We love simple and clean interiors here at Niche, but sometimes a space needs a little push towards perfection. Below are three spaces that are nice and neutral but a little yawn-inducing. With a few adjustments in texture, color and shape you can boost your home’s interior from blah to beautiful!
Creating calm in a bedroom can be achieved with simple, graceful furniture and a soothing color palette. However, taking it too far can really make for a sleepy design. Incorporate bedding with delicate patterns in soft colors and add organic shapes to bring warmth to a stark interior.

This dining space has an airy, modern feel with a neutral color scheme and modern dining table and pendant. Unfortunately, the empty wall misses a major opportunity to inject color into the space. An abstract painting adds color and movement, while drapery panels incorporate softness into the room.

A warm, neutral living space can be inviting but it can also become a beige bore if you’re not careful. Infuse color and pattern to break up large neutral pieces such as an oversized sectional. Consider accessories with repetitive details and lighting with interesting profiles.
