5 Neutral Paint Colours That Aren’t White (Or Boring!)
Creating a relaxing space to unwind in your home is all about choosing the right pieces—and shades of paint.
And while this often means turning to white hues, there are plenty of other colours in the rainbow that can give you a similar calming feeling. These are our favourite neutral—but not boring—paints to foster a cozy home environment.
1. Soft green
Greecian Green 507 (Benjamin Moore)
Neutrals can still be lively. This muted green is soft and understated yet still brings a whimsical flair to your walls. We love this shade if you have a mix of subtle white and beige furniture or as a calm contrast to bold decor.
