Over the past few months, years even, our homes have become our own cosy havens away from the chaos of the outside world. With the rise of interior design content on platforms such as Instagram and Tik Tok. And it’s not surprising, when you are cooped in a space for months on end you’re going to want to make it stylish and welcoming. 

Comfort and cosiness have undoubtedly taken precedent over more cold and striking interior design ideas over the past few seasons. Soft earthy tones and calming neutrals are perfect for creating a cocoon like space to curl up in. If you fancy injecting some relaxed neutral style into your living space look no further, we have gathered some tips for achieving the naked neutral look. 

1. Accessorize

If you’ve not got the time to re-paint your whole house beige or are looking for a simple way to change the look of your home accessories are your friend. Quick and effective, they are perfect for giving your space a refresh. Frames, vases, posters, rugs are all perfect additions to help you achieve a neutral infusion into your home.

2. Upcycle

While it can be fun buying all new stuff for your living room, having a keen eye for what you can repaint or change slightly will help make your new look more achievable and cost effective.

3. Be bold!

An all neutral home would be divine, however to help make the calmer colours to stand out it’s worth thinking about introducing deeper tones and hues to contrast with the creams and beiges. @my_neutral_place does this perfectly by infusing black accents into their space to make the mauve and neutral tones stand out and make a stylish impact.

4. Complimentary furniture 

Giving your space a neutral foundation with furniture will help brighten your space and make it perfect for adding small styling touches. Our Cove range is perfect for a home with neutral style, its light coloured wood and modern shape give style and drama to any room.

5. Add a touch of textures 

When it comes to texture we are seeing more and more creative ideas. Don’t just think about the floor space or textured blankets, think about the wall space as well. Being inventive and bold can lead to some of the most calming and impactful spaces. Just look at @amy.textiel’s wall. The textured wall is immediately inviting and comforting and definitely outside the box. 

While many homes have the base colour of cream or white, adding your own characterful spin on the neutral theme can be as easy or inventive as you want it to be. We hope this blog has got your creative juices flowing and if you do decide to change up your space be sure to tag us @madewithoak.
