Using Faux Bois Decor Is Great For Neutral Color Spaces

By Carolyn Baker


Some people choose to go with earth tones for a room because they often feel it is the safest choice. While there are some great interior schemes that are mostly brown, a good number of people tend to make this boring. The reason is the lack of texture throughout. It does not have to be anything extravagant but something like chevrons, subtle stripes, or a faux bois decor can make a difference.

Going with a line design pattern is usually a safe choice when done sparingly. It is also great for those who may prefer an analogous or monochromatic color scheme. Small lines can add interest that will outlast most interior decor trends, as opposed to something like paisley designs or polka dots.

One reason why this design trend is experiencing a resurgence is due to its simplicity. Adding lines, whether it be a wardrobe or still pieces in a home, can give draw people in with little effort. While this may seem like a big deal, one should think about a space that only has solid colors throughout. Without a pattern or texture, spaces can become monotonous, unless the primary color is bold or vibrant.

Normally, people who rent tend to feel the most stifled when it comes to decorating but there are some alternatives. If the lease permits wall hanging, quilts or other wall art with a simple line design bring a little more flair than plain off white walls. Curtains or other window treatment with a vibrant pattern can be another option.

When simple groovy lines are used, oftentimes there is no need to add extra. Even if a person likes to have mostly neutral tones in a room or space, light curtains with a wood pattern can add a little bit of excitement. For those who do not like to place a lot of effort into changing their space, this is a nice option that will not take all day to plan and execute.

Line patterns are also practical for functional objects, which can also be decorative. Neutral colors combined with black or white can create a nice contrast without being too bold. The placement of everyday objects with a line design can create a nice aesthetic without adding clutter.

There are many templates that can be used on fabric as well as solid surfaces. Lines can be painted on or buying spray paint that gives a fake wood look can be the fastest way to decorate that does not cost a fortune. Home stores and craft retailers not only have products but classes that can help with the application or inspire new ideas.

Since some line designs can be found on vintage items, the right product may be found at a yard sale or thrift store. For those who want to learn more about home decor should take the time to peruse different sites and learn about emerging designers who have an affinity for retro designs and products. Viewing these sites can inspire the perfect room transformation that combines comfort and a style that catches the eye immediately.
