Neutral Palettes
What the Pros Know About
Neutral Palettes
Judy Naftulin manipulates neutral tones in her home the way photographer Ansel Adams manipulated black and white in his images of Yosemite. The brightest white in the home is her sofa, the darkest her black piano. Walls are white (Benjamin Moore Dove White) and floors natural black walnut. Everything else in the place falls onto a neutral continuum from light to dark.
Key to the Style*
* Mood: Coastal casual
* Palette: White and neutrals
* Bare floors of rich black walnut
(six-inch planks)
* New pieces and antiques for a
sense of accumulated history
* Many windows open to
the sea views
* Inexpensive roll-up bamboo
shades on windows
* Deep comfortable seating
* Textures for visual interest: Straw,
leather, etc.
