Elegant Home Retreats

By Dana

Soft neutral tones combined with natural elements are the signature palette for a spa home retreat. Using a neutral color scheme for your home can be challenging, but by layering different textures and hues of soft colors you can create warm, understated and beautiful rooms. It's easy to add and change accents of color with plush pillows, unique accessories, and organic botanicals. Set a relaxing mood at home by providing cozy places for you and your family to reconnect and refresh.


High ceilings, rich warm hues, and an earthy gray background are accented with pillows of soft spa blue. A combination of natural materials make this over-sized space cozy and warm. Accentuate the height of your ceilings with dramatic floor-to-ceiling curtains.

This bedroom is decorated in a soothing combination of sumptuous fabrics and warm textured walls in muted, multidimensional colors, and provides a restful place to take time out during your busy day and rest and refresh at night. Layers of fabric and cozy upholstery help quiet the room.

Soak your stress away with a gently curved, modern bath. Natural stone is accented with the shimmer of glass tile. The organic wood sink vanity is mirrored by a small vanity shelf on the opposite wall. Light fills this space with a unique arched window, and the distinctive ceiling makes this bathroom undeniably modern.

The serenity of an outdoor bath is reflected in this unique bathing space. Natural stones boost the twin baths, rustic mirrors reflect light into the room, and classic bath fittings add charm.
