Warm neutrals: how neutral tones decorate your home
Although Carlos Mota (author of the book "Beige is not a color" ed) will not be very happy with it, a trend for this 2021 will be the use of warm neutrals. Colors, to be precise neutral. Many love them and just as many hate them, but we cannot deny that they are a must in the world of interior design. Shades of beige, dove gray, off-white, cream and the color of discord: the infamous greige. All colors that, although not particularly saturated, manage to convey a feeling of warmth and welcome.
Home styling
In the decoration of the house we can consider these colors as wild cards. They adapt to any style and are always a winning card to create a welcoming, relaxing and super "warm" environment.
Generally the warm neutrals are declined on several levels. Using colors that are so similar to each other, without any dye that stands out from the others, the risk of obtaining a flat and boring effect is very high. We recommend using neutrals for different furnishings. Curtains are a perfect ploy to create movement in a room. Linens in these shades are perfect: they do not weigh down the environment, but rather make it fresh and light.

Wallpapers also play an important role: a woven textile can create harmony and dynamism in the room, adding character and personality.
In general, the secret to using warm neutrals without creating monotonous environments is to mix more textures. In fact, different processes and materials will help you create movement and plays of light, characterizing the room.
Light design and warm neutrals
The ally of textures is light. Every designer knows how important it is to play with lighting to create the right atmosphere in an environment. It will be enough to direct the light correctly to hide some flaws or, on the contrary, to highlight the strong points of your design.
As for the textures, the correct light design highlights them, creating the movement necessary to restore a dynamic environment while using neutral colors. Choose the right degree of coolness or warmth of the light. In fact, it is able to make the space perceive in different ways: welcoming, aseptic, impersonal, creative, comfortable, cold ...
Have fun with the warm neutrals!
