With accessories, furniture, or bedding in muted, natural tones, you can focus on highlighting a few key pieces. "Clean, muted tones in any room provide the perfect backdrop for a variety of styles, from classical to super contemporary," Jan Rutgers, co-owner of JANGEORGe Interiors and Furniture, told POPSUGAR. "Sophisticated artwork or luxurious furniture pieces look more elevated with a clean, airy environment. When designing a room, I like to think long-term for my clients. What will be the most timeless and elegant choice for designing their room that also leaves the space feeling soothing and calming? In small spaces keeping everything lighter can help open the space."
