Neutral Colour

I don't realise how strong on colour I am. And it so turns out that I've got a whole load of references and eye candy in no-colour. The neutral: the comforting, the 'bring anything on, I'll hold it' colour, the 'I can even be be beautiful on my own colour', the 'I don't need colour' colour. There is an innate sense of control, calm & elegance in this palette.

A very light touch of yellow in a cushion
Or a tiny blue ceramic cup is the only colour here





Love these black framed silhouettes

And the collection of framed shells in this bathroom
What a huge & gorgeous candle stand
Love these sea horse sculptures
white ceramics....
Leather and logs....

....And these gorgeous black n white globes
are all amazing accesories in neutral colour.

I've been drawn to more neutral colors recently. We've been doing some redecorating around the apartment. It's so lovely to have a clean palette and decorate with spurts of color around that.

The absence of colour, yet the repository of all colours. Neutral is magical, and your post proves just that!

wow! love the sea horse sculptures and the white ceramics :)

talking about colour, i believe any colour - be it bright or neutral - can lend beauty to a space. You just need to be able to do justice to it through your way of blending it right with all the other elements.

Neutrals are essential for the colors to pop. I love the shot of the pair of yellow lampshades. I want them!
