If you want to highlight the staircase wall then your could use earthy colours such as a yellow ochre! The wall could be enhanced even more by using suitable frames and making a good collage composition for all the photos that you have (I can see many lying on the dining table). This colour would match well with wooden furnitures

Hi Idsshyam, For beige walls, white tiles/marble are a classic pair. This gives you a blank canvas to work. You can also go for darker wood tones such as mahogany or ebony flooring to contrast the lighter wall colour. A cool-tones beige would also complement maple, birch or walnut wooden floors. These can easily bring a contemporary look to your space. Hope this helps. Good luck with your home design.
