A Reddish-Brown Sofa With Light Grays and Soft Tans

Decorate with understated artwork, small plants, light beige living room walls, and throw pillows with geometric patterns for an even more stylish look.

This minimally decorated living room plays with a wider range of brown hues and pairs them with sleek black accents. The classic shade of brown on the couch sets the tone for the room as a whole and is echoed in the terracotta planters.
The color of the wood floor works well as a stepping stone between the brown of the couch and the peachy tone of the walls while the chevron pattern adds depth and texture.
A Deep, Muted Brown Paired With Crisp Whites and Neutral Tones
Dark brown sofas with suede or microfiber fabric are an instant hit in any home. This type of sofa pairs beautifully with a wide range of furniture and allows for endless styling options with unique decorative pillows.
Showcasing a brown sofa in a living room consisting of accents in other neutral tones and crisp white furniture is an easy way to ground the intensity of the dark brown.
Another instant classic when it comes to brown sofas is velvet fabrics. This type of fabric is known for creating a feeling of luxury, especially in a living room.

An Ultra Modern Dark Brown Couch Paired With Other Shades of Brown
In our final example, we’re combining mid-century modern touches with ultra-modern styles. So far, brown sofas have been used in spaces that are mostly light and airy, but that style isn’t for everyone.
You can harness the sense of strength, reliability, and nature that comes with brown by creating a living room that uses an exclusively brown color scheme. This unique style is ideal for those who love to stand out.
Using marble in the design of your home instantly provides a feeling of ultimate luxury. With so many different colors, unique patterns, and tile shapes to play with, you can easily create visual interest as well as a luxurious atmosphere in any room of the home. That being said, marble is naturally water resistant, making it the perfect choice for bathrooms.
If you are thinking of using marble in your bathroom renovation, have a look at the list below. You can find the most inspiring marble bathroom ideas to help you create the bathroom design of your dreams.
All Over Gray Marble Bathroom With Cream Accents
One of the most eye-catching marble bathroom ideas is combining marble countertops with matching marble walls and floors. In this specific take on the trend, the color palette is very monochrome with the medium gray marble which allows for a cohesive look.
To complete the style, an off-white curtain is paired with smaller accessories in neutral tones for added warmth.
For those looking for white marble bathroom ideas, try pairing white marble with light gray veining and white walls, accents, and fixtures. This modern marble bathroom idea creates a clean, polished look that’s perfect for smaller spaces.
In addition, the marble shower walls that continue into wainscoting provide a sleek feel that plays with the existing wall space.
As mentioned previously, marble comes in a wide variety of patterns. This makes the design possibilities endless, especially when it comes to marble bathroom walls. This is a very simple, yet modern bathroom design that uses large marble tile pieces across both the walls and floor to maximize the impact of the pattern.
You can also add a bit of contrast to the space by including touches of black or other dark tones within your marble tile bathroom.
Dark Gray Modern Marble Bathroom With Industrial Touches
If you’re looking for marble bathroom ideas that have a dramatic impact, this interior design style is for you. The gray walls created from unique marble tiles are complemented by the black metal vanity which adds a slight industrial feel.
The freestanding tub is placed at center stage, the bright white creating a focal point without much effort. The dramatic nature of this design is balanced perfectly by the minimalist accessories, preventing the room from becoming overwhelming when combined with the texture.
The ceiling height in this space makes it one of the most impressive marble tile bathroom ideas on the list.
To make a more subtle statement with your marble tile bathroom ideas, try pairing a black marble shower with large white subway tile. This design takes some of the other marble bathroom ideas and approaches the use of marble differently by treating it as an accent instead of the main event.
The naturally high contrast between the black and white tiles is pleasing to the eye while combining modern luxury and classic decor ideals.
You don’t have to rely on creating a marble wall, marble vanity, or marble shower to have a touch of luxury in your home. The simple use of tile marble on the floor is a common and more subtle way to achieve a “marble bathroom” feel. You can use the same design principles of contrast by pairing black marble with a white tile, such as subway tile, to create a timeless look. The addition of a modern tub and fixtures also helps to bring everything together.
For those who want the floor-to-ceiling marble design but with a bit of extra personality, pairing marble tile in different shapes and colors may be the answer. In this bathroom, the marble floor in the shower area ties into the whiter shade of the marble vanity top while adding further contrast through the use of a chevron pattern.
This combined with the brassy gold fixtures throughout the space creates a cohesive color scheme that’s very sleek and stylish.
So far, we’ve focused mainly on marble bathroom ideas that rest heavily on marble in shades of gray, white, and black. However, that are other, less common shades of marble available that aren’t often used in bathrooms. For example, choosing a marble that has more of a sandy tone allows you to play with wood and brown accents in a way that you wouldn’t have been able to before.
One other unique way to maximize a marble bathroom is by continuing the same type of large tiles from the marble floors, up the wall to the ceiling, and across plumbing fixtures.
This design style creates a stunning marble sink that’s guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind. This works well in both a compact space or a more spacious bathroom, especially when used in conjunction with a glass shower door as this maximizes the visual space.
Bright White Floor to Ceiling Marble With White and Neutral Decor
If you enjoy bright spaces and your bathroom has a lot of natural light, you can elevate the effect by using a white marble floor in conjunction with white marble walls, a white vanity, and white or neutral accent pieces. In addition, mirrored medicine cabinets also reflect the natural light, brightening the space even more.
Anyone looking for a fresh take on the common marble bathroom ideas of pairing white marble with black or dark brown accents will love this bathroom. This design takes the all-marble bathroom trend and breaks up the white with a black wood vanity face and matching faucet. The subtle appearance of the wood grain also adds depth to the space by mixing textures.

