Natural Neutrals: September Roundup + Music Playlist

We’re close to wrapping up September and with that we’re looking back at our deep dive into the world of natural neutrals. Now that it’s officially fall, we’re all about Scandinavian design and feelings of hygge, the Danish concept that encompasses feelings of coziness and well-being. Home interiors that incorporate mixes of wood tones, rich textures and natural finishes in furniture and decor, layer visual interest within any environment. With warm colors like beige, brown, greige, sand, taupe, cream and gray among the favorites for a natural neutral color palette, and terracotta, amber and clay pink as accents, a sense of natural tranquility effortlessly emerges. Now, kick back and relax, and take it further by listening to our chill playlist on Spotify while revisiting these posts.

Villa Kuro: A Desert Home in California Inspired by Japanese Wabi Sabi Philosophies
We took off for Joshua Tree, California (in our minds) to a vacation home that easily could have been transported from Japan. Southern California interior design studio MINI INNO designed Villa Kuro with nods to nature and the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi, which seeks beauty in perfection. Perfectly mixing natural textures, warm accents and contemporary furnishings, this vill is an ideal escape from the city.
