Oh, don’t we love beige in our houses and on our walls. It’s light, adaptable and accommodating towards other colours and accents. Here are spaces that accentuate this shade in many different ways by including other statement-making hues. Read on and be inspired.
A light, cool beige lends warmth to a room while maintaining a steadfastly modern look. See how this desert-dust ambience gets a lift with a sprinkle of turquoise from the cushions.
In this eclectic room, pastel shades of pink, blue, red and green come alive because beige acts as the great balancer.
This furniture piece, drenched in an eye-catching shade of blue, makes magic in an all-beige room. Teal is a great shade to contrast with beige – it’s bright but not in-your-face, cheerful but not ditzy.
Super-bright, pop-out colours can add an extra zing to an area, especially when complemented by a toned-down hue surrounding them. In this living room, the bright-red curtains and sofa contrast with the beige carpet and walls to make the area look crisp, clean and dramatic.
In this space, the sofa and wall, bathed in two tones of beige, serve as ideal backdrops for the yellow cushion, softly striped carpet and green plant to pop. The mild tones of the room together give a sense of peace and comfort.
This room in varied hues of beige gets a shot of vibrancy with brighter shades like red, blue and hints of burgundy from the artful sliding panel. The bright tones are carried into the space via the sparkling vase and the flowers on the centre table.
In this all-beige room, just a spot of green from the plant, backed by the subtle green of the carpet, is enough to pep up the mood of the room. The dainty pendant and the gold accents add a regal touch and depth to the space.
This bedroom is a perfect mix of coffee and cream. See how different tones of beige have been used to contrast against each other. The delicately pale beige walls, with the walnut colours of the bedding and the browns of the ottoman and cushions, create a warm and cosy vibe.
