Beige Wall Tiles - Underappreciated, Or Underachieving?

What can be said about beige? That default of colours, that chromatic fall back that has so polarised the world of home decoration. For many beige is a nice neutral colour, perfect for decorating any room of the house you care to name and one that goes with just about any other colour to boot. It’s nice, it’s friendly, and it’s unobtrusive. However, others say, beige is the refuge of the unimaginative and the stolid. It’s a colour about as exciting as a Catholic funeral, and with half the energy. As such when looking at beige wall tiles, it may be hard for some to come to their own conclusions about the merits of this particular colour.

The truth of the matter is that beige, like any other colour, can come in a wide variety of tones and shades. There isn’t just beige, there’s a variety of beige that you can choose from. Each individual option can have its own impact on the mood and feel of a given room.

With effective use of beige wall tiles, or beige paints if you choose to forgo tiling entirely, there’s actually an infinite number of things you can do. It’s perfectly fine for people to want to use alternative colours, and to buck what they may see as a stodgy, uninspired tradition for something that more suits them. That’s what decorating is all about: taking a room, or even a whole building, and making it yours in every aesthetic sense.

But let’s not do beige a disservice here. It’s a colour equally as viable as any other, and you should not be dissuaded from it simply because of mere counter-cultural snobbery. Used correctly, and you could make beige a colour that’s not only versatile, but moody, evocative and, yes, even exciting.

For example, if you use a particularly light collection of beige wall tile shades and apply them to a living room that’s fairly poky, you can immediately give the impression of calm, light and space. Light reflects more easily from brighter shades and colours, and this added light can quickly present the illusion of a room being much larger than it really is.

While white tiles can do this equally as well, pure white can look a little too sterile, clinical and severe. Beige wall tiles can give the impression of space, yet are softer and less stark in appearance. This stops your home from looking like a hospital, and more like a place that can be lived in.

Experimentation with beige can be equally as creative, and perhaps arguably more so, than experimenting with a range of colours. Once you get a proper understanding of how the tone of a colour can directly impact the mood of a room, you’ll quickly find your mind coming up with new ways to take this colour and make them your own. The mind is indeed the limit, and you can quickly see for yourself why the reputation for beige wall tiles as boring simply shows a lack of vision.
