There is still beauty in a deep beige, but it is important to know where to put it.
Its a toned-down white that works nicely in a softer, warmer home design.
It works well on ceilings and walls by not making them feel like theyre caving in, said Seifrit.
This shade is very versatile and works well in most spaces.
It is known for being a good first beige to try if youre not sure what shade to choose.
This has been popular with Seifrits clients on cabinets, trim, and doors.
Seifrit has seen this work beautifully on porch floors and bathroom vanities.
This is why its important to sample your paint color on multiple walls.
Get large paint samples and tape them exactly where you plan on painting.
This will help you see how lighting throughout the day impacts the color on the spot youplan to paint.
Where To Use Beige Paint In Your Home
Beige doesnt just have to be confined to walls.
Its rising in popularity in cabinetry, for example.
Flanigan explained that beige complements warm metal hardware like antique silver, nickel, and bronze.
Painting anopen floor plancan be challenging, as it’s hard to determine where to stop and start colors.
While picking one color and using it everywhere works well, Seifrit and Flanigan emphasized a need for contrast.
you might also incorporate beige in an open floor plan through Interior doors and ornate trim.
Flanigan said beige pairs nicely with jewel tones and moody neutrals like muted olive green.
Layering cool and warm beiges together can also create depth.
There are endless possibilities for beige in your home.
This warm neutral is an investment worth considering.
