| Neutral territory. Not a bold person? Follow Wearstler's lead without compromising texture, layers or depth, as seen in this look for fall 2012. The richness easily translates to the home, as can be seen in SFGirlByBay's light-flooded, feminine but grounded living room. Private Comment

| New neutrals. Of course, neutral doesn't always have to mean beige, gray or greige. Pinks have a way of feeling neutral, especially when combined with brown, which lends a sophisticated edge to the girly-ness of pink. Joy Cioci and Herve Leger by Max Azria elevate soft pinks with a play of textures, patterns and subtle dark undertones. Private Comment

| Red and brown. If you've got a predominantly neutral palette that falls into the brown family at home, and you're ready to spruce it up but aren't sure where to start, consider following Tribune Standard's lead by bringing in a healthy dose of red. The look will remain neutral but will feel fresh and subtly colorful. Private Comment

| If that idea frightens you to no end, bring in a single red element and see how you feel. The red Sputnik pendant in Mark Cravotta's project works beautifully without making the room feel too edgy. Private Comment

| Blue and black. An often overlooked but absolutely valid combination, blue and black makes people stop and think. Prabal Gurung employes it to great effect in this fall look, and I think it translates beautifully for the home. If you've already got the groundwork in place (a blue rug, sofa or curtains) introduce black accessories or chairs and tables with black frames. Private Comment
