We LOVE neutrals, but lets face it, sometimes they can make a space feel a little drab. To keep your design from falling into yawn territory, try mixing in a cool neutral with subtle hints of blue to balance your other neutral surfaces. Blue on its own can easily overwhelm a space, but when de-saturated, it becomes a classic, near-neutral that will feel modern, fresh and current.
Some of our favorite new colors perfectly exemplify the term "cool neutral". Try any of these four cool hues, Moonshine, Nickel, Skipping Stone or Iron Ore for a major upgrade.

A soft blue neutral will make your space feel calm, cool and collected. To recreate the look below try a cool neutral backsplash with our colors, Moonshine or Nickel, paired with dreamy whites and soft gray textures.

Cool neutrals lend themselves to monochromatic designs. To recreate this look choose finishes with varying tints and shades of the same cool hue while playing with texture to add interest and dimension.

For a little more contrast try one of our darker, more dramatic cool neutrals such as Skipping Stone and pair it with bright whites and warm woods. This cool hue will stand out without overpowering your space.

Or you can opt for a more masculine design by pairing a deep cool gray like Flint with rich wood cabinetry dark floors and countertops, and sleek stainless steel appliances.
