5 Interior Design Tips to Elevate Your Space — The NeutraLeopard Way

5 Interior Design Tips to Elevate Your Space — The NeutraLeopard Way

At NeutraLeopard, we believe that designing your space should be exciting, not overwhelming. Whether you're furnishing a fresh space or looking to revamp your current setup, the secret lies in blending bold choices with intentional design. We’ve rounded up five of our favorite design tips to help you build a home that feels uniquely yours — effortlessly chic, endlessly cozy, and unmistakably you.


1. Start with a Statement Piece

Every great room begins with a focal point — that one piece that makes you feel something. It might be a velvet sectional, a stunning art piece, or a sculptural light fixture. The key is to choose a piece that speaks to your personal style and anchors the entire space.

NeutraLeopard Recommends: Our 90" Olive Green Velvet Sofa And Toss Pillows With Gold Legs is a best-seller for a reason — it’s bold, luxurious, and comfortable!


2. Layer Texture, Not Just Color

Color gets all the love in design, but texture is what brings a room to life. A mix of tactile materials creates richness and visual depth, even in a neutral palette.

Try this combo: Pair a boucle accent chair with a smooth marble coffee table, or contrast matte ceramics with glossy metallics.

NeutraLeopard Recommends: Browse our Material Muse collection for curated textures that play beautifully together.


3. Use Vertical Space Wisely

Design isn’t just horizontal — don’t forget to look up! Adding height with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, tall plants, or hanging light fixtures draws the eye and adds a layered, finished look.

NeutraLeopard Recommends: Our Groovy Rattan Pendant Light floats above dining tables and entryways like a piece of modern art — without taking up precious floor space.


4. Curate with Intention

Your space should reflect your story, not your clutter. Group decorative items in thoughtful arrangements rather than scattering them across every surface. This creates visual harmony and allows your favorite pieces to shine.

NeutraLeopard Recommends: Use the “rule of three” when styling — think three objects, varying in height and texture. Our Artifact Edit features one-of-a-kind vases, sculptures, and objets d'art perfect for building stylish vignettes.


5. Balance Bold with Neutral

We love bold design moments — but they shine brightest when surrounded by quieter elements. The best interiors strike a balance between the two, allowing key pieces to stand out without overpowering the room.

NeutraLeopard Recommends: Layer a statement chair or patterned ottoman with soft, neutral backdrops. Our Bold x Neutral Collection is designed to help you find your perfect mix.


Final Thought: Your Home, Your Rules

At the end of the day, great design is about creating a space that feels right for you. These tips are just the beginning — a launchpad for building a home you love walking into every day.
