A Fool Proof Palette
to Modernize Your Place

Go graphic.

Warm up your metals.

Yellow metals like brass, bronze and copper pair perfectly with black, white and grey colors. The look is very timely, but also adds some warmth. Silver-toned metals would likely just come off cold.

Shades of grey.

There's more than just black and white in this palette. Look for ways to incorporate some rich grey into the space as well, as seen here with the bedroom's charcoal walls.

Fake some architecture.

A simple paint treatment can add a whole new dimension to a room. Here, half the wall is painted dark for a chair rail effect (without any railing or hardware), which is complemented by a black-painted ceiling.
