sometimes i just want to banish all color and live in a calming and perfectly elegant space (but not a fussy one) that’s just muted and lovely all on its own. i like the idea of lots of white, gray and black, and allowing the tiny little details to shine through — either through architectural elements, treasured collections, or subtle textures. an interesting lighting fixture, a pretty mirror, a well-thought out space with lots of room for living simply. here’s a few spaces that ring true for me when it comes to understated, muted elegance.
