Design Destination: Neutral Rooms

Lately, I have been browsing through my inspiration files as I have been working on client projects and gathering ideas for my new home. I noticed that many of the spaces in my family room inspiration file are neutral. It's true, I love a well planned room with a neutral palette. The family room in my current home has a very neutral background with small punches of color dispersed throughout. Neutral rooms evoke such a calm and fresh feeling. And while neutral may be boring to some, a neutral room done with the right mix of textures and tones is anything but. Here are a few examples of neutral rooms that get it right!

So what about you? Would you live with a neutral room or do you live and die for bold color?
