No More Sad Beige: 3 Looks That Bring the Joy Back
Read more
We get it. Beige had a good run. But it’s time to break up with bland and say hello to homes with actual personality.
Whether you're feeling bold, moody, or softly sun-kissed, these three mood boards prove one thing: neutral doesn’t have to mean boring.
The ‘Green With Depth’ Look
Like a coastal storm, but make it sexy
This one’s for the people who think green is a neutral (you’re correct). With a backdrop of broody coastal skies and all the texture you could dream of, it’s the moodiest kind of magic. There’s a softly structured boucle chair, a ceramic vessel that looks hand-touched by the earth, and layering in every olive, moss and taupe shade under the sun.
Why we love it:
It’s still neutral, just... not sad. Think: wine by the window while the waves crash.

The ‘Bold, Bright, and You Know It’ Look
Cobalt, gold, and a little sculptural sass
This is the one for rule-breakers. That chair? Cobalt velvet. That table? Curvy in all the right places. And the yellow glass vessels? They’re the jewellery of the room. Add a geometric artwork and a brass lamp for the final touches.
Why we love it:
It’s a reminder that joy is a design choice. And colour doesn’t have to shout; it can just smirk confidently from the corner.

The ‘Sunset But Make It Loungey’ Look
Terracotta, blush and creamy leather are living their best life
A rust velvet chair. A creamy sofa. Cushions and throws that look like they’ve been dipped in cinnamon. This space is basically golden hour, bottled.
Why we love it:
It’s warm without being loud. Soft without being shy. And absolutely zero sad beige in sight.

So, what’s the moral of the story?
You can still have calm. You can still have “elevated.” But you don’t have to live in a room that feels like a dust-coloured spreadsheet.
Pick a piece that makes you smile. Layer in texture. Say yes to a bit of colour. Because honestly? Sad beige was never the vibe.
