Embracing the beauty of beige, the actress and basketball pro present their compelling argument for incorporating this versatile color into interior design. Their approach promises a home that exudes a minimalist and modern vibe, earning the admiration of experts in the world of colors.
Stephen and Ayesha Curry, the power couple from California, have become an inspiration for many with their presence in both the basketball court and Hollywood. Besides their fame, they have also taken the opportunity to challenge societal norms and redefine beauty standards. In a recent move, they have showcased the beauty of an often underestimated color – beige.
Beige has traditionally been considered a safe and unremarkable color, often overlooked for its brighter counterparts. However, perceptions and usage of beige in decor are evolving. Designers and celebrities are starting to recognize the versatility and potential of this understated tone, with some predicting that it will replace the popular gray color by 2023. Leading the trend, Stephen and Ayesha Curry have embraced beige and transformed it from a traditional, homely choice to a glamorous and stylish option.
Ayesha, known for her shows About Last Night and Ayesha’s Home Kitchen, recently shared a glimpse of her beautifully designed beige-themed space. The room features a stunning painted ceiling that perfectly accentuates the chosen color. To complement the beige, Ayesha cleverly incorporated a large gray sofa and rug, enhancing the overall aesthetic. Color expert Helen Shaw, who is also the marketing director of Benjamin Moore, praised the impeccable color pairing.
Helen suggests following Ayesha and Stephen’s example of combining neutral color families, such as gray and beige. However, to make the color stand out even more, Helen recommends incorporating reds and oranges into the mix. According to her, neutrals are great for toning down busy and bold designs, as well as enhancing minimal and contemporary looks. When pairing neutrals, she advises grouping similar color families together, such as combining beige tones with reds and oranges.
These colors are crucial for any interior renovation and range from cool grays to warm beiges and plaster pinks. In recent seasons, there has been a shift towards warmer shades as they provide a sense of comfort and upliftment. While any beige can work well, we particularly love the soothing tone from Backdrop, as shown below.
