Make the Most of Your Beige & Brown Roman Shades
Besides impressive adaptability and ageless appeal, beige and brown are appreciated for their unique personality. They are neutral colors with reddish undertones that, in addition to offering a calming presence, make a welcoming and comfortable environment through their sheer warmth and organic elegance. When dressing your windows with beige roman shades and brown window blinds, the aim should be to make the most of the quietness and aptitude of these colors to further your aesthetic goals. In this regard, our stylists share some inspiring ideas:
Enhance Homely Charm
Both color psychologists and home designers agree that colors are key to making an ‘ambiance’. If creating homely warmth with a touch of nature is your goal, earthy hues like sandy beige, tree trunk brown and all their related shades can get you there. Since these colors are so commonly found in nature, when they are brought to the interiors, they coat the home with the same understated natural elegance. They neither make pretense nor offer an invigorating presence, but on the contrary, offer a raw, natural and gentle charm. While bold colors offer allure and saturated colors bring drama, beige and brown extend homeliness, a lived-in feel, and a sense of warmth and coziness.
Play the Game of Contrasts
Since beige and brown are considered ‘superneutrals’, they can mingle with almost any color scheme. But you bring out their elegant best when you introduce them with a bit of color contrast. Whether a subtle variation in tones such as between tan and white or a more pronounced distinction as between yellow and brown, a contrast of color always offers something for the eye to rest on, probe further, and engage in.
If you want to maintain the serenity, pair with soft neutral hues like lighter shades of beige, white and pastels. So, if you have a clean white interior and want to keep it quiet and serene, think of light beige roman shades that will offer a refined elegance with a gentle tonal contrast. But, if you want to add more depth and interest, go for more striking contrasts, such as, for example, brown and yellow or beige and black.
Pair with the Living Energy of Greens
Nature is a bountiful source of inspiration for color schemes. So, taking cues from landscapes and gardens, where the beiges and browns of the earth's crust ground the live greens, pair your beige roman shades/ brown window blinds with shades of green and your favorite plants.
Plants of any kind - the bold pigmented, the thick dark tropical, the bushy topiaries, and the slender climbing vines - all stand highlighted and happy near a brown/ beige roman shade. Those who can’t boast a green thumb may create the same elegance with faux plants that are life-size naturalistic replicas of the real ones. Another way is to choose floral or botanical prints that mimic nature’s tried-and-true recipes of elegance with their organic themes and palettes.
Decorate on a Coastal Theme
Recreate the elegance of the sandy beach flanked by the cerulean skies and effervescent seas with beige roman shades. A sea-inspired palette is a great way of throwing back to the beachy ambiance. If you have white walls, for example, a beige roman shade with light blue accents would relay coastal aesthetics without having to lean on literal pointers like shell motifs or nautical paraphernalia. In addition, choose breezy fabrics like sheers, linens and cottons that with their airy appeal and rich textures will accentuate the natural beauty of the down-to-earth hues. Pepper the room with handblown glass accessories, opalescent crystals, sunburst mirrors and the like that further build on the theme of cyanic hues, ethereal beauty and the delicacy of translucence.
Team Up with Jewel Tones and Metallic Accents
It is strange how the difference in personality often becomes the ground for friendships to blossom and thrive, and that’s the magic we get to see in the celebrated pairing of earthy hues with jewel tones and metallic palettes. While beige and brown lend their calm and quietude, jewel tones lend their saturation and metallic tones, their alluring luster.
Tones like sapphire blue, ruby red, emerald green, amethyst purple and topaz yellow draw on the rich chromatic quality of their namesakes and lend themselves with greater vigor when countered with contrasts. The same is true of metallic colors like silver, gold, chrome, copper and brass that look luxurious in themselves but become even more strikingly attractive when set off by non-reflective neutral hues. So, if your decor is based on deeply saturated gemstone hues or reflective metallic hues, a pair of beige/ brown window blinds will prove an asset as they will enhance the visual appeal of these enigmatic colors by complementing them and toning down their energy.
Highlight a Centerpiece
When you have a thematic statement accessory such as a flying bird crystal chandelier flanking your living room’s stairwell or a vibrant mural that is to steal the show, a clean background and low-profile accessories are necessary to provide a complementary rather than a competitive presence. Instead of the bustling presence of patterns or the vying presence of saturated colors, a quiet background of a solid-colored beige/ brown wall further enhanced with roman shades of the same character is ideal. Trust a beige/ brown roman shade to lend the quiet backdrop and let your proud centerpieces shine.
Add Warmth to Your Home
A home designed with cool colors like light gray, white, and blue, may feel very calming and soothing, but an overdose can also make the space feel too flat, depressing or bland. The situation can be improved by swapping some of these elements for warmer colors such as red, yellow and orange. But, if such a fiery intervention does not sync with your taste, beige and brown are here to save the day. These colors are warm but also neutral so that they will do the job of balancing the palette without being overbearing on the design or upturning the palette abruptly. So, if you feel that any space in your home needs a dose of warmth, brown window blinds/ beige roman shades can answer the call.
Make it a Feast of Organic Earthy Elements
The modern sense of luxury does not necessarily comprise an ostentatious show of statement items bearing celebrity designers’ tags. Rather, the understated elegance of natural materials and sustainably processed accessories speak more to the modern definition of luxury today. It is realized by incorporating rustic elements like a live-edged walnut dining table, handwoven seagrass baskets and mouthblown glass pendant lights that add character through their natural imperfections. In addition, modern luxury pays homage to ‘human labor and craftsmanship’ by preferring carefully handcrafted items as statement pieces and avoiding mass-produced cookie-cutter accessories. A handcrafted, bespoke beige/ brown roman shade becomes significant to décor enthusiasts who are chasing such an aesthetic goal that carries sustainability at its very core.
Opt for linen, cotton, and silk roman shades that are purely sourced from nature, so that the roman shades point to nature not only with their earthy palette but also with their composition and textures. Besides, since our roman shades are handmade from scratch, you also get to flaunt their bespoke value, bringing the mandate of ‘modern luxury’ to a full circle. But don’t stop there. Enhance this recipe with ingredients such as burlap, stone, brick, metal, ceramic, wool, and blend them with the skills of formidable craftsmen to make your home truly a sweeping visual treat of organic charm and modern luxury.
In Closing
Beige and brown inspire calm and add an earthy quality to a space. They are a great choice when you want your roman shades to outlive all your changing tastes and fleeting décor trends. Years on, you will still find these colors being used as neutrals to ground the décor. They act as neutralizing agents when a palette is too vibrant, and warm up a space that’s gone too cool and bland. They blend with almost any color, from the cool serene white to the warm energetic red, and enhance décor styles as varied as the calm Japandi and Scandi to the busy maximalist and bohemian. So, if that’s what you were searching for – a hero who can doff many hats – beige roman shades & brown window blinds will see you there!
