Beige Wallpaper

How to use beige wallpaper

Beige is the background colour, and in wallpaper the interesting beiges are the textured ones: grasscloth, linen weaves, plaster finishes and small tone-on-tone patterns that give a wall depth without asking for attention. Warm beige suits cream trim and timber; the cooler greiges suit white trim and grey floors. Beige also hides marks better than white, which is why it is the sensible choice for hallways and family rooms. Pattern on beige should be quiet; save the big motifs for a coloured ground.

Where to start

Of the designs on this page, the most ordered over the last twelve months, in any colourway, were Sandberg's stripes Rand and Magnus, Romo's Esai Seagrass, Sandberg's Moa and Sandra, and Långelid/von Brömssen's Hiding Hares; the most sampled were the parchment-toned Harry Potter™ Marauder's Map and Argile. Beige by style: textured and grasscloth, linen, limewash and plaster and calm and gentle. Neighbouring colours: cream and brown.

Can I get a sample first?

Yes. A4 samples are A$10 each plus A$5 postage within Australia, A$18 to New Zealand and A$35 elsewhere, sent by letter mail and usually with you within a week. Colour is the one thing a screen cannot settle, so we recommend it.
