Puzzling over color schemes for your home? I have a couple of ideas that never go out of style and can be applied to many styles and all kinds of spaces. Here are the most timeless color schemes to go for!
All Neutrals
Though Pantone every year announce colors of the year, and all of them are either pastel or at least bold, neutrals never go out of style. Neutrals are absolutely gorgeous and can match all decor styles and fit every room. Though they may seem boring to you, there are tons of shades to choose from, from pure and crispy white to greige and taupe, and you can create an interest in your space with them.

Warm Earthy Tones
Earthy tones are some kind of neutrals but I’d mention them separately. A palette of rust, beige, tan and amber will make your space very welcoming and cozy, and isn’t that what we need? While neutrals themselves can be rather cold, warm earthy tones are gorgeous warming up and inviting turning your space into an oasis of relaxation.

Besides, it has a lot of shades and tones to choose from: midnight blue, navy blue, tiffany blue and so on, so you’ll be able to choose what inspires you. Blue and white can be applied to all the decor styles including Scandinavian, just prefer proper blue shades.

Neon pink, fuchsia, hot pink and other shades like that are all about modern and bright glam, and soft blush and dusty pink will turn the romantic mood on.
