A Very Neutral Home















This home from Renovation Style magazine is void of color and I love it!
I find the neutral palette very peaceful and lovely.
All the wonderful texture from stone, tile, woodwork, and fabrics keeps things interesting.
But if I actually lived in this house I have a feeling color would start showing up in the rooms little by little.
What about you?
Would you leave this home as is or would you need to add some color?

Oh I LOVE Neutrals! I would not change much at all if I lived there. Just faint hints of colors like the green in the flowers etc.

I love this home! I find I am eliminating colour more and more in my home, but am wearing more colourful clothes. I wonder why? x Sharon

I love the neutral as well, very calm. I think I would leave it like that for the most part, maybe a few pops of color here and there for the holidays. :)

Gorgeous! I love the restrained palette and as much as I try to do the same in my home, colour always seems to creep in a little - not a lot - but enough to disturb that calm, soothing feeling.

I love neutrals too...whenever I'm tempted to add color i see something like this and it reminds me how much i like soothing neutrals.

Oh, I love this! It feels so relaxing.

I love the house too ~ and am drawn to neutral color palettes in decor, it's so calming, but I have a hard time extracting color all together. Color is so lively and invigorating. And I like to feel calm, but also invigorated!

I'm having a love affair with neutrals right now, and I have decided its from kid toy overload! Too. Much. Color!

Robin said...

Stunning! I may throw a couple pops of red around since I'm not sure if I could live without it. Otherwise I love the look of all the texture and the light surfaces against the dark stain. It's so pretty.

That is such a beautiful house but I'm with you, I would need some color around me. I am redoing a guest room with neutrals but I just had to add some blue and a touch of red. --------Shannon

I love neutrals. Pretty post! I also love the cedar shake panels on the interior! Always looks so charming. Hmmm...maybe I'll do that in my family room. Happy weekend! Jami

That home is gorgeous and I would leave it as is! Our tastes are so similar. Great minds, right?

I love this house. Thanks for sharing. I've been slowing removing color from my home but I also love houses with color.

I love it!!! I am always so indecisive though, myself. I mostly like just neutrals but then find myself adding a little color in here and there seasonally.

It is exactly what I love and how I decorate. Beautiful inside and out.
