Beige gives a living room a calm, settled base to build the rest of the room around, warm enough to avoid feeling flat, and versatile enough to suit both a classic scheme and a more contemporary one.
Large format beige tiles frame the space and stay low maintenance, letting furniture and soft furnishings carry more of the colour and pattern. Around a fireplace or hearth, smaller decorative tiles, mosaic, or brick-shaped pieces bring welcome texture to the room's natural focal point. Stone effect, wood effect, and large plain porcelain remain the most popular choices for a living room floor, and the same decorative beige tiles work just as well dressing a feature wall elsewhere in the room. Beige also has the advantage of hiding everyday scuffs and marks better than a much paler or darker floor.
