In the field of decoration, the color taupe has always been a favorite color for both decorators and individuals. And this is justified since the taupe color is one of those that we call "timeless color".
Its particularity comes from the fact that it is both chic, soft, and has a discreet tone. This color can easily be used in every room of the house, provided of course that you know how to coordinate it correctly.
Indeed, even if the taupe color is a neutral color, it still has its small requirements to bring out a nice decor. Before seeing in detail how and where to use the taupe color, let's first try to understand the very essence of this color.
The true taupe color comes from a mixture of gray and brown colors. This is why we tend to call the color "taupe gray" . Thus, before any use of this color, it is necessary to refer to a paint color chart and to ensure that the color chosen is indeed "taupe". As the taupe color is classified in the neutral color range, it goes very well with any type of furniture. It is also easy to combine this color with sparkling and luminous tones to brighten up a room. Thus, the taupe can be associated with red, blue, orange, yellow and green.
To have light in a room, we tend to think that white is the only color that gives clarity. And yet, the light taupe color is just as much a luminous color par excellence. With its softness and purity, taupe allows light to flood a room.
The magic formula for having a living room, where conviviality and relaxation will be at the rendezvous, consists in painting the walls in a taupe color and opting for a slightly dark wooden floor. In order to properly capture the light, the furniture will be white to illuminate the room and highlight the taupe color of the wall. This is a real elegant decoration, while remaining comfortable:a real luxury at home!
To stay neutral and simple, combining taupe with gray in your living room is a winning combo. There is no risk of falling into the wrong when opting for these two colors. Just keep the walls in taupe and decorate with furniture like a charcoal gray sofa to give more relief to the room. The other furniture, such as the coffee table, will however be in light wood and placed on a white carpet to bring even more softness to your living room.
Just like in the bedroom, the living room can also be in taupe and chocolate colors for more indulgence. By adding a few modern elements and materials to your living room, you easily get a contemporary, original and cozy living room.
When we say that all the rooms in the house can be dressed in taupe, it means that it is indeed the case. The taupe color is not made just for the bedroom and the living room, the kitchen can also be adorned with this pretty color. To obtain a modern and designer kitchen, for example, you can always start with taupe as the base color for the walls.
The credenza and the tiling can also be in shades of taupe. This will immediately give your kitchen a bright and warm atmosphere. To create an aesthetic contrast in this room, you just have to opt for kitchen furniture in anthracite gray. The difference and the little extra that will make this kitchen an original and modern room is to add a few touches of yellow color. Indeed this color will spice up the tone of the taupe. A section of wall in yellow, a few small accessories, decorations and you're done to have an original kitchen.
What you need to remember is that the taupe color appreciates refined and romantic colors, which is ideal for a bedroom, especially if it is a master bedroom. For example, you can mix taupe color very well with chocolate color and parma. Just paint the walls in taupe and use linens in chocolate and parma colors. This is a very feminine and soft decoration that brings out all the nobility of the taupe color.
For a natural and rather cocooning atmosphere, the taupe color will be married with the color linen, string or hemp. We prefer to decorate the room with furniture made of natural materials such as wood to give a little more warmth and character.
If the zen and refined style attracts you more, the association of the color taupe with white is ideal. The combination of these two colors is a real invitation to rest and relaxation. The linens will also be in shades of white and shades of taupe and gray to create a most soothing gradient.
You can even imagine a taupe-colored baby or child's room and it's far from being sad as a decor for the little ones. Indeed, it is enough to marry the taupe color with acid colors and white to have a pretty sympathetic color palette. Add to these colors childcare accessories and linen-colored bed linen and the baby's room will be bathed in softness and tenderness.
Soft, timeless and refined color, taupe remains an undeniable choice when you want to have a simple and effective decoration. Whatever the room in your home:the bedroom, the living room, the kitchen, taupe can dress every part of your interior in all sobriety and class.
