While picking out paint colors for your interior, I’m sure beige has crossed your mind. It’s a neutral paint color that is often picked out in all sorts of homes because of how accessible beige is to pair up with other interior elements. For this reason though in the past years, it has been called boring as well.
Below I gathered the most inspiring living room designs with beige walls that are far from boring and I promise you they will make you want to whip out your paintbrush.
Warm beige walls combined with beige and white soft furnishings
This living room with historic features has been painted in a warm beige paint color with subtle red undertones. The wood tints in the floor and furniture, combined with the warm velvet armchair and the textile fabric lamp warm up the color of the living room wall, while the white sofa and the blue pillowcases add cool colors to the mix.

A subtle beige living room with an elegant look
Depending on from which angle you look at these walls, this wall color could fall in the beige or off-white category. Nevertheless, its modest and subtle qualities bring out the beautiful tones in the artwork and the pink and brown accessories in the interior design.
I also like the way the black Valerie Objects wall lamp contrasts against the perfect canvas of the wall color.

Work with Different Colors to add depth and Style
If you’re worried your beige living room will look boring or uninspired, you can make the look more unique and characterful with subtle pops of color. A pop of pink, orange, yellow, teal, or blue will create a focal point that stands out against the shades of beige.

Match your Beige Paint with a Beige Sofa and Natural Details
To achieve a warm and tonal effect, pair warm beige walls with a beige sofa and a natural color palette in your furniture pieces. Pick out white textiles to brighten the palette and achieve a light look.
If you want to go a step further, include a gallery wall in beige tones to make your room feel balanced and tranquil.
