Nicole Kidman's Neutral Entryway Takes Textural Minimalism to the Next Level – It Reimagines Beige for 2027

Neutrals work best when they are layered. Bringing in texture, pattern, and a variety of materials help these tones to feel rich, inviting, and a little bit exciting.

Nicole Kidman nailed the balance in her beige entryway. Captured in an Instagram post, the actress's neutral hallway includes a tan Persian rug, wooden bench, and striped beige curtains. A pair of burlwood mirrors on either side of her window bring in a groundedness (these curved mirrors from Walmart are a great budget-friendly option). In the background, we can just make out a wooden and cream armchair on either side of the white front door.

As homeowners seek to make decorating with neutrals new again in 2027, we predict richly layered, textured spaces like Nicole's entryway will become a blueprint for fresh techniques. Let's start with a peek inside.

Experts have predicted using lots of texture as a major trend for 2027. As the fabrics on nicole's curtains, floor, and couch demonstrate, neutrals create the perfect canvas for this technique.

Luckily, it's easy to recreate. Ellie Brown, interior designer at Oak&More advises: 'It’s all about choosing the right fabrics and textures to create a cozy vibe without feeling overwhelmed. On your sofa, layer a couple of blankets in complementary colorways and different textures, such as velvet and cotton, then use cushions in different textures to bring the look together.'

Though we don't see any smaller soft furnishings in Nicole's entryway, these are the perfect addition to tie to the look all together. Ellie recommends: 'Opt for cushions in different shapes and sizes so things don’t look too uniform. For example, pair a bolster cushion with a square one to add dimension to the space, keeping things looking lived-in rather than overly styled.'

Recreate Nicole's Look at Home

A mixture of natural wood, patterned textiles, and slubby textures bring Nicole Kidman's beige entryway to life. Here are our editors' picks for replicating it.

'The secret to texturemaxxing is getting the balance between colour and texture right,' explains Ellie of the textural neutral interior design trend. She continues: 'Deep greens, terracotta and warm browns are perfect for creating a cozy, inviting feel, while cream and other warm neutrals help tie everything together.'

Tonal hues, like Nicole Kidman's beige curtains and tan rug, are a great place to start. Ellie states: 'The aim is to make your home feel layered and lived-in, not cluttered. Mixing too many colours, prints and textures can quickly overwhelm a room, turning a space from calming to chaotic very quickly.'

Nicole Kidman's entryway also demonstrates the power of integrating a touch of pattern into a neutral scheme. She uses a persian rug and striped curtains, but the same can be accomplished with cushions and throws.

Ellis tells Homes & Gardens: 'Print is a great way to introduce personality into your space while breaking up blocks of colour and texture. If you’re layering a velvet throw with linen cushions, for example, adding a print can help tie everything together while giving you the freedom to experiment. Whether you opt for soft florals or bolder animal prints, don’t be afraid to have fun with it. The key is to try different combinations until you find a look that feels right for your home.'

Neutrals will never go away, they are just evolving. In 2027, homeowners will add new interest and depth to these soothing colors. Take it from Nicole Kidman.
