Beige is the go-to colour when it comes to home decor. From beige living room to bedrooms to kitchen, and everything in between – this understated neutral shade goes well with any setting. Unfortunately, this ageless colour gets a bad rep for also being “boring.”
Well, we’re here to prove otherwise!
All you need is the perfect beige colour combination, and you could make a bold, aesthetic statement that can amp up your home! And what are these combinations? Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Beige + White: Minimalistic
A combination of beige and white is a tale as old as time – a classic that you never get tired of. With their complementary neutral shades, they strike up a mix that aims for timelessness. The resulting elegance offers a clean and minimalistic look that can work for every room of your home – and even the exteriors if you wish! Plus, the light shades add to the illusion of airiness and can make even the small spaces appear roomy.
The soft contrast makes it visually appealing and adds warm cosiness that makes the place appear inviting, which yet again makes a compelling case for trying out this combo in key areas such as your living room, bedroom, and kitchen.
Beige + Grey: Chic Sleek
If you think grey is dull and gloomy, have you ever tried pairing it with a lively colour like beige? This combination is practically a hack to making your place look classy without being too obvious about it. The grey accentuates the warmth of beige, while beige makes the grey pop out.
This stark contrast offers a balance that has a soothing and calming effect on the eye, which makes it great for your living room, kitchen, and bedroom. Not to forget that grey and beige are less likely to soil than white and beige, so if you have kids around, you could bank on this combination to come through.
Beige + Blue: Calming
We’ve been going on and on about how beige leans towards a warm shade. And so, it would only make sense to try and pair it with blue – the gold standard for cool colours! Here’s where it gets exciting because the beige and blue combination unlocks a world of opportunities. For instance, you have a sea blue and beige bedroom if you are looking to recreate the relaxed, beachy vibe.
Alternatively, a hint of turquoise or cobalt will make the decor of your beige living room feel modern. You can even try navy or royal blue with beige to bring out a stark contrast for a slightly dramatic effect. So pick your shade of blue to give your home a personality of its own.
Beige + Green: Earthy
It is so easy to orchestrate visual cues and form emotional bonds if you have found the right combination. As seen above, the combination of blue and beige draws up a mental image of the sea and the sand. Similarly, green and beige paint a picture of grass, foliage, trees, forests – essentially, all things nature.
You could go as conventional as beige with emerald green or beige with olive, or you could have some fun trying beige with mint or an offbeat beige with sage (hey, they even rhyme!). It is also a low-hanging fruit because you can incorporate green in the form of live or artificial indoor plants, which is not too hard to pull off. No matter what shade of green you pick, the end result would be a refreshing combination that makes your place look homely.
Beige + Pink: Soft Modern
Pastel pink has been a popular home decor and interior colour of late. And it’s also great that it is breaking the mould of gendered colouring, which is why we are all for embracing it! Beige and pink carry a similar visual weight that makes the transition between the rooms or their elements effortless and easy on the eye. At the same time, you would have created a warm, inviting, and appealing colour combination that one simply cannot look away from!
Alternatively, if you want to add some visual complexity, you can try the combination of beige and pink with other colours, such as green and blue to put together a layered effect. You can even create a colour palette of similar colours, beige with almond, burgundy, and brown, and pink with soft red, rusty orange, and mauve for a harmonious blend.
The above beige colour combinations can truly upgrade your home and elevate the style of your living spaces. This guide can come in particularly handy whether you are looking to pick out rugs, paintings, furniture, upholstery, curtains, linens, or even paint for your home where beige dominates as the primary colour. HomeLane has a ton of good stuff that you can check out so that you experiment with various combinations without breaking the bank. So, what are you waiting for? Go on and make your home “unboring”!
