A neutral color palette has a classic, upscale appeal to it that makes it a beautiful choice for a home and a perfect choice for a staging home for the market. It can be anything but boring when the right textures and patterns are chosen. This home tour of an early-1900s house on Long Island Sound captures the elegance of neutrals in a chic and stylish way, befitting of the home’s owner, fashion executive Kay Krill, CEO of Ann Taylor and Loft.

Benjamin Moore’s “Baby Fawn” paint color provides a warm backdrop to this entry nook, the mirror adding a nice touch of glamour.

White walls draw your eye completely to the amazing view out the windows. A blue pattern on the pillows and ottoman compliment the water view.

The shape and texture of the ottomans beneath the console table bring a lot of interest to the vignette, as does the zebra print on the lamps.

Dark paint behind the shelves adds some depth to the living area, playing off the coffee table and pattern on the armchair.

A graphic pattern like the one on these chairs can add life to a neutral space when everything else around it is kept simple.

Gray gets a pop of interest with graphic patterns on the armchairs and a variety of shades and tones to keep your eye moving.

A toile de jouy Roman shade plays off the contrast of the black and white palette.

A variety of patterns compliment with the taupe atmosphere of the dining room for an elegant, tailored look.

Black and white art has a boldness to it that is also upscale and chic, bringing some depth to the warm palette of this corner.

Just a single pop of orange in the pillow brings some life to this bedroom full of interesting patterns and tones.

Sticking with white and grays in a bathroom will give it a very spa-like, hotel vibe, especially if you incorporate monogrammed towels.

The neutral palette can be carried on to the outdoor living area, where nature will provide the perfect colorful accents.
As seen in this home tour, neutrals can be stylish and interesting to the eye when the right pattern and texture is included.
Warm regards,
