Tips On How To Incorporate The New Neutral Trend Into Your Home
The New Neutral Trend is quickly gaining popularity in the interior decorating world. It's easy to see why - this trend might just be the perfect way to update your home decor and keep things fresh yet timeless. The focus is on creating a calming atmosphere and maximising space, while staying away from anything that might look too dated in years to come.If you're someone who is interested in trying out this trend, it's important to keep a few key things in mind.
Firstly, choose a neutral tone that you feel comfortable with. Warm beiges and soft creams can help to create a clean yet welcoming atmosphere to larger spaces. Whereas cooler tones such as greys or off whites can help to enlarge more modest areas. Whatever you choose, the key is to stick with it throughout your space to create a cohesive and stylish atmosphere.
To get started with the new neutral trend, it is crucial to begin with lighting. Natural light is at the forefront of this trend, so if your home is subject to heavy curtains or blinds, it’s time to ditch them! Allow as much natural light as possible by removing obstructions and replacing heavy drapes with sheer curtains.Where natural lighting is sparse, try to introduce some minimalist light fittings to illuminate your space. We are loving this Eccleston Floor Lamp from Bodhi. With it’s steel frame contrasting against the vintage white faux silk shade, this floor lamp demands attention in a simple space while still paying homage to the neutral trend.
When it comes to implementing this trend in your space, starting with your walls is a quick and easy way to make a big impact. Use your walls as a base for the colour palette you are using with any accessories acting as an extension of this colour scheme throughout your home. Not a fan of playing it safe? Why not try implementing a feature wall within your chosen colour story to give your space a focal point. This will also help to add some depth and dimension to your room. To create texture you can also try adding wood panels in a light oak finish which will also help to avoid your space from looking too paired back. Incorporating murals is another way to keep your space looking both clean and neutral while still providing a visually pleasing aspect to the space that adds an artistic touch.
When it comes to furniture, simplicity is key. That’s why, when choosing furniture that fits this trend, it is important to try and look towards clean lines and shapes in order to achieve an all round clean and simplistic look that will complement your neutral colour scheme. L-shaped sofas and round coffee tables particularly lend themselves to this trend. A fine example of this is the Left Chaise Sofa by Calibre Furniture. In a ivory white boucle fabric, this sofa offers both comfort and class. You can also consider mixing and matching different materials and textures, such as leather, linen, and woven fabrics, to add some interest to your space.
Next, when it comes to accessories, less is definitely more. The minimalist approach is key here, so choose a few select pieces that add texture and interest to your space without overwhelming it. Keep in mind that accessories are meant to complement your neutral color scheme, not distract from it.
Another great way to incorporate the new neutral trend is through the use of natural materials. Think wood, stone, and other earthy textures. These materials add depth and warmth to your space, while still maintaining that timeless and sophisticated look and are easy to introduce through a variety of accessories such as vases, photo frames and tableware.
Finally, don't be afraid to mix and match textures. The key is to keep things interesting without going overboard. A mix of soft and hard textures, like a plush rug paired with sleek metal accents, creates a balanced and visually appealing space.Just make sure to keep the amount of accessories in any one space to a minimum. For example, the Grael Pot in White/Natural from Bodhi provides a masterclass in combining textures to create a truly unique piece that is still simplistic and stylish.
In conclusion, the new neutral trend is a great way to give your home a fresh and modern look. By choosing a neutral tone, keeping it simple, mixing and matching textures, adding pops of colour, and embracing natural light, you can create a space that is both stylish and inviting. Give it a try and see how the new neutral trend can transform your home!
