Need proof this earth-friendly hue can be equally as pretty as reliable? Brown, a color often associated with safety and security, can make for the most beautiful living room spaces if you embrace it.
But if your mind automatically drifts to brown painted walls, let's change gears. You can effortlessly layer in this sturdy color in an infinite number of unexpected ways.
From sleek credenzas to hardwood ceilings and entirely brown painted rooms, here are 8 stylish brown living room ideas you hadn’t thought to try.
01 Use Brown Accent Chairs
You can never go wrong with adding accent chairs to your living room. These single seats bring comfort while lining up your other living room elements, like your rug, sofa, and end tables. Plus, accent chairs create a seating arrangement that builds a conversation area to relax with friends and family.
02 Fill Your Living Space With Brown Décor
For a lively rhythm, dot your room with subtle touches of brown, a trick guaranteed to make any living space feel pristine. Whether you bring this hue in through artwork, lamp shades, or oil-rubbed bronze metaled accents is up to you!
03 Wallpaper in Brown
Since there are so many tints and shades of brown, it’s easy to find a hue that works with your living room style. Here, this wallpaper motif flaunts a juxtaposition of two different browns, forming an elegant backdrop for pink accents to take the lead.
04 Add Cushy Brown Sofas
A brown upholstered sofa can easily create an earthy modern space that's also pet- and kid-friendly. And performance fabric or not, brown won’t show stains as easily as other colors. It's a reliable choice that will look good for years to come. Bonus points: brown sofas (especially leather ones) pair well with other patterns and colors.
05 Go Monochromatic With Brown
Decorating with brown in a living space can also mean going ultimately monochromatic. Bring different tints, tones, and shades of brown through your wallpaper, window curtains, built-ins, rugs, and furniture for a zen effect.
06 Buy Brown Tables
A wooden coffee table is a long-lasting staple and a functional piece that will forever hold its design appeal. Wooden coffee tables can also come in several shapes, sizes, and colors—ideal for any style goals—whether you’re going for a casual, unstuffy look or a traditional feel.
07 Install Brown Curtains
Curtains are a practical design addition that can also enhance the beauty of your home. Blackout curtains are specially designed to block out more light from entering your room (whether it's streetlights, car headlights, or sunlight). Here, these checkered light brown curtains add an earthy, soft touch to this living space.
08 Add Warmth Through Brown Art
Bringing in bold brown art is a beautiful way to recast a plain space. Larger pieces of art can also look more sophisticated and chic than grouping together smaller pieces if you have an extensive wall to fill.
