How to Create a Brown Colour Scheme
When you’re choosing a colour scheme, the world’s your oyster. It’s both liberating and exciting but can also be a little overwhelming. The key is to ask yourself one question: how do I want this room to feel? Dark browns are excellent at creating cosy, comforting spaces, like bedrooms, snugs and dining rooms. Light browns bring an understated sophistication that still feels relaxed and inviting, perfect for living rooms and hallways.
With such beautiful browns to choose from, you might what a helping hand to narrow them down. That’s why we asked our in-house experts Joa Studholme and Patrick O’Donnell for three of their favourite brown colour scheme suggestions.
