By definition, netural means lacking characteristic, but when it comes to interiors and style that is far from the case! The list of neutrals has been growing, with people beginning to consider deep greens and even animal print as a neutral. For design purposes, neutrals are the classic, timeless hues that can go with anybody's style, both in clothes and homes. They set the background to let other elements shine without overpowering. But what about pairing neutrals with themselves? Here are a few amazing pairings that certainly don't lack characteristic.
Navy & Gray These cool tones are such a classic combination. They remind me of a calm ocean at night, or a cold winter's day (but in a good way!). It risks becoming a little drab and even depressing so it's best when the colors are really saturated and bright pops of color are brought in, but as a neutral pairing the two really work great together.

Gray suits and navy vests give the groomsmen a classic look with a relaxed twist. This would be perfect for a winter wedding, don't you think?

These cool watery tones keep this den looking luxurious and inviting. Not to mention, that wallpaper is truly amazing!
Camel & Black This is my favorite neutral combo of all. I get excited just thinking about it! Cheetah print, Burberry pattern, there's so much wonderful Camack all around! (tTally made my own word there, just roll with it...)

White & Cream I have to admit I used to be completely annoyed by this combination. (Insert shamed face here...) I saw it as trying to match something but falling just shy and landing with a weird jumble of color (or in this case, lack of color). But in the past year or so I have actually started to totally love these two together. When done right, the creams make a space look luxurious while keeping the clean freshness gained when using white.

Open layout, natural light, and Victorian furniture make this space breathtaking.
Tell me what you think! Do these pairings make you squeak or snooze?
