Gray and beige

Candice Kroeker

Is it okay to mix gray and beige walls throughout your house? I love gray but I don't want it in every room. I really like mega griege by SW. I also like Kilim beige. Can they go together? They wouldn't be in the same room but you might still see them at the same time. I also like intellectual gray. Please help.

It's even OK to mix gray and beige in the same room.

No beige. Yuck. Boring. Depressing. Try grey and taupe instead but make sure there's some contrast. Like a darker grey and a lighter taupe and vice versa. White trim for a crisp clean finish. And let there be at least a touch of blue in the grey.

My definition of beige must be much narrower than most of yours. I don't consider off-white, grey, or taupe to be beige. Beige to me is in the tan family. I love grey with all neutrals, but I don't like tan-beige to be a main color like an entire wall. Just feels like a missed opportunity. dclostboy's colors only have 1 beige in the mix. It is my least favorite of the 4 but it's a nice combination of colors.
