In the case of a monochromatic interior, make sure using several textures and patterns. This way it is avoidable to feel the room boring or depressing.

All white
White with white – but not Scandinavian or vintage
Taupe
Taupe is a neutral color which is in the middle between brown and dark grey. Both lighter and darker hues are popular in interior design because it provides a natural base and it gives depth to the space. The French word taupe means mole, it was named after the color of the animal.
Macramé
Macramé is a kind of textile made by knotting technique, by hand. The different types of knots give the final pattern. It has Arabic roots, reached Spain through the Moors and spread in Europe in the 14th century. It was really popular in the 1960-70s. Recently, it appeared again in interior design. For example, macramé curtains are good alternatives to the mass-produced string-curtains.

Fuchsia
Fuchsia was patented in 1859 as an aniline dye. It was renamed magenta later, so the two colors are the same. This is a vivid, middark, purplish red hue. Originally it was named after the flower and renamed after the place of a victorious battle in 1859. Since it is a stron and energizing color, let’s use it moderate in interior design, rather as a focal point or pop-color. It can be a good alternative instead of using red.
