Beige is the new white: neutral layers, tranquil spaces

Beyond Bland

Beige ain’t your grandma’s wallpaper… at least not anymore! Forget those flat, lifeless beiges of the past. This new wave of beige is all about layers, textures, and depth. Think chunky knit throws that beg you to snuggle, woven baskets and timber floors that add a touch of rustic charm, and rugs with variable tones creating a visual feast for your eyes.

Shades of serenity

Beige has a calming earthiness to it, like the sand beneath your feet or the warm hug of the earth. So bring that serenity home! Imagine a bathroom with soft towels against stone tiles, the rainfall showerhead whispering sweet nothings, and candles flickering for a spa-like sanctuary.

Beige isn’t just one shade, it’s a whole family! You got your cool taupes channeling the calming ocean vibes, and your warm creams bringing that sun-kissed glow. Experiment and find the perfect beige shade that speaks to your room’s soul – because yes, rooms have souls, and that’s not just my crystals talking.

Achieving the Look

Painting isn’t your only option, you cheeky paint-aholic! Explore textured wall treatments like Venetian plaster or wainscoting in beige for that extra oomph. Feeling fancy? Wallpaper with subtle patterns or woven grasscloth can add a unique touch. Remember, walls are like your blank canvas, so get creative (maybe even clad your walls in timber like these guys)!

Bring the outdoors in, literally! Wood flooring and furniture adds warmth, while stone countertops offer a touch of sophistication. Don’t forget texture-rich fabrics like linen and wool for throws, cushions, and curtains.

If you read our last email, you might remember we spoke about embracing rich textures in your interior design. That’s even more important when you’re going for a minimal palette but want to avoid the sterile nature of a ‘white box’.
