washed out & wonderful

its no secret i am color obsessed.  patterns, colors, layers of both, i can't get enough.  so today, i thought it might be fun to switch gears. 

here are some of my favorite neutral spaces - and what makes them so great, in my opinion, is the use of patterns, however subtle, lush textures, a sense of warmth, and beautiful details....

soft layers of color washed in with warm tones.  there's still pattern, and so many wonderful layers of metal, wood, tiles, textiles.  i am so in love with this!  you can follow my board on pinterest "how i dream of neutral" for more inspiration.

p.s.  here is a sample of a living room board i put together - just the fabrics.


brown & white geometric woven (betwixt by celerie kemble) would be a pillow on the blue, beige and cream print by schumacher.  the white embroidered linen (top) would be drapes and a small pillow.  animal woven and ikat, both pillows on the (bottom left) sofa - a highly textured, white & sand colored sofa.
