Our home, especially the rooms we use everyday, should clearly indicate our style, color preferences and aesthetic tastes while making us feel comfortable, calm, and safe. This is why we call it home in the first place. But what if you like monochromatic rooms, and what if your favorite colors are grey and black? How would you create an interesting and non-monotonous space without any color?
