Hello Reader,

​

Would you believe that at one time there was a bright orange wall in my house? Or that I once painted a photo frame teal? What about those yellow pillows that once landed on my couch? It’s true.

​

These things happened. But, then, something else happened. I fell in love with neutrals.

​

Today, I'm sharing some of the benefits of neutral decor (for those, ahem, who dare me to add some color) along with some other exciting updates.

Ok, so what's the deal with neutral decor?

My view on home decor is less about making things pretty but making sure our space is functional, authentic, and comforting. For me, this means neutral.

And while a completely neutral look might not be your thing, it can help to at least consider some reasons behind it.

Benefits of Neutral Home Decor

• Sense of Calm - I can't be the only on the quest for chill vibes
• Easy Changes - for all the commitment phobes, this is a bonus
• Classic Choices - I've never once regretted a black wall
• Fewer Decisions - Is there more to say?

If you're looking for more ideas & examples, be sure to check out the full post for a deeper dive:

Absolutely must have color? Stay tuned for next week where I'll share some suggestions for adding color (none of which include painting an orange wall....)
