Sophisticated Neutrals

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love working with our clients to design spaces around a neutral color palette; when properly executed, the monochromatic effect is dramatic in its sophistication and luxury. A soft, tone on tone color scheme creates a soothing backdrop, allowing many other design elements to shine. Pattern, texture, wall art, décor, and architectural features move to the forefront against a neutral canvas inviting the eyes to relax and fully take in the beauty without distraction. In these spaces, natural light and shadow are design elements in and of themselves as they play throughout the room to create an ever-changing landscape from morning to evening. As you can see by these gorgeous inspiration images, varying shades of whites, ivories, grays, and linens evoke a spa-like feeling of tranquility while also expanding the look and feel of each space by utilizing uninterrupted sightlines, allowing features like the stunning marble fireplace surround and the beautifully sculpted, floor-to-ceiling stone hearth and mantle to be showcased without overwhelming the room. The overall atmosphere of each space is that of invitation and welcome, the design is organic and conveys a sense of comfort and an elegant simplicity that draws people into community, fellowship, and rest. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you design your perfect place of peace with a touch of sophisticated neutrals!
