When it comes to interior design, color is one of the most powerful tools that can transform any space. I moved into the apartment I owned for the first time, I did a lot of research. I quickly realized that one color that fits the best to my aesthetics is beige. Living in Norway, it wasn’t difficult to decorate my home with one of the most loved colors in Scandinavia. Beige is such a timeless color that continues to captivate homeowners and designers alike. In this blog post, we’ll explore the versatility of warm beige colors and provide you the examples of how I decorated my home with this color.
1. Wall color
Consider using light beige as the primary color in your living room, bedroom, or dining room. It provides a serene backdrop for your furnishings and allows your decor to shine.
2. Beddings
Invest in beige bedding such as pillowcases, blanket covers, and even a headboard. Not only it give elegance and comfort to your bed and the bedroom, but also easier to clean than a white sheet while it still shows spots if you need to clean.
3. Wooden furniture
Warm beige complements natural materials such as wood, stone, and rattan. I love incorporating light woods into my interior design! Oak, pine, and bamboo trees are absolutely gorgeous when they are treated with light beige colors. I love showing the natural wood patterns and texture of these woods on my furniture such as tables and on the floor.
4. Fabric pieces
Fabric pieces such as pillows, rugs, curtains, and lampshades are absolutely gorgeous in different shades of beige. By having color beige in these pieces can show different textures of your fabric better than other deeper or more vibrant colors while less prone to show browning and darkening of the fabric. That means it is easier to take care of your housing!
5. Sofa
A sofa is like a combination of the number 3 wooden furniture and the number 4 fabric pieces. It is a huge piece of furniture that will fill up your living room, therefore choosing this piece will completely change the whole atmosphere of your room. By choosing a warm beige color for your sofa, you are choosing warmth and coziness.
It is ironic that we find beige so beautiful and yet we like it even more because it makes other objects shine better. But that is exactly the beauty of using beige – it sets a beautiful, nice, cozy, and clean canvas for the home. My home has an overall beige and white tone with green, yellow, and gold as statement colors. I hope you have fun decorating your home, too!
