All the cold neutrals are out, and this year we are embracing warm earthy tones and warm neutrals on the whole that create a welcoming atmosphere in any space at once. Brown is one of the main earthy tones, and it can easily create a soothing ambience, whatever shade of it you take. How to pull off brown with style and what colors to add? Here are some ideas.
What Colors Work With Brown?
The most popular shades of brown are chocolate brown, taupe, beige and tan, though you may try any tones that you like. It can be darker or lighter, warmer or colder, and depending on that you will get various nice color combos with different colors. Chocolate brown works nice with creamy and red, different shades of brown can work with beige and grey, pink and blue, white and various earthy and pastel tones, brown and green are also a nice combo. I totally love a palette of warm neutrals like brown, taupe, rust or orange, amber and beige and tan. If you are creating a moody space, you may pair dark brown, black, graphite grey or dark green, aubergine or navy.

What Styles And Rooms Welcome Brown?
Brown is a perfect neutral color that works everywhere, from a bathroom to a living room and from modern to minimalist style. Choose various shades of brown that inspire you and apply them wherever you need. Light ones will be great for creating a soothing and airy space, dark and rich tones of brown will be non-traditional and chic for creating a moody space.

How To Incorporate Brown In Home Decor?
Brown walls are a popular idea, though if you aren’t sure, go for just one accent wall then. Brown can be rocked using furniture – refined loveseats, chairs, coffee tables, consoles and desks, and if you don’t have such a piece but want it, just take some paint and go for it. Brown is great to apply with accessories and textiles: curtains, pillows, rugs, artworks and other stuff. Support browns with other shades of brown, with taupe, greige and grey and voila, a welcoming space is ready!
