Decorating with Neutrals (Without Being Boring)
As firm advocates for colourful walls and pattern-tastic furnishings, our go-to hues tend to be bright and colourful. That doesn't mean however that neutrals don't have their place in a bold and beautiful interior, it's the way you use them that makes all the difference. Here are 5 ideas for decorating with neutrals, without being boring.

1. A neutral paint colour can provide the perfect backdrop to colourful cabinetry and personal items. Just make sure to mix textures to keep the design interesting, for example brass hardware and textured tiling, and natural flooring and antique furniture.

2. A neutral palette doesn't need to be plain. Opt for a wraparound mural in a neutral shade to maintain a calm and sophisticated feel whilst still bringing pattern and interest to the interior design

3. Borders are back! So for a bang on trend look, use a border to create depth and interest in a neutral room like @ouroldmanse has done in the kitchen. The space between the worktop and a floating shelf is great for adding pattern to what would otherwise be dead space

4. Use interesting textures such as fabric weaves, wallpaper and objects around the room to keep a neutral palette still feeling warm and inviting

5. Create depth with lighting; the varying shades between light and dark will keep your room feeling interesting and 3 dimensional. Mirrors are also great for bouncing light around the room
