Our beige colours


Beige as a colour in interior design

The term beige comes from the French and was used to describe the colour of raw wool or cotton. Basically, beige tones are light, yellow-brown colour shades. Beige is never a striking colour, but has a calm and relaxing effect. Thanks to its brown undertones, beige has a friendly and warm effect. This makes it a very popular colour in interior design

There are many shades of beige. It's like all colours: Beige is by no means the same as beige

Depending on the pigments that are added to the beige colour, many different shades of beige can result. The wide colour scheme of beige shades can offer anything from a fresh peach tone to a warm sandy tone. Depending on whether grey, yellow, white or reddish pigments are added to the colour shade, a wide variety of beige tones can be created. And it is precisely this versatility that makes beige a perfect combination colour

Shades of the colour beige

There is, for example, the colour shade Creme - a very light beige with a clear hint of yellow, as you will find in White with Vanilla from the Just paint collection or Creme Beige from the CosyColours collection. A touch of grey pigment has been added to the beautiful sand shade Beige with Sand. The subtle Soft Beige from the CosyColours chalk paints is lighter but in the same colour range. And a little more grey pigment can be found in Snuggly Linen Beige and Beige with Cashmere. The soft Smooth Beige has more red pigments, while Beige with Peach scores with a fresh apricot tone.

The following applies to all beige colours: they always have a grounding effect and bring calm to your home.

Beige colour for cosy living spaces

Beige is particularly popular as a wall paint in living spaces. Beige colour is particularly suitable for these rooms

  • Living room
  • Bedroom
  • Study

As you spend a lot of time in these rooms, restrained colours are particularly suitable. Beige tones have a subtle effect and give the room space. They create a harmonious atmosphere that will give you many years of pleasure

Beige tones can be combined in a huge variety of ways. Both delicate, pastel colour shades and bold, intense colours unfold their effect in the living room together with beige. But beige is also a good choice for the bedroom, as its warm radiance has a calming effect. You can choose between a subtle, light creamy beige or a subtle shade of beige with an admixture of grey. Beige colour is sure to adorn your walls in all shades

Tips for the trend colour beige

Especially with supposedly easy-to-use colours such as the entire beige colour scheme, it is important to have a few tips at hand to get the best colour combination

Living styles and trends in beige tones

The colour beige is a real all-rounder! Whether you combine it with a deep blue to create a maritime style or with a more washed-out grey and white because you're furnished in a country house style - beige is always a good addition without stealing the show from other colours

But it's also impossible to imagine classic living styles, such as French country or shabby style, without beige in its many nuances. A light beige colour also creates a cosy atmosphere in interiors with strong contrasts

You can also use various shades of beige in a clear, modern interior design style in which white and black dominate. White goes particularly well with muted tones such as beige, taupe or greige. This brings warmth and cosiness to an otherwise somewhat cool interior

Beige: combination colours

The colour beige not only suits a wide variety of interior styles, but also a wide range of colour shades. As it is discreet and never overpowering, you can combine it very well with strong colours, for example - it is best to choose colours such as red, orange and purple for a warm beige. Perhaps you could also combine a dark pink like Pink with Peony with Beige with Peach? But blue and green also go wonderfully with the wall paint beige. Maybe you paint an accent wall in Green with Forest, and a light Beige with Cashmere goes well with the surrounding walls

If you prefer an elegant and calm interior, beige also goes well with grey and white furniture. For a calm atmosphere, sand beige also goes tone-on-tone with warm earth tones or white wall paints

Combine the colour beige skilfully

Beige is one of the natural tones and nature is often the first thing that people associate with this colour shade. This can also be transferred to the interior. Beige with Sand wall paints, for example, go wonderfully with decorations featuring driftwood elements. Especially if you want to create a maritime interior. In general, natural materials such as seagrass and natural woods go almost perfectly with beige wall paints. Combined with jute and linen, your home will be particularly stylish!

A bold pink or soft red, such as MissPompadour Red with Raspberry, is also a wonderful complement to beige wall paints. Perhaps add golden accents with a picture frame or a brass lamp
