Monochromatic Rooms – 9 Ways To Design With Color

June 29, 2015
  • Share

I love the idea of a room done in all one color. Monochromatic rooms can be “tres chic”. Floor to ceiling in one bold color statement. One color matching throughout or shades of a color used to dominate a color scheme packs a powerful design punch.  An all-white room has become commonplace…but what about an all-black room, all-grey room, all-pink room, or all-green room?

Wrapping a room in one color makes it feel more intimate and adds a sense of character and style.

Here are 8 ways to design monochromatic rooms…take a look and you decide!

1. Gray Monochromatic

A close-up of a moody gray living room design.

Gray living rooms have been trending since 2018. For a more elevated look, create a moody gray living room with different shades. Accessorize the space with dark gray armchairs, lamp shapes, and throws. And don’t forget to use texture to add contrast.

2. Monochromatic Blue

A deep blue bedroom wall.

A blue bedroom never goes out of style. To create ambiance, use a rich blue shade for a serene bedroom design. Add throw pillows with floral patterns for a hint of elegance. It’s always a good idea to use throw pillows and blankets to help accessorize the bedroom.

3. Kelly Green Room

A Kelly Green sitting area.

One of the most popular colors for those who aren’t afraid of color is Kelly Green by Benjamine Moore. The paint color has a cool and crisp effect on every room. For a monochromatic look, add Kelly Green armchairs. It creates the drama you are craving in a sitting area. This is a look for people who aren’t afraid to go bold in their home.

4. Pretty Pink Rooms

An elegant pink bedroom.

I found this beautiful pink bedroom. The soft feminine hue is a perfect color for a pink monochromatic room. It’s not too overwhelming which could make the room look like it’s straight out of Barbie’s Dream House. The designer added brass and copper accents to add some contrast. It’s a subtle technique to add monochromatic trends to a bedroom design.

5. Hues of Blue Room

A blue dining room with a monochromatic color palette.

Monochromatic rooms including the dining room can make a statement. Design a focal point with your dining room table decor. The wall color can be a rich blue hue or a soft delicate shade. Elevate the space with an accent wall or ornate trim for a regal finish. Sometimes less is more. And sometimes more is more!

6. Monochrome Kitchen

A black kitchen with chrome finishes.

Metals are a unique way to achieve a monochrome look in a kitchen. Style the kitchen with chrome pendant lights, finishes, and even counter stools. It’s an eye-catching technique that will make all of your guests impressed while you host.

7. Monochromatic Beige & Cream

A beautiful beige living room.

A soft neutral color like cream or taupe. Is an easy color to create a minimalist monochromatic room. It’s also easy to find home decor to match the vibe. Cream is a popular color for living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom designs. It’s a classic!

8. White Monochromatic Room

share

A dining room with white subway tiles on the wall.

White is the most popular color in modern designs. So a monochromatic room with everything white is a go-to design technique. However, adding different textures to the wall is an easy way to break up a room so it’s not too stale. Subway tiles are a fan-favorite wall design for kitchens, bathrooms, and dining rooms.

Is Styling a Monochromatic Room Difficult?

A monochrome room design may appear to be simple to implement, but doing it successfully while limiting your scope might be all the more difficult. When done correctly, a monochromatic room should make full use of tone and texture variations. That includes using a number of related tints and hues for a rich and breathtaking impact, while also adding textures for visual interest. When done incorrectly, a monochrome interior design would appear dull, uninteresting, and devoid of excitement and stimulation. So yes, styling a monochromatic room can be difficult to achieve depending on the paint color you select. However, it’s not impossible!

What do you think? The Monochromatic trend has come and gone. However, it will always resurface in interior design. However, when a monochromatic look is executed correctly it can have a timeless impact.

What color might you choose for a monochromatic room? Would you want to go for a bold color like Kelly green or a deep blue? Or would you stick to a neutral color palette like a warm beige or all-white? Comment below your favorite room and which color you would choose for a monochromatic room!

Happy Monday!

P.S. Spent the weekend with TE…doing all things for our Malibu home renovation project. Met my Aunts SS, AJ and RM up at the house along with sis DS for a tour. Was fun when they gave the master bedroom a round of applause! We are only at paint phase now with floors and tile going in this week. Things are coming together!

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
