Where does the “dull white and beige” end and the “sophisticated neutrals begin”? It is a fine line that separates an utterly desirable room and a very unimpressive one. There are several ways you can create a Neutral Aesthetic in your home while it being glamorous, classic and luxurious. Neutral is not only about color. It is about light, textures and the combination of several hues. Read on to discover three infallible ways to master the use of a neutral palette.
Contrasting Neutrals
“Neutral” is far from meaning “all white” or “all beige”. In an interview for Elle Décor, Dorothee Junkin from Dorothee Junkin Design Studio claimed that a “neutral color scheme usually relies on a layered composition of subtle and muted color tones”. In KOKET’s Nude Living Project’s Dining Room, the Decodiva Dining Table brings just the right amount of contrasting tones for the surrounding neutral room décor.
The Chandra Chair in a luxurious and well-balanced neutral fabric are both bold and daring, while providing a touch of vintage glam. Our Hypnotic Chandelier in Polished Brass and a High Gloss Finishing ties in with the gold accents present in the Dining Furniture Set.
Chandra is both bold and daring. The modern edge in this chair exudes the feeling of vintage glam, while metal bands delicately bind the chair highlighting the sculpted fluidity of the tight back upholstery.

The Importance of Natural Materials
Like we said before, a neutral home décor is not just about the colors you choose for your walls or on the fabrics of your chairs. It is also about the materials you use, and how you use them. Marble is a personal favorite for us. The different types, patterns and variations make this a must-have material for high design and a neutral aesthetic.
Our Vengeance Table Lamp is a neutral lighting piece – or a masterpiece (we can’t decide). The Carrara Marble hugged by the cast brass hand resembles a woman seeking retribution as she fights to get what’s rightfully hers. The Vengeance Table Lamp is not only a great addition to a neutral interior, it also makes a great conversation starter.

Highlight the Architectural Features
More and more, new homeowners look for houses with personality. Houses that feature incredible architectural details like crown molding, high ceilings and tall windows. A neutral aesthetic and home décor is one of the best ways to not only let those characteristics shine, but also highlight them.
In KOKET’s Paris Apartment the Reptilia Sofa was a risk worth taking. The details in Polished Brass add enough interest, without overshadowing the surroundings.
