- How to make it: Vary the sheen levels across surfaces; use ultra-matte for walls, satin for doors and trim, and glossy finishes selectively on decorative accent objects to catch the light.
- Tips & Variations: Break up the monochrome intensity by incorporating natural woven elements, such as a seagrass headboard or blonde ash bedside tables.
