There is something distinctly luxurious about a cool, neutral color palette. It reminds you of a beautiful woman in linen pants coming in from an afternoon stroll on the beach. Or a carefully selected meal served on bright white china and a crisp tablecloth. The homes featured in this post each embrace their own definition of luxury, but they do so with the backdrop of a cool, crisp, clean neutral color scheme. From a stunning white beach house, inspired by the Art Deco hotels of Miami Beach to a deep, dark grey interior that's rife with soft, touchable textures and pops of eccentric art these houses are worth exploring.
The interior of the home does not have quite the same art deco vibe, but the cool neutral palette remains. From a soft gray sofa to subtle natural wood paneling, the overall tone of the home is welcoming and easy to embrace. The one burst of color comes in the form of a mustard yellow side chair, which gives the home just a bit of playful whimsy - a retro touch that fits well with the mid century modern dresser console next to it.
The second house, located in Israel, comes from architect Stanislav Kaminskyi. The house is 250 square meters (2690 square feet) and uses dark grays, black, and white as its main color palette. The high contrast look is not nearly as reassuring as the more subtle tones of the first home, but it certainly offers its own artistic appeal.
Dark furnishings, accessories, and artwork stand in stark contrast to the bright white walls. Perhaps the only piece that breaks the monochromatic theme is the wooden base on the stylish glass coffee table.
The last house also comes from Kaminskyi, but this time is a home located in New Jersey and measuring 300 square meters (3229 square feet). The space is very open, with towering ceilings and huge picture windows looking out onto the surrounding nature. The color palette here is more in tune with that of the first house, with soft grays, beige, and white. There is also a peek into the unique interior courtyard that gives the lower level some architectural interest as well.
