Darker shades such as grays or blacks can also be used, but with less intensity. The fundamental thing is that the neutral color predominates.

Some touch of Scandinavian color such as blue, light green, or pink could also be used as long as they do not break the harmony or minimalist approach of the space.

Natural and handcrafted materials
