Today it is actively used to decorate living rooms, glazed loggias and balconies. Its relevance depends on the background, texture, pattern, as well as location.
Beige can be conveyed by background or pattern. So that the material is not considered controversial, the contrast should be soft with a beige dominance. So it is possible to bring the atmosphere of a home into different rooms.
It is unacceptable to use a large number of black and red tones of the print: this color is much more pleasantly combined with shades of pastel and related tones.
The former include gray-pink, gray, milky, muted blue, turquoise, peach and metallic.
The most harmonious combination with related tones is a combination of beige with coffee, rich brown, chocolate, taupe, light shade of wenge oak. An interesting duet with swamp color.
In the living room is appropriate glossy ceramic tiles. It is also suitable for the corridor: these places are usually not overloaded with furniture. It should be borne in mind: the abundance of tiles on the walls and the floor at the same time can cause discomfort. It is appropriate in the bathroom, bathroom, in the kitchen. but in the living room, the combination of two types of tiles should be moderate, otherwise internal discomfort will be created.
It looks great in an open-plan apartment (for example, on the floor and in the kitchen apron area). In a separate living room, it can be either one floor or only a part of it (for example, if you combine tile with laminate for certain areas of the room). For the corridor, tile can be laid at the threshold, covering the rest of the space with laminate or linoleum. So it will be practical, while looking new and stylish.

Design
Today, surface tiling resembles art. It is done deliberately, good, the range of products opens up unlimited possibilities for decorating walls and floors.
To date, the actual use of companions. Buy two types of material that is designed for one facing series. At the same time, the possibilities are such that it is possible to emphasize vertical and horizontal planes with identical pattern and color.

Types for a living room are more prone to stylization: complemented by a border in a similar pattern, they look stylish, holistic and beautiful. However, it is important to note that there should not be many prints. Thus, instead of harmony, one can give space and boredom to space.
Combination with furniture
Beige tile looks great next to upholstered and kitchen furniture. Especially it concerns products in light shades. Despite the fact that the beige and light itself, white color makes it lighter and more airy.
A good option is the one with light gray furniture: today such a duet is especially popular with the support of white and contrasting color spots. For example, the furniture can be light gray, the floor is beige, the ceiling is white, the connecting color is silver, brown, dark gray.
If the style is designed flooring in combination with dark furniture, beige color tiles gently emphasize the shade of furniture, even if it is purple or wine. In this case, the furniture will dominate, so the dark strokes in the tile finish should not be much.
It is more harmonious to supplement the interior with a soft long-pile carpet, a coffee table or a table with a glass surface. You can add to the situation a couple of chairs, poufs. They will soften the visually cool floor effect.
If a glossy tile is chosen as the basis, you should not furnish the interior with a brilliant type of furniture surfaces. Showcase cabinets here will not look organically. Oddly enough, it would be more appropriate to use the same masonry of a fireplace or a fake fireplace, or an imitation of a brick using matte wallpaper. So you can create an atmosphere of comfort and overall harmony.
If the texture of the tile is replete with gloss, it can quickly get bored, so It is worth balancing the presence of gloss by selecting matte capes on upholstered furniture..
