Designer Kelly Hoppen is renowned for her chic room designs using a pared-back palette. Here, she talks us through how to add interest to a neutral scheme

DECORATING WITH NEUTRALS

Neutral interiors are a firm favourite. Trading assertion for subtle warmth and interest, these gentle shades ranging from palest stone through to warm creams and softest caramel complement any style of home, as seen in this beautifully layered bedroom scheme. However, decorating with neutrals is not as simple as avoiding bold colour and dressing rooms exclusively in beige. For a neutral scheme to feel warm and welcoming, texture and a sense of comfort are essential. Designer Kelly Hoppen shares her expert insight on how it's done.
