FROM DRAB TO DELIGHTFUL: ZEN COLOR PALETTE

As a visual artist and art blogger, I get asked a lot of questions concerning colors. One of the most frequent topics I get asked about is neutral colors. What are they? Why can’t we classify them on the color wheel? How do we make neutral color schemes visually appealing?

People, especially women according to Coco Chanel, think of all colors except the absence of color. However, within a palette of soothing neutrals and smooth surfaces, one can always witness a radiating and timeless elegance.

Neutrals maintain balance and a Zen-inspired vibe in your spaces. Screen time, dreadful political news…Our daily dose of stress and drama, makes it increasingly more and more complicated to perceive serenity and leisure in our lives. Nonetheless, creating a peaceful retreat in the comfort of our spaces is at this time our last “lucky” bet.

Zen-inspired home décor has amplified in popularity and became a contemporary craze of our present days. Fraternized with simplicity, spotlessness and minimalism, Zen is actually a perfect way to create an atmosphere that counterbalances the strain and hassle of everyday problems.
