Three Luxury Homes in Cool, Neutral Tones

There is something distinctly luxurious about a cool, neutral color palette. It reminds you of a beautiful woman in linen pants coming in from an afternoon stroll on the beach. Or a carefully selected meal served on bright white china and a crisp tablecloth.

The homes featured in this post each embrace their own definition of luxury, but they do so with the backdrop of a cool, crisp, clean neutral color scheme. From a stunning white beach house, inspired by the Art Deco hotels of Miami Beach to a deep, dark grey interior that's rife with soft, touchable textures and pops of eccentric art these houses are worth exploring.

The first space comes from visualizer Albert Mizuno and has the kind of luxurious look that would easily fit in by any beach. The home’s pool deck is immediately notable both for its sparkling swimming pool but also its white spiral staircase that winds up to the roof of the two story home.

The interior of the home does not have quite the same art deco vibe, but the cool neutral palette remains. From a soft gray sofa to subtle natural wood paneling, the overall tone of the home is welcoming and easy to embrace. The one burst of color comes in the form of a mustard yellow side chair, which gives the home just a bit of playful whimsy.

The second house, located in Israel, comes from architect Stanislav Kaminskyi. The house is 250 square meters (2690 square feet) and uses dark grays, black, and white as its main color palette. The high contrast look is not nearly as reassuring as the more subtle tones of the first home, but it certainly offers its own artistic appeal.

The dark furnishings and art work to complement the dark wood fixtures and concrete wall treatments while the white walls and curtains ensure that the space stays light and bright enough to be comfortable.

The last house also comes from Kaminskyi, but this time is a home located in New Jersey and measuring 300 square meters (3229 square feet). The space is very open, with towering ceilings and huge picture windows looking out onto the surrounding nature. The color palette here is more in tune with that of the first house, with soft grays, beige, and white. There is also a peek into the unique interior courtyard that gives the lower level some architectural interest as well.
