The rich neutral colours include the deep earthy shades, the warm caramel and coffee browns and spicy colours. These shades are all created by adding yellows, reds, or oranges to the paler creams. Immediately, this makes them more interesting.

Patterns and Textures in Rich Neutral Colours

Think of food and drink when creating combinations for decorating with the rich neutral colours. If the living room has cappuccino coloured walls, go for cream woodwork and chocolate accessories. Patterns and textures can be mixed when decorating with a restricted palette, so look for fabrics that add depth to the richness of the colours, such as velvet and silk. For sheer opulence, beading and sequins on cushions can look stunning.

Contrast pieces could be in pale turquoise, whilst toning colours would include peach, apricot or even a soft warm pink.
