Brown Neutral
People always think neutral means beige, but designer Gary McBournie says beige isn’t a neutral it's "blah blah blah." Instead, he recommends looking to nature for inspiration: "You’ll see forest green, sky blue, and this luscious brown, which also reminds me of a melting pot of chocolate. I have used it in foyers, dining rooms, and even in my own bedroom. For a crisp effect, paint the ceiling and trim a bright white."
