Skin-Coloured Elegance: the Nude Look

The source of the “nude look” is actually the world of fashion and styling. It refers to a colour style based on skin hues. A tone-in-tone combination of sand, beige and rosé nuances yields a harmonious overall picture. Taking this approach to decorate rooms generates an ambience marked by straightforward elegance and naturalness.
Powdery pastel hues evoke a warm, cosy atmosphere. Light-coloured or unfinished wooden furniture, cream walls, translucent white drapes and discreet patterns create an inviting feel-good ambiance. A wall can be painted light turquoise or lilac accents added to vary the nude look somewhat, but details in strong colours should be avoided. This results in harmonious interplay, often with a certain feminine touch. The use of grey and blue hues makes a room seem more masculine.
The floor should also harmonise with the rest. This means that light decors are the best choice. Wood looks are excellently suited, as the grain provides an ideal counterpoint to the dance of various beige tones. The décor Rip Oak nature of the ROBUSTO collection, for example, boasts a discreet yet impressive grain. The decors Everest Oak White of the MAMMUT collection and Split Oak of the MEGA collection also blend well with the nude style.
If you like a bit more playfulness, the nude look can be very effectively combined with the romantic country home style. It’s also possible to mix in vintage or shabby chic elements. A suitable laminate floor for this is, for example, Vintage Oak Nature of the DYNAMIC collection.
You can decorate however you see fit. The thing to keep in mind about the nude look is that it’s essential to stay within the same colour range. Wood and rattan objects such as baskets underscore the natural look. To keep the effect exciting, you can combine matt and glossy surfaces; this gives rooms an extra dash of elegance. Natural colours can also soften a utilitarian modern home decorating style and render it more comfortable.
