If there's one room where we aspire to feel good, it's the bedroom. We sleep there, we work there, and it's the place of all dreams. If you're reading this article, it's because you understand that the decor, and more specifically the color of the walls, has a major impact on the ambiance of the room, but also on your mood.
The great thing about decor and colors is that there's something for every taste and every space. You're probably looking for ideas on the colors you're going to use to repaint your bedroom, and it's in this search that you've thought of beige and brown to perfect your decor.
Beige will have the advantage of bringing brightness and nature into your room, and brown will accentuate depth as well as a warm appearance.
This article will help you create a combination of the different beige and brown colors available for your bedroom decor.
Why are beige and brown made for a master bedroom?
The first thing to emphasize about beige and brown is that they are timeless colors and will not fall victim to interior design trends.
If you're still unsure about the benefits of combining beige and brown on a wall, here are a few tips that will convince you.
Beige will give you softness
Soft, neutral, simple, and elegant: there's no shortage of adjectives to describe the color beige. It's the most versatile and standard color category on a color chart, second only to white, the standard paint used in construction.
Another important aspect is that its light color will affect the brightness of your room. This is a considerable advantage if you have a narrow room, or if you want to apply a deeper color like brown, for example. It is one of the basics that can be highlighted in all rooms of the house, whether bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, or bathrooms, for example.
Although beige is standard, it comes in a wide variety of shades , ranging from soft, white-like shades to sand beige and taupe beige, which are also quite popular.
Chances are you want a bedroom that's conducive to rest and relaxation. Beige meets this challenge with the major advantage of reflecting light and creating a sense of space, just like white.
If you're stuck for shades of beige, pampas beige and charming almond beige are standard colors that work well in a master bedroom. Better yet, this very soft type of beige will accentuate the contrast with a brown color, making it stand out more.
The brown color is very warm, enjoy it!
Rich and deep, the brown color is recognized in painting mainly for its very warm appearance reminiscent of wood, and the natural impression it gives off.
As with beige, it comes in a wide range of colors, the hybrid shades of taupe beige and beige containing brown tones confirm the bridge that exists between beige and brown.
Brown therefore comes in soft beige tones all the way to intense brown, such as chocolate. This diversity of shades undoubtedly allows you to use brown in any master bedroom or any other room in the house in which you wish to use this type of shade.
Providing comfort and a feeling of security, it is clear that an intimate place like the bedroom allows this type of use.
If we have one piece of advice to give regarding the use of brown, it's to prioritize it in a spacious bedroom with sufficient lighting. While it's an eye-catching and very deep color, brown can tend to darken a room. This is therefore a factor to consider for small, north-facing bedrooms.
For your bedroom, we recommend using shades like caramel brown, which contain beige, to avoid saturating your space. You can use deeper browns, but make sure that the shade is used on a wall or in a more designer way to highlight bedroom accessories like a chest of drawers, wardrobe, or wooden furniture.
If you're worried about the impact brown can have, use it on bedside tables or dresser drawers to avoid visually saturating the space.
How to combine beige and brown?
As you can see, beige and brown complement each other perfectly. Using these two colors together allows you to showcase a timeless style and the natural character provided by these two shades. There's no shortage of design ideas for the bedroom!
This complementarity lies in the fact that beige is soft and known for its neutrality. Creamy beige is an example of a versatile shade. Conversely, brown evokes the warmth of wood and earth. It is therefore a shade that should be used primarily with a color, such as beige or white. Beige will reflect the room, while brown stands out and draws the eye.
Contrast should be used with caution, taking into account the existing elements of your room: including the floor, furniture, and existing decor. A deep brown can be used to highlight a section of wall or simply to structure certain elements of the room.
Cushions, curtains and furniture such as the bedside table, bed, chest of drawers and wardrobe will clearly have a role to play, especially if your wooden elements are already in brown tones.
Play with contrasts for a successful decoration
So don't hesitate to use the contrasts that beige and brown can offer. For example, a light sandy beige can be used with a deep brown like chocolate brown.
For a cozy atmosphere , choose a creamy beige or linen beige with caramel brown and nuances. Note that this combination works perfectly if your room is small.
For a minimalist style , beige should be used in a large part of the room, with brown used in small touches on the bed frame, on the door frames or take advantage of wooden furniture like the chest of drawers to make reminders of the brown color.
The more brown you use, the more you'll end up with a cozy decor. Use our gingerbread brown shade on an entire wall, for example, to add depth and warmth to the room.
