Discover the Beauty of Neutral Colour Schemes

Neutral colour schemes provide the foundation for a wide variety of decor styles. They create the perfect backdrop for blending stronger accent colours and interesting textures. For many decades, neutral tones have been popular. While some may associate them purely with minimalist interiors dominated by white and beige, neutrals have evolved.

‘New Neutrals’ are inspired by a wide range of earth tones. They fundamentally provide softness and warmth. While they still help to create timeless, calming interiors, 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. 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.
