The article explores a wide range of neutral palettes, from soft sand and mossy greens to muted blue and warm terracotta, all of which demonstrate how tonal subtlety can bring richness and emotion into interiors without relying on bold hues.

One of the highlights for us is how neutrals are being redefined as a foundation for texture, contrast and mood, rather than a default backdrop. That feels very aligned with how we design, because the interplay of light, material and under-tone is what makes a scheme feel calm but never dull.

We were especially pleased to see our own Marcelina Janiszewska featured among the voices shaping this conversation. On decorating with soft, muted colours, she notes: “When decorating with soft blues, I like to experiment with colour-drenching schemes, layering different shades to create a truly stunning, deep effect.”

Marcelina also adds a practical point that we use all the time in our projects: “To keep blue walls interesting, pops of warmer tones, like red or pink, add energy and warmth. Don’t be afraid to use these contrasting tones, as they create a scheme full of depth and character.”

Her insight speaks directly to how we think about neutrals: not as neutral in the sense of uninspired, but neutral as a nuanced palette capable of supporting layered, purposeful design.

This round-up on Livingetc reinforces something central to how we work — that neutrals, when approached thoughtfully, deliver spaces that feel both grounded and sophisticated. If you’re thinking about introducing serenity and visual depth into your interiors, this article is a great resource and mood-board starter.
