Ever find yourself caught in the beige debate?

For many, it’s a love/hate relationship. Some find themselves wanting to yawn when they think of beige walls in an overall beige home. In fact, sometimes even I call boring things beige, and think about all of the many fun, deep colors I would paint my home when I’m a homeowner, beige (at this point) not being one of them!

I’ve always thought of beige as safety, and in my interior design, I’ve never liked safety. But I’ve recently discovered that using beige the right way can bring an airy, cozy, hygge feeling to a space, whether with

  • beige curtains against a dark and moody wall color
  • soothing beige accessories sprinkled around a room,
  • or keeping things simple in a rental by balancing beige walls with spunky and furniture decor

I’ve learned that when used correctly, there’s true, beautiful magick in beige when used with the proper hues, balanced with the right colors, and used with a daring sense of doing something different with it!

Here’s some inspiration for you if you’re looking for how to make a beige color really stand out in your home. ✨

The timeless power of beige in interior design: is there a right time to use it?

In the world of interior design, beige has long been viewed as the dependable, but perhaps not-so-exciting choice.

Picture this: a beige living room. What’s the first thing you think of?

A bland space, or a place that just needs a little coziness to it? For the neutrals lover, beige is like that one friend who is always reliable, always there, but sometimes overlooked in favor of their more flamboyant peers. If you’ve peeped around our blog for a while, you know that we love moody, cottagecore colors, with deep purples, raspberries, soft ivory whites, taupes, and muted blues and greens.

For a while, I wasn’t sure if beige ever fit in my vocabulary, but I think you’ll see that bringing some beige into your color palette can add a hint of warmth and nature to an otherwise cold room. Let’s get into it!

How to create with shades and tones of beige

But first, beige isn’t just… beige. There are different shades of beige, and in turn.

Beige is sand, it’s taupe, it can be deep and muddy or light and airy. It can be warm and cool, 

Most are warm and inviting, and when used right, can still complement a moody space perfectly.

The key is choosing just the right shades and companions, and knowing how to arrange decor and furniture accordingly.

It’s not just about the beige itself, but how it’s complemented. So, let’s dive into these combinations of beige tones, so that whatever space you’re looking to create, you can add a bit of warmth to it. ✨

Final thoughts on these color palettes for your home

Now that we’ve indulged in the vibrant world of beige, it’s clear that this hue is anything but dull. It’s the chameleon of the interior design realm, gracefully shifting its mood and tone depending on its surroundings. So how can you capitalize on these combinations in your personal space?
