I personally like to design rooms with color. I grew up in a house with white walls and white carpet and so of course I'm not going to be one of those designers who stick to all creams and whites. I love adding a punch of color to a room. However, it is important to add a few neutrals to a colorful room for balance. If you have too many different colors going on, the room won't flow well and you won't be comfortable in it. I find that neutrals give the room a grounding effect.
When selecting neutrals I like to play with texture and pattern. This will prevent the neutral item from becoming the boring, everyday piece in the room.
