Pale tonal decor creates a wonderfully airy and balanced home interior that evokes a sense of peace and harmony. These two calming tonal interiors employ wood accents to add warmth and texture to the pale palette, and small bursts of black to anchor the light scheme. This is a colour palette that translates seamlessly into every room and area of the home, from relaxing living rooms and clean kitchen designs to calming bedrooms, stylish home workspaces and modern bathrooms. To prevent the mellow from becoming monotonous, these inspiring home designs demonstrate how to include unexpected elements of contemporary design and individualistic layout to break the repetition with eye-catching character.
