How to give your home the natural look

How to give your home the natural look

 
Combine harmonious shades

Creams and neutrals always look better when two or three shades are teamed together, rather than using a single shade throughout the room. Use complementary colours, whether on the walls, woodwork or floor, to give the scheme depth. In this living room, painting the lower third of the wall in a warm caramel colour and the top section in a light cream creates a wonderfully cosy look while still retaining the light and airy feel.

 
Good for: Dark hallways, north-facing living rooms, small spaces, compact home offices.
