Chumasande MatiwaneBrown is a colour trend that has taken off these past couple of years. Warm brown hues have a way of complementing any home design style. Here are inspirations on decorating with brown to give your home a modern yet retro feel.
Pair the brown with natural materials
Keep your brown colour interesting by mixing multiple different materials, textures, and room elements. Brown does not have to be on the wall to dominate a room. The use of furniture, art, antiques, and ceilings can all make a room interesting while using brown.
Layers of brown-toned furniture can complement each other well enough to make brown the dominating colour in any room. The use of natural fibres and earthy hues can create a sense of balance and luxury.

Small touches of brown in the kitchen
You can benefit from the colour brown without overwhelming the space. Consider the strategic placement of brown items in your kitchen to give it hues of brown. Small additions can instantly increase the energy you are going for. Consider brown kitchen chairs, countertops, and trays when incorporating brown in kitchens.
Brown living rooms
When using the colour brown in your living room be sure to incorporate it through a variety of furniture and textures that create a subtle luxurious feel to the room. Layer your deep brown paint colour with brown floor rugs and leathered brown couches with curtains that complement the paint colour.

Use brown in entryways
Using brown in the entryway can create a warm and inviting welcome for your guests as soon as they enter your home. Since brown is a versatile colour, it can be used to enhance the ambience of your entryway. A light-brown rug or dark wood furniture can create a cosy and welcoming feel.
Bedroom wallpapers
A little brown in your bedroom can’t hurt. Use a brown print wallpaper that will serve as an elegant backdrop to your bedroom. Play with the different tones of brown to create a playful but sophisticated wallpaper that echoes your bedroom’s calm energy.
A brown room theme may not have been the most sought-after colour tone, but with these few inspirations, you may think otherwise.
