NEUTRALS + Pops of Color & Pattern

lolakimono — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 11:47:56 GMT

I know many of you prefer neutrals and just a hint of color or pattern. I like patterns and colors with a hint of neutrals.

How about some rooms with mostly neutrals and some pops of color, like these?

@SoX - this looks like something that you would like.

Yes, I like them! Especially the living room.

Yes, I do like ... my LR and DR "canvas" is completely neutral (beige) ... walls, drapes, carpet, sofa, and one fabric chair. This gives me a chance to run wild, stay soft, go bold ... whenever the mood strikes.

I change pillows and throws and table cloths at least four times a year ... I also use rugs to change the tones within each area.

There's such a range with color, its intensities and tonalities. I tend to like soft, sort of "off-colors", so the bright neon orange in the first picture would not work for me-- but easily subtracted from that comfortable room.

I find the chartreuse in the neutral kitchen to be refreshing and playful, and I like the soft celery green in the room with deep chocolate walls...

A pop of color in a neutral room (or outfit, for that matter) makes all the difference! Gives it style and personality.

It is so much fun to see what color can do.

Nope. No pops for me!

I wouldn't choose to replicate any of the rooms, though each of them has some appealing elements. Although I love orange, I do wish they'd not have chosen 'safety' orange as the pop of color in that first room. It's really pretty garish. A less intense orange would have worked nicely,

This is my home.........off white walls and light carpeting with pops of color.

I like this one with the dark brown walls, not that I'd ever paint my walls this color, but it's traditional, classy and looks inviting and comfy.

I would like this one better without the turquoise painted wall. And the deer heads have to go. Why are so many rooms showing animal parts lately? I’ve noticed that often when I look at Internet photos.

I like the color mix here but not the furniture style.

None of them are particularly attractive to me.

II wouldn't be comfortable in any of those rooms.
