Cool, pale periwinkle walls set the stage for warm furnishings in this bungalow fromScheer & Co.
Interior Designbased in Austin, Texas.
Pairing cool walls with dark wood and warmvintage-style furnishings keeps the central living area from feeling cold and stark.
Domus Nova
The decorative pillows spotted on the sofa, and the stripes on the coffee table echo the wall color.
Beautiful accents in natural wood and brushed gold keep the space from feeling dark or dreary.
While the shade on the floor is a neutral brown, the fawn-patterned carpet is anything but boring.

The gray and white walls have a blue undertone, which adds to the cooling mix of relaxing colors.
The countertops are beige, but tinged with a cool tint, which leads to a cohesive color palette.
Mixed with plenty of white, the soothing space feels open and airy at the same time.
Entrance Makleri
It’s a unique room as a whole but still maintains a sense of serenity.
The blue tone plays nicely with the light gray.

Sometimes though, minimal white walls serve as an intentional blank canvas that can be boosted through accents.
Beige chairs and a small section of warm wood flooring provide a nice balancing effect.
Because work can be stressful, calming cool color palettes are often a good choice.

In this workspace fromMidcity Design Group, muted navy walls envelop the space and make it feel grounded.
That being said, it still feels soothingall thanks to the deep and light blue mix.
It’s a perfect example of the warm and cold color worlds coming together in harmony.
