This fall, neutrals are more stylish than ever, and interior designers are loving this trend in every room in the house. A neutral palette creates a tranquil sanctuary in calming shades of white, grey, and beige. Let us walk you through a home of neutral hues, and you can see for yourself how well this trend adapts to a variety of rooms, styles, and spaces.
Below, a kitchen by Architectural Kitchens awash with white and light. The cabinets, walls, and ceiling are all the same shade, but the room does not look monotone or boring. Instead, the white tones are balanced by slightly darker greys in the mosaic tile backsplash and dark brown in the hardwood countertop. With such a light palette, the space looks large and expansive.

Grey, often overlooked, is one of the most popular neutral shades this fall. In the Carter & Company living room below, we see a dark grey on the walls, complemented by white and gold moulding toward the ceiling. There are lighter shades of grey on the chairs and throw pillows, creating a room whose uniform palette allows for more experimentation with unique room accents like the gold mirror, crystal chandelier, exotic floor lamps, and large white urn.

Neutrals also work in the simpler, more contemporary Benson Interiors living room below. The cream shades combine beautifully with the white walls and white stone fireplace. The celestial blue accents create a heavenly retreat.

The light palette lets pops of color shine through, like in the side table arrangement below. The fuschia hue stands out beautifully against the otherwise uniform color scheme.

For bathrooms, neutrals are always a good idea. The white, ivory, and grey tones below make for a clean, crisp, and calming space.
