Beige and White: Coastal Style
Lets take a look at some pics from beachy- and nautical style homes in beige, white and mahogany:

I think this room is really harmonic. The floor and most furniture is kept light (white), while the walls are beige. This simple color palette divides the room beautifully into two color zones, which are then pulled together again by accents of the opposite color, like a wooden (beige) chair in the ‘white zone’.
