Contemporary homes can be largely white. Rebekah Hough, decorator at Guiry’s, suggests opting for an off-white, such as Mascarpone or Arcadia White for a warmer finish. Moving away from white into a gray palette is perfect for adding depth and upping the cozy factor. Hough suggests Callingwood, Smoke Embers or London Fog for a whole-home wall color.

“Many contemporary homes use a lot of white, but by shifting to a slightly off-white, you can easily warm up a room.”

Sunny Outlook
Pantone chose a pair of colors for its color(s) of the year for 2021. Ultimate Gray is paired with Illuminating—a bright, happy yellow—for an uplifting color combo symbolizing the light at the end of the tunnel. Make the most of this color duo by anchoring the space with gray. Use it for large upholstered pieces such as the sofa or a bed. Bring in pops of yellow in the details such as pillows, throws, artwork and décor.
