For this black living room, we used shades of gray, blue, and brown to mix and match. We also used a brown background to make the room look more lived in and it was definitely more comfortable.
The black living room was an experiment we made to see if we could get a more neutral look without feeling like we were cheating. The idea was that the room looked a little more “lived in” with a simple, neutral background. The idea was that by mixing in neutral colors that would make the room look a little more “lived in”.
But I guess the end result was more neutral but a little less lived in. It was definitely an experiment to see if we could get a more neutral look without feeling like we were cheating.
I think I had a hard time wrapping my head around the look. The room had a neutral palette but I couldn’t really tell if it looked more neutral. Perhaps that’s because the color of the walls, floors, and ceilings were all a very neutral hue? Or, maybe I just don’t like neutral colors? That’s probably it though.
I think it actually looks better than I was expecting. I cant get past the fact that it looks like a very ‘lived in’ home. It looks nice and cozy and warm. It has an element of calmness, but without it feeling too lived in. More neutral for me.
So basically, it looks like every room that is in a home would have the same neutral look. That is very much the vibe I was going for when I chose this home. I dont know what I was trying to convey with this room, but I think its a good start.
Your house is supposed to be your home, not an extension of your home. It has to feel spacious and calm, not lived in and chaotic. It needs to feel lived in, not lived in. The neutral color scheme, cozy rooms, and muted décor all reflect that. I love it though.
I am a little leery of neutral colors. They can seem to be a bit jarring when in the wrong surroundings. My house is a bit of a departure from the norm, but I think I got the idea of neutral colors from the look of the interiors of the various houses I’ve lived in. I don’t know if I’m going to go with that neutral look, but it’s a good start.
This is one of the few times I’ve been able to buy a house that was neutral for the interior. My house was neutral because it was not living in, so I didnt have to worry about whether the walls I was covering with it were neutral or not.
To me, neutral colors are also the most functional and functional is the most neutral. If you go out to paint your walls, or put up a new paint color, you can’t be certain that it will be neutral. Also, if you put color in the wrong place, it will clash. I think that’s the opposite of the best thing you can do, which is to have a neutral or neutral and a neutral in the wrong place.
