Color advice Check Check nude: soft walls with a warm check pattern

Color Story/Check Check - nude

A plaid pattern can be playful and at the same time feel very cozy. Ruitje Ruitje nude strikes that fine balance with its warm beige and nude tones. The painted walls determine whether the room becomes light and airy or, conversely, a bit richer in color. With a soft base and a warm depth, you create a plan that easily grows with your child.

Your color palette

Soft together, beautifully balanced

These 3 paint shades form a beautiful palette with Ruitje Ruitje - nude. Choose one base and optionally an accent.

First, order a paint sample or color swatch of your favorite shade. View this at home next to a wallpaper sample, in daylight and with the lights on. This way, you can see which combination works best in your room.

The basis of the little room

Let the wallpaper be the beginning

The recognizable diamond pattern adds structure to a wall without requiring a fixed theme. This allows you to combine it with both a simple children's bed and a more distinctive vintage wardrobe. Give the diamond pattern room to flow and choose a solid color for the adjacent walls. Small accessories can be changed later, while the base remains calm. With wallpaper wainscoting, a nice division is created between the graphic pattern and a larger area of ​​painted wall. See also Check Check - nude wallpaper for the available versions.

From color swatch to wall

Which wall paint matches Ruitje Ruitje - nude?

LAB Shade of Linen
no. 561

Shade of Linen No. 561 is the lighter direction of this palette. The warm, soft impression complements the calm areas of the wallpaper beautifully. Use this shade when you want the diamond pattern to stand out clearly and prefer to keep the other walls light.

LAB Saint-Tropez
no. 460

Saint-Tropez No. 460 adds more warmth and color to the room. This sandy shade pairs beautifully with wood and soft fabrics. It works well on an adjoining wall, with light window coverings so that there remains sufficient contrast between the large surfaces.

LAB Velvet Fudge
no. 380

Velvet Fudge No. 380 makes the color scheme a bit fuller. This gives a warm accent to a cabinet or smaller painted area. Allow the lightest shade of the palette to reappear sufficiently so that the whole does not become a single collection of similar midtones.

Two nice directions

This is what your room can feel like

01Light and clear

Choose Shade of Linen for the painted walls and let the diamond pattern run behind the bed. A natural wood bed and a cream bedspread create a sense of calm. A single warmer detail referencing Saint-Tropez connects the wallpaper with the rest of the room.

02A warm room with depth

Choose Saint-Tropez as the painted main color and use Velvet Fudge on a small piece of furniture. Combine with calm, light fabrics and leave part of the floor visible. The check pattern adds playfulness; extra small prints are not necessary to complete the room.

The finishing touch

Furniture, fabrics & small details

Round or softly shaped accessories work well against the straight diamond lines. Think of a round pouf or a basket with a calm shape. Choose textiles that are interesting because of their weave, not because of a busy pattern. If you also want to use striped bedding, choose a distinctly different scale and a limited color palette. This way, the wallpaper and fabric remain distinguishable from each other.

Our tip for home

Look first, then choose

Test the paint next to both the lighter and darker squares of the wallpaper sample. A color that almost disappears in one area can create a beautiful contrast in the other. Also place a sample of the floor or a small wooden plank next to it. View the plan from the doorway and from the bed, so that you assess not only individual colors but also the distribution throughout the room.

A small start for your dream room

A warm check pattern and a single fine wall paint already provide a calm base. View the wallpaper sample at home and discover which natural direction complements your furniture best.
