Designing Monochrome and Tonal Rooms
Grey is a wonderful color for living rooms and bedrooms, but to keep the room from feeling too cold, you’ll want to be sure to choose shades that have warmer undertones - meaning the color will have a subtle red or yellow hint to it. This Flooring America carpet, for example, sets a sophisticated tone for the room, and pairs well with warm gold accents and cream colored walls. https://bit.ly/2GyB2Ci
Monochrome can also work well in farmhouse style homes! Try mixing different wood stains and other natural materials, such as rattan or dried flowers, to create a rustic, earthy vibe. High variation hardwood or wood-look floors, like these from Flooring America/Canada, will allow you to play with wider range of shades; room accessories, like wire baskets and carefully selected antiques, will add novelty and help tie the room together. http://bit.ly/2DRQkoa
If you like to have a lot of color in your home, you can still get the monochrome look! Decorating with tonal shades of blue is a wonderful option, especially for those who love coastal decor. We recommend going slowly at first; incorporating the color through furniture or an area rug. For a soft, breezy look, stick to pastels, like robin egg blue. Vibrant hues, like cobalt or turquoise, will create a more playful, dramatic vibe. https://bit.ly/2KQuSSX
Blending shades of white and grey is the go-to choice for creating a minimalist look. Clean, crisp walls and soft, beige carpeting give this room an inviting, tranquil feel; black accents scattered about the room - the bedside table, the window frame, the throw pillow - add contrast and depth. https://bit.ly/2GyB2Ci
Warm, tonal shades of white, cream, and beige are the perfect foundation for a cozy bedroom. To create a relaxing feel, opt for softer accent colors, like lavender or mauve, to work into the room’s textiles, whether in the bedding, curtains, or in a rug. https://bit.ly/2OUKBQm
