Beige ~ Anything but Boring

Beige ~ Anything but Boring

Neal Beckstedt


I unapologetically love beige.  All hues; from the ever so slight ivory to a creamy tan to a warm honey, caramel, greige, and every permutation in between.  It's quiet, subtlety whispering for your attention in its shape, texture, and tone.

It's easy to make it crisp and modern but not stark, like white may have a tendency to do

The color (or lack thereof) sets off beautiful wood, architectural elements, and trim, while other colors really pop against it.

The key to keeping it beautiful and not bland is texture, texture, texture.

But make no mistake, when paired with white it is striking and rich looking.  It is also a great foil for any and every other color

Beige is elegant and rich, it's steadfast and enduring.  When you are investing in pieces that may have to last a lifetime, a neutral makes the most sense.  It's a workhorse color, but it's also a chameleon.

You can shake things up using beige by carefully considering its undertones:  pink, gold, and taupe that leans towards gray.  Think light to dark when working with tone on tone.  I love the addition of brown:  it just makes sense, as it is the darkest valuation of beige.

Think shiny, matte, furry, consider a little linen, jute under mohair, cotton resting on silk velvet.
