Create a nature-inspired look for your home by exploring subtle and relaxing shades of mushroom brown and taupe. Choosing two similar tones of a soothing brown gives a sense of balance and harmony that is easy on the eye and soothing on the senses. Accessorise with fabrics and grainy surfaces, emphasising texture and reflecting an earthy sensibility.
Mix different tones of wood from pale maple to warmest walnut and combine with soft cream walls to create a sophisticated yet modern environment. An eclectic mix of modern furniture and retro pieces is a key element of the look and here a modern take on the sideboard sits well with a retro chair in this living room setting.
Neutral room schemes are lifted with the use of textures and weaves as rugs, furniture and accessories. Here a rugged woven rug, carved wood table plus nubbly linen fabrics and smooth suede give this living room its modern style.
