If you love the understated beauty of the neutral colour palette – comprising of browns, whites, greys, blacks, taupe, and more colours – then you’ll also understand that such spaces can seem a little monotonous without proper contrast. Are you wondering about what you can do to spice them up? Add some jewel-toned and metal accents to create some interest! Here’s how you can do so:
1. A little bit of red

The wood and white theme of this media wall is extremely elegant and sophisticated. It also features a dynamic designing that keeps the eye moving. But because of the restricted colour-material scheme, this feature wall may have looked very boring had it not been for the red accessories that adorn it. Spread out through the shelves in the form of a sculpture, a tray, and an alarm clock, it adds much-needed contrast to the whole set-up.
2. The chair and the art work

The achromatic articulation of this living room interior design is one of the best that you’ll ever see. However, its ambiance may have felt a little dull had it not been for the accent chair at its corner coupled with the jewel-toned artwork placed directly across from it. The brown and mauve hues complement the elegant greys of the rest of the ambiance beautifully.
3. Shiny metals

This open kitchen and dining room space have been articulated in many different shades of grey. However, even interspersed with so much texture, they may have been the epitome of dull had the rust upholstered dining chairs and metal accented light fixtures not effused the ambiance with some gorgeous contrast. It’s subtle, unique, and packs a big punch!
4. Featuring artwork

Artwork is one of the least expensive and readily available way to introduce jewel accents in your home interiors. The realistic triptych artwork in this living room interior design is an excellent way to emulate this idea!
