The bible of home decor and design is undoubtedly Architectural Digest and recently we came across a great article about the monochrome color pallet that we focus on around here. Whilst Home In Monochrome is typically obsessed with blacks, greys, white and metallics, monochrome can encompass other shades and as this article by Shoko Wanger and Yelena Moroz Alpert points out it’s an easy way to transform your home into a calm and cozy sanctuary – if done right.
In the article Wanger and Alpert provide insight into how shades of a single color can create a soothing, cohesive atmosphere throughout your space. By layering varying tones of one color, from soft pastels to deep, rich hues, you can add depth and interest without overwhelming the space. Whether you’re drawn to neutrals like beige and gray or prefer the cool tones of blue and green, a monochrome approach can transform any room into a peaceful retreat. Think velvet cushions, soft throws, and plush furniture that work together in perfect color harmony. It’s the ideal trend for creating that cocooning, ultra-comfortable environment we all crave.
Best of all, Wanger and Alpert provide nine tips for how to get started. Check out the full story at Architectural Digest.
