Neutral is not the same as boring – let’s just get that out of the way, shall we? They used to say less is more, but I tend to think that less is actually more than more. It’s better. Using the hallmarks of Scandinavian design, maintain a refined and understated colour palette including neutrals and timber, avoid too many pieces that are purely for decoration and go for functional simplicity that is beautiful. Easy, right?
