Why Do Light Beige Bedrooms Feel Brighter Than White?

You might assume white walls create the brightest bedroom, but light beige actually reflects warmth that white simply cannot. When creamy beige walls meet soft linen bedding and natural jute textures, the room glows rather than feeling stark or clinical. This warm undertone bounces light around the space while adding depth that pure white lacks.
