Color Palette

The base of this design scheme starts with neutral shades of white and taupe to set the stage for a well-balanced design. Colorful hues like rust, brick and navy blue add warmth and character and can be used all throughout your home. Matte back accents are also introduced to help ground the space and solidify the design.

Furniture

Contemporary silhouettes play a large role in shaping this design scheme and selecting furniture to achieve this look. Consider choosing neutral upholstered pieces like your sectional or sofa, dining chairs and bed to ensure your home looks effortless yet sophisticated. Lighter wood tones work well for the various tables and accent pieces and help keep the design looking modern and fresh. 

Accents

Choose decorative accents that complement your furniture selections and bring your home to life. One simple yet effective way to do this is by highlighting your walls and adding visual interest – either with textured grasscloth wallpaper or creating a feature wall with wood trim slats. Feel free to go even more bold and paint the walls a deep navy blue to add some drama and refined moodiness to a room. Bring in matte brass accents in the form of hardware on side tables, display cabinets, bookcases and accent chairs.

Décor

Add bold décor pieces to your space to complete and style this scheme. Opt for more modern light fixtures, like chandeliers, sconces and lamps in neutral or metallic shades. Bring in bold artwork to highlight the rust and navy color palette, with modern abstract prints, and add a few sculptural accent pieces such as vases, bowls and potted plants.
