The word neutral may feel to some that it is synonymous with boring. However, a neutral home to others can feel quite calming and even cozy. The spaces featured here are from the architects at Leqb Architecture. Though each unique in style, the utilize neutral, dark color palettes throughout spaces, creating livable homes of all sizes. These colors truly allow for the occupants of the home to leave their own mark on the design, through the things and people they cherish, rather than through throw pillows and accent walls.
Take a look inside these home and find your own neutral inspiration. Perhaps today is the day you take a bit of color out of your home and add it back into your life.
The first home is nearly futuristic in its clean, neutral style. Every edge is perfectly placed to draw the eye around the room to each squared away surface. The dark colors may not be very lively or whimsical, but they do serve to create a sense of calming in each room.
This St. Petersburg loft, designed in conjunction with MC Interior, is quintessentially modern with a decided emphasis on clean, straight lines and flat planes. The dark neutral colors make the different surfaces the real star of the show, from platform beds to gothic-inspired fire places. Natural materials are also in use throughout the space including gorgeous wood cabinetry, painted brick, and luscious wood flooring.
This Moscow loft is just a bit softer than the previous spaces. The use of concrete gray and lighter upholstery along with light wood paneling skews the space more towards neutral. The bedroom becomes a warm retreat with its cushy bed and encapsulated feeling, while still giving the slumberer some privacy.
A Moscow loft that is a bit on the small side, measuring just 47 square meters (500 square feet) is made quite cozy with the use of oversized furniture. Exposed brick also lends a bit of warmth to the main living area while the bedroom, with just enough space for a large bed, lets high ceilings make up for the lack of floorspace.
Our 5th space is another Moscow flat with similar measurements (47 square meters, 505 square feet) but a different tone. The splashes of color that we find in the art chosen for the space are a breath of fresh air in these otherwise dark and entirely neutral spaces. The creativity expands as well, to the dangling lights and wood paneled walls, and even to the enclosed bed which would be well suited to a vampire.
We see things continue to open up a bit in this next home. The wood paneling here is particularly notable. Unlike many other iterations of this we have seen, the wood here looks as if it could have been pulled directly from a tree which gives it a special warmth. White walls and a deep blue area rug give this space a lightness that stands out among these dark interiors.
This final space take on many more browns than grays, which give it a warmer feeling. Painted brick walls are almost rustic and wood slats have a modern cabin edge to them. Chrome light fixtures add a finishing funky touch to this cool (but still neutral) home.
