The “New Neutral”: Designers like Victoria Beckham and Simone Rocha are utilizing soft blues as a versatile base layer that feels fresh and elevated! The color shines when contrasted with warm tones like butter yellow, rich chocolate brown, burgundy, or crisp white.

Color capping is an interior design paint technique that uses multiple shades of a single color family within a room. Typically, it features lighter shades on the walls and a slightly darker, contrasting hue on the ceiling (the “fifth wall”) or vice versa. The shift in tone usually occurs at natural architectural points, such as picture rails, crown molding, or cornices.
It is often contrasted with “color drenching” (coating every surface in the exact same color) and “color blocking” (using harsh, contrasting, and unrelated colors).
