If you've got a passion for interior design and always found that you've gravitated towards neutral colour palettes, listen up. If you find yourself growing tired of the same old neutral shades you see in every home showroom or supermarket decor aisle and you're thinking about how they can be elevated - we've got you covered. 

We're interior experts here at Taskers, so we always like to stay in the know when it comes to what's trending. And this year, neutral shades are getting a facelift. These newer shades are more stylish and more trendy, yet they retain the neutral tones you already know and love. So, let's explore the world of new neutrals, and why you should consider using them to make your space beautiful in 2024!

Out with the old, in with the new (neutrals)

Neutral colours serve as the foundation for many people's home decor and are integral to many of the world’s favourite interior styles. such as Scandi, minimalism, and modern farmhouse. And while neutrals offer a timeless and versatile backdrop, the repetition of the same old colour palette can sometimes become monotonous - and it's always nice to switch things up slightly!

One easy way to keep your home lively and appealing is to maintain a balance between the soothing and unified feel of neutrals, and adding a hint of innovation here and there too. With that in mind, let's take a look at the classic neutral shades, and their stylish but subtle counterparts.

New year, new neutrals 

There is a preconceived notion that neutrals are boring, which couldn’t be further from the truth because, as we all know, sometimes less is more. And at Taskers, when we think of classic neutral shades, the mind calls forth tones of black and white and shades of brown, beige and grey. And while all of these shades are stunning in their own right, too much of anything is bad for you - and that saying applies to interior design, too! So, if you’re considering neutrals for your next home revamp, allow us to introduce you to the new neutrals: olive green, sage, dusty pink and dark blue. 

How to embrace these stunning new shades

Incorporating the new neutrals into your home doesn't have to be overwhelming! A great way to do it is to first choose a primary neutral shade as your base, such as warm beige or cool grey. This will serve as the foundation for your design. Next, introduce the new neutrals strategically - try using olive green for accent furniture or rugs to add a touch of earthiness. Sage can be brought in through botanical elements like indoor plants or decorative vases, creating a sense of tranquillity. Dusty pink works beautifully in soft furnishings like cushions or throws, offering a subtle yet elegant pop of colour.
