It requires imagination and play of textures in the right balance. A single color theme restricts many design options, but for the few who like to stay away from contrast, it makes perfect sense. Think all red, all yellow, all white or all black theme; how would they look? The key is to use different shades of the same color and play around with fabrics, accessories and textures to bring out the character of a room.