Uniquely Patterned Marble Tiles With Medium Brown Accents
If you’ve found a bold marble pattern that you love, but are unsure how to harness it in your bathroom, this is the design idea for you. Continue the unique pattern across the space by using it to create a marble floor and wall as well as a marble vanity.
This can easily produce an intensity in the bathroom, so to balance it out, you’ll want to use more neutral accents such as items in a medium brown, wicker texture.
Mixed Marble With Other Patterns, Materials, and Colors
As mentioned previously, we can sometimes produce an eye-catching design by using marble accents or mixing marble with other materials and colors. In this bathroom idea, you can a combination of two popular materials used in modern bathrooms: marble and stone. This idea pairs a marble vanity with dark gray stone walls which allows both materials to stand out in their way.
In this large marble tile bathroom, the popular gray marble pattern used along both the shower wall and floor continues outside of the shower space as we’ve seen in other designs. Unlike other designs, however, this bathroom utilizes solid black fixtures, accents, and trim for a bold touch. The small strip of bare white wall above the marble balances out with the solid white of the toilet to maximize the effect.
In the last of our marble bathroom ideas, white marble tile with gray veining is being used as a material for wainscoting while the rest of the wall is a gentle, solid white. The sleek straight lines of the tile are echoed throughout the other elements in the room with the circular mirror contrasting beautifully. The dark smooth grey of the vanity topped by the white sink works well to pull each element together in a complete look.

The white wardrobe opposite the window blends in nicely with the bedroom environment and the collection of baskets on top adds even more warmth to the setting.
A small hallway with a large mirror on the wardrobe doors
The hallway is rather small and doesn’t have any direct natural light coming in. A large mirror on the wardrobe doors reflects a bit of daylight coming from the kitchen and it also makes the space look bigger than it actually is. Great trick.
Green is the color of nature, so it’s only natural that it makes an excellent hue for a beautiful living space. If you’re thinking of incorporating a green sofa into your living room, it’s a wonderful way to add a fresh feel and a whole new look to this important part of the home.

