Most of my home has been painted in shades to gray, which I adore due to the fact that it gives a modern, neutral backdrop to any decor. My favorite background color shines here with a chevron feature wall behind a white fireplace with a rustic wood mantel. To elevate the farmhouse look, add a sliding barn door painted an alluring shade of navy blue. Natural light reflects off the white and gray furniture to help the room appear spacious and airy.
