Neutrals upon neutrals throughout the house can create a serene, made-to-kick-back space. But whether in the form of wall paint or accent pieces, a hint of color will add life to your neutral scheme. Here, three combinations to try.

White + Blue
For spring, incorporate shades of blue with crisp whites. The combination is classic, breezy, and nautical.

Grey + Yellow
Pops of saturated yellow give dark greys a modern look, while pale yellow with pale grey feels light and airy.

Natural + Salmon
These soft, earthy hues are the just-right backdrop for salmon-colored paintings or accent rugs.

Your Soothing Space, Found: The Neutral Home Boutique opens Thursday, January 23, at 3PM ET.
