Its name comes from French, and the Polish translation is... "mole". The uninitiated call it brown gray or gray brown. One of those shy colors that you have to see to know what they really are. Subtle and sophisticated, elegant but not creating distance. Taupe - a new trend in interior design. We suggest what to do to make it look good in your bedroom.
Taupe – what color is it?
Taupe is an intermediate shade between grey and dark brown with a slight hint of beige. Many also see delicate pink tones in it, which only confirms its non-obvious but stylish character. Importantly, taupe is not a term for one specific colour, but refers to the entire palette of colours with features of beige, muted pink, grey and finally – dark brown. It is very often chosen when arranging interiors in an industrial, glamour and modern style, especially as a base colour in the bedroom or living room. Taupe makes the room more cosy, and combined with light marble it gives the impression of spaciousness. If you care about a cosy atmosphere, but an unobtrusive presence of taupe in your home, it is worth choosing aesthetically coherent textiles, such as taupe pillows, cotton blankets or bedspreads.
What colours go with taupe?
Taupe is a neutral shade, so it can be a universal base for interior design, just as successfully as white or light beige. It goes particularly well with other neutral colors, pastels and shades inspired by nature. However, it is impossible to deny its chic in combination with stronger colors; thanks to its versatile character, it will be a great choice for both delicate spaces and bold interior designs. Taupe in the company of white or ecru is a rather characteristic combination, typical especially for the Japandi and Scandinavian styles. Such a composition makes the interior minimalist and very cozy.
Bedroom accessories, or everything in tip taupe
Bedroom accessories are more than half the battle when it comes to interior design. Properly selected, they can make a bedroom cozy, practical, and delightful. Here are a few of our suggestions for an elegant interior using the color taupe:
Intense espresso-style bedroom
Taupe will add subtlety to the deep tones of our dark brown bedspread , creating an aesthetic composition that brings to mind the crema in your favorite cup of espresso. Remember to choose only good quality cotton textiles that will significantly improve the comfort of sleep and will look beautiful in your bedroom. Choose soft bedding and stylish pillows in a shade of cool brown and equally cool beige.
Wonderful coffee with milk
Let's stay with coffee for a moment. After such a good start to the morning in the company of a strong espresso, we decided to go further into the day by adding a little milk. Taupe bedspread, the color reminding us of freshly ground coffee with milk, will work beautifully with good quality white bedding . We made this pleasant to the touch bedding from soft cotton knit "like your favorite T-shirt", thanks to which your skin will breathe peacefully all night long.
Taupe – is it worth having in your bedroom?
See for yourself – taupe is a color that can be used in many ways when decorating a bedroom. Graphite pillows combined with taupe pillows will create an aesthetic composition that we could look at over and over again! Beige pillows will look beautiful against the background of a taupe throw, and good quality light bedding will take care of your sleeping comfort. Golden frames, large black and white photographs, flowers, macramé made of light strings, elegant bas-reliefs, fashion magazines and other boho-style accessories will beautifully complement the stylish space. So is it worth inviting the color taupe to your bedroom? We leave the answer to you.
