Even if you are happy with your color palette you might want to think about adding a little more white or another light neutral to your room.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE COLOR BEIGE
Warm tone neutrals are continuing to be big this year as grays are saying their last goodbyes.
You may think this is good news or bad news depending on how much you love those grays. For me, I am thrilled! I love cozy, pretty warmed up neutrals. Beige in all it’s shades and tints is a great color to use as part of your home color palette!
Beige has gotten a bad rap as being boring. Beige is definitely NOT boring! It is soft and cozy and whispers warmth!

FAQs ABOUT DECORATING
Hugs and Blessings,
Yvonne
Hello Yvonne,
This year we are contemplating a new sofa for the living room. We have had an off white sofa the last two go-rounds but this time I am considering going with a blue/teal sofa and painting the deep teal walls an offwhite. The room is completely open to the kitchen/dining area where my cabinets are Ben Moore’s Simply White, which we love. All my woodwork is slightly darker, cotton sheets by Behr and my windows were ordered to match so changing this is really not an option. Now that I have gotten my husband to agree to white walls, I am afraid I will not like it.
Since the room is on the small side, can you share what type sofas you have in your home in Tanglewood? I am uncertain if I should start with the room color or the sofa. I will appreciate any advice you can share.
I have a sofa from Ethan Allen and I LOVE it! Here’s the big plus about this company, they will send out an Interior Decorator to help you… for free!
I always love everything you do in your home. It does not matter if it small or large, you always, ‘ knock it out the park’. I to plan to buy a sofa, but having a son, now twenty yoa, it must be dark. I will be using more of your design ideas. Thanks, and I hope you and your family had a merry Christmas
Thanks, Ivory! We had a lovely Christmas! And it is still going on! I expect more family here in about an hour and am so excited! Happy New Year!
Yvonne, I hope you and Bobby had a wonderful Christmas with your family and made many new memories! Your little “grands” are so precious!
I enjoy your posts so much. You are so thoughtful in sharing all your wonderful ideas with us. I appreciate you so much. God has given you a wonderful gift which you so freely share with us. You are such a wonderful gift, Yvonne! Your home is so beautiful and I just love to see all your personal touches with the changing seasons.
I thank you for your wonderful Sunday devotionals which always touch our hearts. Plus, I thank you for all your delicious recipes that you share! I have made an “Yvonne Recipe Book” and use it all the time!
Yvonne, I just don’t know how you do all these things for us!
God has truly blessed you and what a wonderful blessing you are to us! I thank God for you and continue to pray that God will give you joy in your heart as you so faithfully reach out to all of us.
I pray that the coming year will be a wonderful one for you and Bobby. May you be blessed with lots of happiness and good health! Bless you! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Mary Ann! How thoughtful of you! Thank you!!! Happy New Year to you and your family!
I don’t understand why everything on every decorating blog i read is SO white!
Hi Katherine, white is a gorgeous and classic color. Many bloggers are partial to white. I am seeing a move to darker moodier colors. Each to he own.
I’d love to know where your diamond pattern rug is from?
