Monochrome interiors

Monochromatic interiors in natural shades such as beige, brown and grey are coming more and more to the fore in the interior scene. The term 'monochrome' is often used in the description of art, fashion or interiors. It means "consisting of or using a single colour or similar colour palette". Vincent Van Duysen, for example, has known this for a long time and regularly uses a simple colour palette to radiate timelessness. Posh Feng Shui, Andrew Trotter, Yaroslav Priadka and Photonic Studio have also tried this trend in their projects that you can see on the images.

The difference with previous monochrome interiors is that now also the furniture is selected in a matching. The result is an interior that blends together and radiates tranquillity. The difficulty with a monochrome interior is that it quickly feels flat. To counteract this problem it is best to use textures and different materials. The choice of colour is therefore replaced by the choice of material. The materials you regularly find in these interiors are often natural with a rough undertone such as concrete, wood and plaster. A monochrome, sober colour palette radiates modesty and therefore luxury and refinement. By adding small details, this simplicity never becomes boring.
