How Do I Make My Beige Living Room Interesting?

An easy and cost-effective way to bring character into your beige living room is by adding pillows and curtains in a contrasting color. Textured rugs are also a great way to jazz up your interior. Artwork and pendant lights can help you introduce a more personal touch to your living room. Mix and match materials such as wood, stone, and metals for timeless and elegant decor for your living space.

Pastel Tones and Gold Metal Accents

The great thing about working with beige as a base color is that it allows for unlimited experimentation. Metallic gold works beautifully with deep-tone neutral colors, including all shades of beige and brown. Because both beige and gold consist of yellow tones, a good trick to use here in order to create an effective contrast that’s not overpowering is by adding decoration in cool pastel tones. Great examples are these plush pastel blue sofas and powder pink ottoman that help bring the whole space together.

Mismatched Beige Living Room Furniture

When working with a nude color scheme, a great way to bring variety into your space while still sticking to a monochromatic color palette is by mixing and matching different fabrics and textures. A marble coffee table and a rattan rug are an unexpectedly good combination when comes to decorating your living space. A linen living sofa would work beautifully with one of the trendiest pieces of seating furniture at the moment – the Togo chair.

50 Shades of Brown

Monochromatic interiors can be oh, so chic when executed tastefully and sensibly. Incorporate different shades of brown and gray in the decoration of your living room. Use natural materials and minimalistic patterns for a clean and grounding interior atmosphere.

Bring harmony and tranquility into your living room by bringing the outside in with shades of brown and green. Tactile furniture such as raw surface wooden tables, textured fabrics, and organic shapes will instantly make your living space feel like an oasis. Incorporate shades of green with artwork, plants, and a big accent sofa to finish off the look.

Inversely, instead of committing to bold colorful furniture, you can go for a more minimalistic approach and opt for classic beige furniture pieces and add green accent walls instead. A rattan rug and cupboard will help create a more organic feeling in your space.

Beige and Pink Living Room Decor

Adding shades of pink in your living space will bring an instant feeling of serenity and comfort, as exposure to pink is known to have a calming effect on our brains. In order to achieve an elegant and minimalistic, yet modern design of your living space, you can combine light and deep shades of pastel pink with nudes and browns. Oval shapes and stone elements are becoming increasingly popular, so you can try to implement this trend by adding a statement stone coffee table that’s going to elevate the space even more.

Use Trendy Wallpapers to Liven Up Your Beige Living Room

I know that wallpapers might not be everybody’s cup of tea, and we all have different images pop into our heads when we try to imagine what they would look like in a room. With a little help from an experienced interior designer, wallpapers have the potential to really jazz up your living space! This zebra print wallpaper adds a fun character to the room without being overpowering, as the shades of brown and grays in the zebra pattern are reminiscent of those on the wainscoting and the wooden elements on the furniture pieces.
