Don’t fall victim to a boring neutral space! Make it exciting by adding elements that fill the space with character. Here are a few of our favorite ways to get the look.

Use warm wood tones. Neutral spaces can sometimes come across as cold or uninviting. You can avoid this mistake with the right wood tones. The Monogram tables have heavy wood grain and honey-colored finish that add a contrast of warmth to this bright neutral space.

Just add black. It adds instant depth and brings an edgy vibe to a monochromatic room. It could be as dramatic as a painted statement wall or as simple as the black iron base on a table. The Chain Reaction coffee table has the perfect dose of black to bring some character and style to a neutral living room.

Think beyond wood. If your goal is a neutral space with a modern style then experiment with different materials. Chairs with gold iron frames and a coffee table with a stainless steel base are an unexpected pairing. These textures create a space with designer style and endless character.

Layer warm hues. Neutral doesn’t mean everything has to be grey. A gold sofa mixed with beige chairs and soft brown bookcases all come together to create a warm inviting space that’s anything but boring.
