Suffering From Gray Fatigue?

We all could use a new go-to color. Consider the trend toward warmer neutrals this season—tan, sand, caramel, beige, taupe and other rich brown hues—that have been experiencing a comeback on the runway and in furniture, fabrics and more.

Textural Mix

The antique-inspired Emmett rug from Loloi achieves a modern look through variegated yarns and contrasting high/low texture. Shown in a sand colorway and crafted of wool and viscose from bamboo. 6 by 9 feet, $2,039; 8 by 10 feet, $3,289. Zaksons Fine Furniture & Interior Design in Brick, New Jersey, or LoloiRugs.com.

Minimal & Modern (& Comfortable)

Massoud’s new 2341 sofa features a modern and minimalist design with graceful half-moon arms and delicately shaped chrome legs. Upholstered in Milford Earth, a soft chunky tweed in a mix of gray, camel and beige yarns. $3,499.
