The value of beige in modern interiors

As perhaps the most middle-of-the-road neutral tone when used as a backdrop, beige’s neutrality makes it easier to notice the potential of a space. This value makes beige a common decoration suggestion when selling homes, as prospective buyers can better envisage their own furniture or a new colour scheme on the blank canvas. It’s hard to get offended by beige but, if not handled correctly, it can be hard to get excited by it, too.

Creating interiors with beige

As a paint colour, beige is enjoying a recent resurgence. Choosing single-colour fabrics and decorative elements is a major rule for creating minimalist interior schemes, but some contrast is required to avoid blank, two-dimensional environments. The beige colour set provides an impressive array of complementary shades, without worrying about colour clutter. While the canvas-like finish allows opportunity for pops of accent colours to have a more explosive effect, without the cold, stark gallery-feel of white.