The beautiful dark wood kitchen cabinets stand out against the white walls in this attic apartment. The kitchen goes floor-to-ceiling, highlighting the sloped roof in the space. You can find the doorway leading up to the bedroom in between the two kitchen modules.
In front of the kitchen, you can find a beautiful oval dining table paired with smoked oak dining chairs just a few wood tints lighter than the kitchen cabinets. A niche space in front of the window is used for a home office spot with a beautiful view over the rooftops.
The dark wood kitchen cabinets are finished with beige limestone countertops and a modern chrome faucet. The countertop material comes back in the backsplash as well for a finished look.
Small and subtle wood hardware adds a minimal and elegant touch to the kitchen cabinets. Note that the kitchen counter continues into the niche space next to the window, utilizing this rather awkward attic layout to create more countertop space for a coffee machine.
The desk in front of the window is made out of the same wood as the kitchen cabinets for an integrated effect into the space.
A sofa area on the other side of the living kitchen
The dining table separates the kitchen from the sofa area on the other side of the room. The area rug underneath the sofa visually separates this area from the rest of the space.
A white sofa is paired with a white area rug for a light base palette from which the dark wood tones stand out. The combination of white and dark wood matches perfectly with the material palette in the rest of the apartment.
A mixture of beige and brown tones in the textiles on the sofa blends in with the soft and cozy living room palette.
The two niche spaces next to the living room window are used for placing a plant and a small bookshelf.
A larger niche spot with an exposed brick wall is the perfect spot for a cozy reading corner with a small table and lamp.

