We have made a selection of our favorite rooms decorated in neutral tones and we leave you the best keys to decorate yours. The decoration of our living room is one of the most important. This room is the nerve center of our home and that is why we have to give it the attention it needs. All the inhabitants of the house converge in the living room and it is the first impression that people who come from outside receive. In addition, it is one of the areas where we spend the most time and that is why we have to make it as beautiful, functional and cozy as possible.
Whatever decoration style you choose for your living room, there is a color palette with which you will always hit the mark and that is the neutral tones. With the combination of these colors we are able to create a grated-style living room ideal to enjoy with the family. Of course, one of the precautions that we must take when decorating our entire living room with these types of colors is that we run the risk of creating a flat space without personality. To avoid this, we leave you the best keys to combine these colors and achieve a sensational living room in neutral tones.
KEYS TO DECORATE THE LIVING ROOM IN NEUTRAL TONES
The first thing we have to differentiate is that neutral tones are not synonymous only with the Nordic style , all the decoration styles that you can imagine can be reinterpreted in this color palette. The way to use these tones is very simple, you have to go from the lightest to the darkest, that is, a white or beige base, the main furniture in gray or earth colors and the accessories in more intense tones such as black. In this way we achieve better illuminated spaces with a feeling of greater spaciousness.
Give your walls personality, using wallpaper, changing the color of a brick wall, with strategically placed paintings … Look for the pieces to which you want to give prominence and, even if they are in neutral colors, that have their own style. In this case it is usually the sofa, the armchairs or the coffee table. Do not give up the plants in your living room, the green tones will contrast perfectly against the neutral palette. And don’t forget to dress your floors with rugs to give it more warmth.
