Casual style is comfortable, warm, inviting, and homey. Almost everyone loves it. But exactly what are the elements of a casual room? In general, casual rooms have simple details, textured elements in fabrics and accessories, restful horizontal lines, soft upholstery, low-luster surfaces, and arrangements that avoid perfect symmetry.

While neutral colors (beige, tan, brown, gray) are often associated with the casual style, interiors can also range from soft pastels to deeper tones such as green, navy, and terra cotta.
