Complimentary Colors

In the sitting room of a Canadian townhouse, red leather nailhead trimming (from Samuel & Sons) looks like wall paneling and adds drama to the mostly-neutral space. The antique Gustavian sofa is upholstered in vintage raw silk for a rich look.

Nearly White

In a feminine townhouse, CB2 sofas in Kravet's Bacio and curtains in a Dedar fabric ground delicate pink accents like a Kate Spade New York table lamp from Visual Comfort. Soft gray couches anchor the mostly-white room.

Neutral Gray Living Room

Designer Susan Ferrier decorated this New York City apartment with a neutral color palette. In the living room, gray creates a sensual mood through the use of light and dark layers. There's a cabinet-of-curiosities aspect to the furnishings, starting with an iron-and-glass coffee table made by an unknown artist and found in France.

Blue-Gray Living Room

Gray serves as the accent for a blue color palette in this Los Angeles home, decorated by designer Kristen Panitch. In the living room she chose a tweedy gray sofa and a silvery-gray wallpaper as background for a huge Los Carpinteros painting. "The painting would have overpowered the room if I hadn't used colors from the other end of the blue spectrum," designer Kristen Panitch says.
