Neutral living room

Beige wall paint gets a bad rap. For the indecisive, it's often considered a safe bet and a suitable option for any space. However, there's no shortage of beige shades to choose from when it comes to giving your interiors a new lease of life. 

Whether you're looking to coat walls or pick out a premium ceiling paint, beige is the way to go if you've got your heart set on a neutral scheme. A beige colour is also the perfect fit for contemporary spaces, with more muted palettes working well with natural materials like wood, stone and linen. 

What's more, beige can be used to create a warm and inviting interior, especially if you're accenting with more daring shades like orange paints and yellow. Ready to use beige paint to create a truly inspired interior? Our expert guide has all the insights you'll ever need. 

What Does Beige Paint Go With? 

If you're looking for a versatile neutral that will pair with just about any colour, beige is the perfect starting point. It's an ideal alternative to grey or white paints, especially if you're looking to avoid colder, more clinical interiors. 

You can easily combine beige hues with monochromatic colour schemes. Use your preferred shade alongside crisp whites and classic blacks for a neutral space that's not lacking in character.

Looking to create warmth? Earthy tones and burnt oranges work particularly well alongside beige, particularly in bedrooms and living spaces. If you're craving more colour, introduce teal furniture and metallic accents. 

If you're shopping for beige paint, it's easy to overlook neutrals. However, neutral hues are an effective pairing with any shade of beige paint

Once you've coated walls with a light beige paint, accent the rest of your room with darker shades like tan, clay and chocolate brown. Our categories are packed with eye-catching neutrals, providing you with plenty of colour inspiration.

Warm Beige Paints

Granulite K484
Pale Stony Brown
Lama V466
Tan With A Hint Of Pink
Gold Ore J462
Golden Tan

Warm beige paints can be an effective choice if you're looking to create a warm and inviting interior. Generally speaking, warm beiges tend to combine brown hues with a classic white base. The result is a rich, muted shade that pairs particularly well with off-whites and yellows alike. 

Looking for a warmer beige to kickstart your design project? Granulite K484 is a fine choice if you're a fan of grey and mauve undertones. This one works well with just about any grey, but it also pairs nicely with crisp whites and metallic accents. 

Lama L466 is a somewhat softer choice, but it's certainly not lacking in warmth. This one leans closer to the pink side of the palette, making it an ideal choice for rooms in need of a feminine touch. When it comes to coordinating with other colours, reach for muted off-whites and add character with dark woods and gold-tone accents. 

For something slightly softer, go with Gold Ore J402. This beautiful beige will turn the sparsest space into a welcoming sanctuary. You can team with this one other warm beige shades, or mix it up with contrasting whites and darker neutrals. 

Warm beiges tend to work best in smaller living rooms and bedrooms. However, they can still be put to use in larger rooms and open-plan arrangements. To prevent them from being too overwhelming, limit them to feature walls and then offset them with a light beige or off-white neutral. 

Light Beige Paints 

Acropolis F458
An Earthy Off-White
Coconut Y456
A Creamy White With Yellow Undertones
Halo F462
A Peachy And Harmonious Neutral

If you're planning a more contemporary makeover, it's best to arm yourself with a palette made up of light beige paints. The perfect alternative to lacklustre grey and white, light beige paint will add subtle depth and character. What's more, it will also allow natural light to bounce around freely, giving the illusion of extra space.  

Kaolin H497 is one of our standout light beige shades. With grey and blue undertones, it's a fine choice for a more contemporary interior. Furthermore, its versatile undertones make coordinating with accent colours incredibly straightforward. 

If you'd rather pick a beige with pink undertones, go with Coconut Y456. This premium paint colour adds instant warmth, but it's light enough that it will open your interior and create the impression of added space. You've also got free rein when it comes to incorporating complementary colours, with blush pinks and purples working particularly well. 

Halo F462 should also appeal to those in the market for a light beige paint with an undercurrent of pink. This one is soft and muted, making it a go-to choice for relaxing living rooms and serene bedrooms alike. 

If you're using light beige to paint walls in a larger space, make sure you're making full use of accent colours to ensure your room doesn't look washed out and sparse. Use complementary colours to add definition and don't be afraid to experiment with textures and natural materials to create visual interest.

Pink Beige Paints 

Sunday H480
Soft Beige With A Hint Of Pink
Maiden X420
Chic Peach Taupe
Empress X477
A Soft Pink With A Touch Of Grey

For bedroom makeovers, there are fewer better colour options than pink-beige wall paints. They're effortlessly romantic, creating a serene and inviting ambience. They're also easy to accent, with whites, greys and dusky palettes all working particularly well. 

Sunday H480 is a superior choice of pink beige. Its lilac undertones are on the richer side, making it a fine option for feature walls. If you choose this one to fill entire walls, use an off-white or understated neutral to dial things down a notch. 

Maiden X420 is another eye-catching option, but there's more of a pink palette simmering away here. Use this one if your space needs warming up, then accent with whites and neutrals to bring everything together. 

Looking for more ideas? Empress X477 is another standout pink-beige shade, but there's a more muted undertone at work here. Consider this one if you're thinking about introducing grey accent colours into the mix. 

Pink beiges can seem overwhelming, so they need to be used cautiously. Dealing with a smaller space? Think about reserving them for recessed and feature walls. 

For smaller rooms, a rich pink beige can create a cocooning effect. To add depth, play around with a tonal palette when picking out furniture, throws and other room fabrics.
