5 Tips from Claire Garner Design Studio for Creating a Neutral Design Scheme
"A neutral design scheme allows for greater playfulness with textures, tones, patterns, and finishes."
Claire Garner, Director at Claire Garner Design Studio, gives us her top tips for building a serene and relaxing palette.
1. Experiment with texture - this could be through soft furnishings as well as flooring, tiling and hardware. I love to layer tactile textiles in calming settings and source organic handmade elements through lamps & objects to add a wonderful natural & grounding element.
2. Add the warmth of woods - don’t be afraid to mix different wood finishes in the same space, this will create a more eclectic and interesting space.
3. Layer tones & muted colours - neutral doesn’t have to mean no colour... you can 100% use beautiful muted colour tones, especially serene greens and calming blues, along with warming blushes and faded terracottas.
4. Add art & architectural detail - clever and intricate elements will add a wonderful depth to your scheme, this could be through furniture pieces , lighting and joinery.
5. Connect with nature - by connecting with the outdoors, this will help to add both relaxing and uplifting elements. As much as I do love an olive tree…. This could also be added through print, pattern and colour palette.
