Natural and timeless, beige remains the perfect color to bring softness and modernity to its interior. But how to adopt it at home without ending up with a neutral and charmless decoration? We give you some advice!
The meaning of beige color
Much warmer and more elegant than immaculate white, beige remains the favorite choice for interiors in search of softness and modernity. At home, he creates that warm and cozy atmosphere in which you feel good. Beige is a real ode to nature, it qualifies natural wool or any fabric that has not received either dyeing or bleaching. If we appreciate it so much today, it's because it symbolizes calm and serenity. If it is a color that embodies stability and harmony in Feng Shui, it conversely represents the lack of dynamism and creativity when it is predominant. To avoid gloom, we prefer to associate it with warmer shades such as brown or terracotta. Beige has the advantage of bringing out everything around it.

Even if it's a bit messy, the beige sofa still has its effect in a living room! For a warm look, we pay attention to the choice of materials and we favor looped wool or fabric.
