Taupe Beds: The Colour Palettes That Work Best
Taupe beds look their best in palettes built on plaster pink, olive and khaki green, charcoal, inky blue and oxblood, or in a tonal scheme of warm whites, stone and linen. Because taupe sits between grey and brown, it bridges warm and cool colours with ease. The key is to identify whether your taupe leans pink, grey or brown, then choose accents that echo that undertone. In this guide we explain what taupe actually is and how to tell the three main types apart with a simple comparison test. We then set out seven palettes, each with clear suggestions for walls, accents and materials, from soft and enveloping to tailored and dramatic. We also look at how daylight and bulbs change the way taupe reads through the day, and the common mistakes that cause a taupe bed to blend into its surroundings rather than stand out. We also cover small rooms and seasonal changes....
