When decorating a living room, neutral colors can be a great way to create a calming and sophisticated atmosphere. From whites and off-whites to grays, browns, and blacks, there are many options to choose from that can help add texture, depth, and dimension to any space.

Adding in subtle pops of color through pillows, artwork or throws can give a living room some personality without straying away from the desired neutral aesthetic.

Mixing patterns such as cable knit or herringbones is an effective way to use bolder colors while still keeping with the neutral theme.

Accessories such as area rugs, picture frames, and lamps of various sizes should also be considered when decorating with neutral tones for a truly beautiful look.
