Modern neutrals: 7 'new neutral' colour schemes

Neutral colour schemes provide the foundation for a wide variety of decor styles and create the perfect backdrop for blending stronger accent colours & interesting textures. Neutral tones have been popular for many decades, but while some will associate them purely with minimalist interiors dominated by white and beige, neutrals have moved on.

‘New Neutrals’ are inspired by a wide range of earth tones, fundamentally providing softness and warmth. While they still help to create timeless, calming interiors, and allow for easy blending, some of the stronger new neutrals can also command a room on their own.

At Leaping Foxes I have created a boutique collection of British fabrics to help you create a calm, relaxed, natural home and most of our fabrics are produced in soft, tonal colours, inspired by nature. I'm delighted to share my top 7 'new neutrals' with you..
