I grew up in houses with all white walls (actually I still live with them since we are renting and can’t paint our walls!)

I used to fantasize about all the colors I could paint the walls – dove gray, light mint, or rich red come to mind. But I recall going to a friend’s housewarming party and seeing the muted colors she used for her decor – beige and white. The beige and white contrast walls were very elegant and subdued. She dressed up the decor with interesting pieces from trips to Bali and these brought a nice dimension to the otherwise understated colors. Beige and white is definitely classic and conservative, but that doesn’t mean that it is boring (especially when it is filled with statement pieces!) I’m reminded of a home in the country or a staple summer outfit (white shirt and khakis of course).
There are definitely reasons why some combinations remain classic.
Love the second room–it’s really inspiring . . .
beige and white are so clean together! i like how you described your friend’s home and hope to clean up my living room with some beige and white 🙂
I live neutral colours on the walls, as you can give your house a different look depending on how you decor it 🙂
Beige and white is such a lovely, relaxing environment to be in – these images are lovely.

I am totally smitten with the last outfit. The soft colours work so well together. happy day, sweetie.
I love the third photo, and of course the model’s shoes in the last! I have white walls, too, but think I won’t stray too far from them once we own. I love muted colors, and dressing them up with fun statement pieces always works!
Oh and PS I am totally holding you to the swap! I would love to try some Asian products xo
I have beige walls. Then I like to add pieces of color through decor. It’s great having a neutral palette.

I love the painting in the first pic. I wish I had more color to rock this look more often, too but you are right – total classic.
these are gorgeous and stunning photos.. you never think of beige as “exciting” but these photos are done so well and so elegant!

They’re such great tones. I’m redoing my living room and going in this direction as well 🙂 Hope you’re having a great week! xoxo
