Neutral Sophistication
A neutral living room was given a striking edge with sophisticated hues of gold and brown. The vaulted ceilings are the most eye-catching element of the room with double crown molding and an umber-toned accent wall. Simple beige walls allow the gold accompaniments and brown accents to stand out. Design by HGTV fan Liv By Design Interiors
Gray Backdrop
Soft gray walls warm up the crisp, white sofa and white fixtures in this chic home office space. HGTV fan centsationalgirl added a subtle splash of color with light blue metallic accent pillows and turquoise knick knacks. A deeper gray rug with an icy blue flower pattern, continue the room's color scheme on the floor.
Deep Pink
HGTV fan artelfin created a feminine and posh space by integrating red-violet tones with sterling silver accessories. The white sofa pops against the rich magenta walls and accent pillows. Periwinkle carpet tones down the bold color of the room, while still maintaining that lovely pink-purple hue.
Perfect Pair
An olive green accent wall paired with an aubergine duvet creates a relaxing tone, perfect for a bedroom environment. Seal brown hardwood floors and furnishings deliver wintertime warmth. Design by Andreas Charalambous

Snow White
Say "yes" to white in the winter. Neutral tones come together to create a simple and modern space. Warm elements are introduced with a rust-colored sconce, a creamy shag rug and natural hardwood floors. Design by Ron Nowfel
Rich and Warm
Nothing says warmth more than rich, chocolate brown tones mixed with gray, aubergine and pumpkin orange. Designer Andreas Charalambous added lights behind the wall to illuminate the room with a soft, intimate glow, allowing the orange accent wall to stand out among the deeper elements of the space.

Cozy Colors
Warm shades of eggplant create an intimate, inviting gathering spot within this traditional living room. Soft, gray-toned purple walls allow deeper shades of aubergine, like the lamp base, throw pillow and candles, to make a bold statement. Design by Joseph Pubillones
Silver and Cold
Black, white and silver combine to create an ultra-modern dining room. Aluminum-gray walls and silver window treatments visually expand the space, while crisp, white furnishings add an unexpected pop when paired with black accessories. Design by Erinn Valencich
Golden Glimmer
This elegant neutral living room welcomes winter with holiday flair. Light, metallic gold slipcovers provide formal additions to the space, while allowing the small, yet bold, accessories to take center stage. Natural elements such as the birch branches and bird nests were dusted with gold powder for a Christmas shimmer. Design by Leanne Michael Interiors
Charcoal Heaven
A color palette of charcoal gray and aubergine in the living room carries into the kitchen and other adjacent rooms for a uniform and balanced look. Designer Gregory Augustine says, "the reflective hues of the surrounding city buildings at dusk were inspiration for the color palette."
Eye-Popping Red
Against white walls, this rich, red sofa revamps the color palette of this simple, modern space. With minimal accessories and few accents, designer Andreas Charalambous allows the sofa to take center stage, continuing the bold hue onto the walls with an abstract print in deep red.

An Olive Statement
Designer Kenneth Brown added shimmery olive green window treatments to make a dramatic statement against the pale green walls and white floor. The gold- and beige-toned bedding was given a warm dose of color with an aubergine throw and copper accent pillows.
Elegant Complements
Floor-to-ceiling draperies in warm gold tones deliver a pleasing contrast next to a deep navy accent wall and matching bedding. The combination of dark and light hues prevents the room from feeling small and visually expands the space. Design by Vanessa DeLeon
Golden Dreams
Designer Judith Balis combined various hues of tan and brown with soothing gold and copper accents throughout this modern bedroom retreat. A rich, chocolate brown accent wall complements the shimmery gold duvet and accent pillows for an ultra-relaxing feel.
Soothing Space
A smoky gray paint color allows plenty of design creativity. HGTV fan JeanninePC99 stayed with the silver and gray theme, adding modern, gray-toned accent pillows to a slouchy white sofa. A sleek, black coffee table provides the perfect home for ceramic gray fish statues.
Icy Addition
Icy blue, when paired with white, depicts the perfect winter wonderland. Designer Ron Nowfel uses subtle hints of blue against white walls and cream furniture bringing our favorite natural winter hues indoors.
Deep Retreat
Designer Joseph Pubillones combined shades of aubergine and lilac with russet-colored draperies and deep brown furniture for an ideal color pairing. Crisp, white bedding brightens the space, while still pulling in the room's brown tones with the ribbon trim.
Modern Metallics
A fresh combination of white, black, gray and metallic silver creatively installed this modern masterpiece. Floor-length metallic silver window treatments add a subtle glow next to soft, gray walls and white furnishings. Faux wheat grass planters bring in a deep green hue for an added touch of color to a simple palette. Design by HGTV fan silversun84
Wintry Elegance
Designer Ron Nowfel created an elegant, yet neutral, space with wintry shades of cream, gold and celadon. The gold accents provide a warm touch against the room's naturally soft color palette.
Ocean Inspirations
Designer Joseph Pubillones paired bold, navy walls with neutral accessories, fixtures and flooring to keep the space open and inviting. A beige sofa, white lanterns and rustic wood furnishings stand out in this wintry, yet ocean-inspired room.