The chrome bathroom fixtures add an elegant metallic touch to the bathroom look and the integrated shower bench turns this bathroom into a wellness area.
An entryway with custom storage modules
The entryway has an assymetric floor plan, which is always a little trickier to decorate. A custom wardrobe module enhances the space and provides it with lots of storage space. A dark oak open shelving brings the dark wood aesthetic to this section of the apartment as well.
This open shelf is perfect for a beautiful selection of carefully selected objects.
On the other side of the entryway, you can find a beautiful mirror table that is painted in a soft grey color.
In a world full of bright colors and over-stimulation, our homes have become an even greater place of refuge. As a response, many homeowners and interior designers have begun embracing a contemporary living room design.
Modern decor styles highlight tones of grey, beige, and white within an overall minimalist ideal. To achieve such a minimal color palette, it’s best to start with the biggest surfaces like your walls and sofa color.
If you’re thinking about introducing a beige sofa in your living room, have a look at the comprehensive list below. The list includes the most inspiring design ideas for your living room centered around beige sofas and calming atmospheres.
A Monochromatic Beige Living Room
Possibly the most popular and simple way to style a beige sofa is by surrounding it with other shades of beige to create a cozy living room design.
This beige living room is full of neutral color and natural light, working together to create a space that exudes peace and calm. Not only is this the perfect place to unwind, but the matching framed art prevents the room from feeling flat.
For a similar feel but with a more minimalist touch, pair a beige couch that has a more modern design with a homogeneous color palette that also features touches of black or dark brown.
The sofa has a natural ability to blend into the background, which creates the perfect opportunity to highlight other pieces of furniture. This living room showcases a unique coffee table on an off-white area rug as the main focal point.
A Beige Sofa in a White Living Room With Dark Wood Accents
White walls create a blank canvas when it comes to the overall interior design of a living room. The bright white allows a room to feel bigger, but it also works to provide a level of contrast.
In this living room, the combination of the walls and the dark flooring allows for a broad spectrum of shades to be used. The beige sofa works to bring everything together, creating a bridge between the dark woods and bright whites.
Mix a Beige Couch With Different Textures and Pops of Color
For those looking to create a relaxing living room that is a welcoming space to everyone, pair your cozy light beige sofa with warm shades of neutral colors, textured accents, and pops of brighter colors.
This living room features a lot of earthy touches while having a fun splash of cool blue. The blue itself is not overwhelming and in a tone that matches the overall feel of the living room.
Achieve Complete Individuality With a Beige Couch That Makes a Statement
If you’re looking for a fresh take on the standard beige living room design, try a Togo sofa with a bold design. This adds a layer of personality and visual interest to the space. Combine this with a white patterned area rug and you have a design that’s all your own.
In this living room specifically, the plush couch resting on the floor establishes a casual air in an otherwise formal space.
A Dark Beige Living Room With Bold Statement Pieces
Darker shades of beige are becoming more popular in contemporary living room design. This living room flaunts a wide range of natural tones as well as a couple of statement pieces to add visual interest.
The thin black metal of the coffee table also works well to create contrast with the plush beige rug. The couch itself features pillows and is positioned in a way that feels inviting, an important element when properly styling a beige living room.
If you’re looking to blend vintage elements in your home with more modern pieces, a cream-colored sofa may be the answer.
This gentle tone of beige paired with slightly bolder beige pillows, creates a one-of-a-kind environment when paired with the pops of red on the sconces and the dark wooden coffee table. Everything in this room comes together to provide a neutral space for residents and guests alike to enjoy.
Pair Medium Beige Living Room Furniture With a Variety of Textures
For those who find earthy shades and natural wood a must in their home, a medium beige palette is a no-brainer. The darker beige paint color on the walls and patterned throw pillows work with the touches of greenery and other textured elements to create a cohesive look.
Furthermore, the natural materials throughout and the bold area rug draw you in and make you feel at home. Positioning the couch in front of two large windows helps to bring light into the room.
Combine a Light Beige Couch With Whites, Light Wood, and Greenery
You don’t have to be an interior designer to have a bright living room that blends neutral tones and plant life. Simply pair an off-white couch with a spacious living room layout and light wood accents to achieve the desired effect.
Decorate with art pieces, area rugs, pillows, plants, and more for a welcoming air. The addition of adequate light and other subtle beige elements serve to draw you into the space. You can even elevate the space further with intricate crown molding or gold accents.
A Fully Modern Living Room With Soft Lines and Textures
Embrace a modern beige living room with beige walls, textured art, a bold coffee table, and a unique sofa. This space combines a few different living room ideas by taking furniture and neutral tones that have certain elements and qualities in common and putting them together for a distinctive room.
The framed artwork on the walls creates interest in a way that isn’t distracting and doesn’t subtract from the overall calm of the room.
A Contemporary Living Room With Sharp, Clean Lines
In contrast to the previous living room, this room creates a focal point around the sofa through the use of sharp, clean lines.
The pale shade of beige in the single pillow on the couch contrasts well with the darker tones on the floor and coffee table while the choice of white instead of beige walls allows for a brighter living room. This also helps the angled walls seem less imposing, allowing for a more relaxed living room.
So far, many living room ideas have focused on the elements at eye level or that are directly interacted with by those in the home. However, changes to the crown molding of living rooms can go a long way in elevating a neutral beige design.
A soft beige couch paired with off-white tones and plant life can easily appear flat and uninspired without other elements to balance it out. One solution to this is to replace your original crown molding with molding that has intricate designs or a splash of a complementary color such as a neutral cream or beige shade.
Mix White and Shades of Beige With Dark Wood Flooring
For an elegant, comfortable beige living room, offset your dark flooring through the use of beige and white walls, a beige couch, and umber accents such as pillows and miscellaneous decor. In this living room, the beige of the walls, ceiling light, and couch are nearly the same shade.
However, the pillows and throws on the couch allow it to stand out from the background just enough to be inviting. The glass-topped coffee table further adds an air of elegance and sophistication.
Combine Dark Tones and Statement Pieces With a Mix of Textures
In our final beige couch living room, a dark palette and bold statement pieces are blended with several different textures to create a room that keeps the eye moving without overloading it. This works by combining contrasting textures such as a sheepskin throw, jute rug, and stone table all in tones of white or beige to keep things interesting to look at.
Though this particular room doesn’t feature pillows, the addition of beige-toned pillows may be a welcome addition to some.
Complete your Beige Living Room with a Beige sofa and Gallery wall
To achieve a tonal effect, complete your beige living room walls with a beige couch and a gallery wall with predominately beige tones for a tranquil effect.
Brighten up this warm and glowy beige look with white textiles like curtains, pillowcases, and a textured area rug.
Use a Beige Couch to Complement more Prominent Room Features
This beautiful living room features an impressive exposed brick wall and a massive window that lets in an abundance of natural light. The beige couch blends in with the color of the bricks and doesn’t take away any attention from this amazing feature, but rather complements it nicely.
