Creating Style with Tone on Tone Layering

When it comes to design, most often we are dead set on a certain color to decorate the room with. Some are all about robin’s egg and determined to bring that color to your interiors, while others can only envision greys. One of the upsides of falling in love with a specific color is that by designing your space with the tone on tone approach, you can create a calm and beautiful space.

Tone on tone focuses on layering one specific color throughout your space. You can mix and match different textures and patterns in your interior, but by sticking with the same color, you can drastically transform your space.

Ranging from bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms, tone on tone layering works beautifully in most rooms. The effect can range from heavy, where the walls, furniture, pillows and décor are the same color, to minimal, where a select few items in your room reflect the same tone.
