Why Luxury Homes Continue to Favor Beige and White

Many luxury homes are being decorated in beige, white, cream and ivory.

These gentle colours can make a room feel calm and elegant.

Designer Deena Gandhi says they also make it easier to change decorations without redoing the whole room.

Italian marble in beige or white is one flooring choice she recommends.

But interior consultant Payal Kapoor says pale rooms can be hard to keep clean in dusty places.

She also warns that a room can look dull if everything matches.

Designers can add different shades, textures, artwork or colours like sage and terracotta.

That way, a neutral room can still feel interesting and personal.
