BRET GUM

Elegantly Neutral

The neutral palette is a classic scheme that promotes simplicity and impressions of cleanliness. Here, bright white and several warm grays are the textured backdrop to stunning pops of antiqued gold for a luxurious feel.

Neutrals tend to bring texture into the spotlight, so a variety of surfaces–from plush to shiny and shimmering–will keep any space interesting. Either way, this look is an effective way to clear your head and make you feel like royalty every time you walk through the door.

BRET GUM

Boldly Monochromatic

Committing completely to one color is bold, but if you feel as strongly about your favorite hue as we do about pink, it can be a unique way to express your personality. Create dimension by using multiple tones within the same color. In this bedroom, shades varying from pale rose to vibrant fuchsia produce a warm and tranquil atmosphere that allows for a fresh start each morning.

Dusky Drama

Though romantic homes are generally known for light, floral interiors, enthusiasts of the style can certainly enjoy a darker palette, too. This shade of muted teal is an inspiring and chic choice when paired with creamy white and champagne shades for a room that encourages balance and restoration. The result is a soothing and relaxing tone that will help you hit the reset button after a long day.

Whatever your selection, consider the atmosphere you are creating with your colors and ensure that it suits your needs. After all, your home is your oasis and should be a place of peace and rejuvenation.
