16 inspiring beige bathroom ideas that are far from boring
Bring your beige bathroom ideas to life with these inspiring tips that prove neutral tones can be an exciting colour scheme
Beige is a versatile colour that has often been tarred with the negative brush of being boring. But, these beige bathroom ideas are anything but pedestrian and offer a refreshing and calming element to your bathroom colour scheme. Beige is a great base colour to build on and is easy on the eye which is perfect for the bathroom where you want to unwind and relax.
There are so many innovative ways to use beige bathroom ideas, you can go full neutral, incorporate texture for interest, or use it as a base for other bold colours or patterns.
Warren Kinloch, bathroom interior expert at Bathroom Deal(opens in new tab) says an element of contrast is the key to making beige pop in bathrooms. ‘We recommend either black or a dark brown to balance out the beige. You could use this contrasting colour in your shower screen, under-basin vanity, or in accessories throughout the room to bring the interior style together. We also recommend selecting either black, gold, or brass fixtures - such as taps - as opposed to silver to bring through an extremely modern look. Using silver with beige could run the risk of looking dated.’
Beige bathroom ideas
Beige is a great way to add warmth to your bathroom ideas and be used for your tiles, flooring, bath, or soft furnishings. Debbie Leigh, design manager at ILIV(opens in new tab) says, ‘Try monochrome designs for a contemporary feel or opt for a modern floral to inject some colour. Restful shades of taupe, mushroom, brown and grey all look great with beige as well as deeper tones of green, navy and charcoal. Natural textures such as wood, stone, and simple greenery will create a spa-like feel and help bring life to a neutral décor scheme.’
'When it comes to neutrals used throughout the home, the last few years has been dominated by greys. Beige is a natural progression,' says Abbas Youssefi, director of independent tile specialists Porcelain Superstore(opens in new tab). 'The world has gone through some strange times over the last few years and home has become a sanctuary for many. We are seeing this being reflected in their interior decisions.'
Beige is a timeless colour that will add elegance and style to your bathroom for years to come.
1. Add pattern with soft furnishings
Beige bathroom ideas pair beautifully with patterned soft furnishings such as towels, floor mats, curtains or blinds and storage baskets. The pattern and texture stop the beige from looking one-dimensional and flat.
‘A great way to modernise a beige colour scheme is to introduce pattern with soft furnishings,’ advises Debbie Leigh from ILIV. ‘Soft furnishings have a significant impact on the overall feel of a room. Layer plains and patterns carefully; when using bold patterns on your window treatment it is best to keep the towels plain or go for a plain fabric for a blind and experiment with a mixture of colours and patterns in your towels and accessories.’ Read More…
