In recent decades, interior design has embraced the most daring color combinations, yet a palette composed of browns remains stylish. This is largely due to the refined and natural wooden finishes, but there are many other ways to incorporate brown tones into an interior. We will tell you about them below.

1. Choose a Light Base

Even if you are creating an eclectic interior, brown color has strict requirements for the base, so it makes sense to choose white plaster, light matte paint, or subdued wallpapers. Following a reasonable caution, do not be afraid that the interior will look dull: you can diversify it with expressive decorative details and interesting textiles, which will provide plenty of visual interest.

 

2. Place Color Accents

Brown color does not contradict any other, provided you select the right shade. A muted deep brown will look great even with black furniture, while coffee brown complements pastel tones. In minimalist interiors with brown parquet flooring, vibrant sofas and geometric patterned rugs will harmonize beautifully.

 

3. Play with Wood Tones

Designers love wooden finishes for the touch of sophistication they bring to interiors and the eco-consciousness that has become one of the main requirements for decoration in recent times. The richness of textures and tones of wood is hard to describe fully: here are expensive lasure-coated hardwoods, light decorative cross-sections, and economical pine options that can look quite decent with proper treatment. Do not hesitate to combine several wood types in an interior—after all, contrast can be expressive too.

 

4. Experiment with Textures

Brown color schemes in interior design are distinguished by calmness and comfort, although poorly executed interiors may look pale and lifeless. To add dynamism to the setting, try experimenting—playing with forms and textures. Soft textiles and muted tones complement metal decor, wall paintings, textured lighting fixtures, and fur rugs beautifully. It is also helpful to work with a combination of glossy and matte surfaces in the interior.

 

5. Use Brown in Decor

Brown in decor can be cozy and dynamic: here the boundaries of practicality expand significantly compared to base color schemes. For brown accessories to look appropriate in an interior, duplicate the shades and arrange decor asymmetrically—this way, the room will gain a finished look.
