Beige living room: how to decorate

Beige has gone from boring to one of interior design's most wanted choices — warm, calm and easy to build on. The key is layering several close tones.

How beige works in the living room

In the living room, beige creates a warm, gathered space; layer sofa, rug and cushions in close tones and let texture do the work.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the room's largest colour surfaces and a clear seating group. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with beige

Beige plays with white, brown, cream and black for contrast. Sage green and terracotta add life without breaking the calm.

Materials and details

Linen, wool, rattan and light wood are beige's natural friends; varied textures keep it from feeling flat.

The most common mistake

Running a single beige tone everywhere — it goes lifeless. Layer light and dark beige and vary the materials.

See beige in the living room — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the living room and type "repaint the living room in beige". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
