. Choose performance fabrics to minimize the worry about stains and spills. For casegoods and wood pieces select light wood tones like white oak and pine as well as black painted wood and iron ore or metal.
Accents
Add in accent pieces to complement your furniture selections and pull everything together. Don’t be afraid to go bolder on the walls- use wallpaper in a geometric or abstract neutral pattern or install wood trim detailings painted to match the palette. Bring in warm textiles in the form of pillows, curtains and rugs to ground your spaces and create a cozy home.
Décor
Finish your home’s interior spaces with thoughtfully selected décor that ties the look together. Choose light fixtures, like chandeliers and lamps, that feature modern shapes and lines in black metal with glass accents to ensure a cohesive look. Embrace large-scale pieces for your walls, with modern abstract paintings, mirrors and black and white photography. Finally, incorporate a touch of greenery throughout the space to keep the design feeling fresh and inviting.
The Muted Monochromatic design scheme brings luxurious modern style to your home with a neutral color palette, layered textures and stylish silhouettes. Follow our steps to achieve this look in your home and feel free to put your own spin on it!
