Re: NEUTRAL ROOM OPTIONS

[ Edited ]

 

@Oznell , I thought it was interesting and unconventional that they did the cabinets on one side of the fireplace a different color than the cabinets on the other side of the fireplace.  Both colors pick up the cool and warm colors of the fireplace stonework.  I like it and think it works (also think one color would look nice too, but think I prefer how they did it).

This IS unusual with those built-ins, @QVCisFun .   Hmmm, I'm wondering if it could just be the light, that's making them look different colors?   Would be interesting to see in real life...

 

Axel Vervoordt is a leading exponent of Belgian style, or Belgian farmhouse style, and a lot of his interiors look like Old Master paintings!  Very talented. 

 

Some of the Belgian style rooms that have caught my eye:

It's very muted, but can sure evoke a mood.

@Oznell , I too wondered if it could be the lighting causing it to look like different colors, but concluded that I think they are different colors.

This is from Stonegable blog. She did a spring tour of her home.

 

I love how well the rug, drapes and accessories go together.

 

Beautiufl floors.

 

I like the combinations of light and dark neutrals with various prints.

Great images, @Iwantcoffee !   How fresh--  I think she did a great job with her spring renewal.  I also like that her beautiful wood floors are richly 'medium-toned', to contrast nicely with all the white.   Very pleasant atmosphere!

Really like the neutrals and the blues together in this room, great synergy:

Oh, agree, @QVCisFun ,  beautiful.  Those are great shutters, too.

@Oznell  , agree, love those shutters!   Also like the wood framework of the couch, looks good with the couch color and also kind of matches the shutters too.

I like most of these rooms because there is a bit of color mixed in with the neutrals. 👍
