Santa & Cole's Babel table lamp features a solid alabaster base and hollow shade

Incorporating neutral shades into your home does not make you dull. Prove the naysayers wrong as you find ways to infuse warmth and vibrancy using a white, black, beige, grey and brown palette. By adding vibrant accents of yellow or orange, you can enhance your home décor. 

Working with a skilled designer can help you achieve a warm ambience by blending soft beige undertones with striking pops of colour. Neutral tones often pair beautifully with natural materials like stone floors, oak doors, marble countertops and hardwood furniture in interior design.

Here are some ideas for bringing that warm glow and a sense of calm into your living space.

Get Chatty

Influenced by street graffiti, this sofa pays tribute to the vibrant urban art scene and captures the essence of casa (home). The Chatty sofa offers comfort and warmth, reminiscent of designs like Gufram’s Bocca Sofa by Studio 65 from the 1970s. It seamlessly blends nostalgia with modern style.

Cushion comfort

These Hermes cushions, made of hand-embroidered cashmere, result from exceptional craftsmanship. A thin wool cord is patiently applied using an embroidery hook to draw the lines and colour fields of the motifs as if with a pencil. 

Have a seat

The Vitra Panton chair and Visiona stool — two creations designed by Verner Panton — receive a new lick of colour through the interpretation of Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis. These chairs are limited edition pieces, with only 50 available per colour. The new seven-colour range includes Butter, Bubblegum and Oyster. Available at W. Atelier.
