Colors that match brown in decoration
Before we dive in, I'd like to clarify that what I'm about to discuss here is largely a matter of personal taste. Everyone has their own preferences, and that's perfectly fine! However, it's also true that some color combinations simply work better than others, transcending mere preference. These visual harmonies are like a treat for our eyes, captivating palettes that make us feel in tune with our surroundings. Some call them "eye candy," and we couldn't agree more, although they could also be a bit too much for some.

These mood boards not only serve as sources of inspiration but also bolster our opinions and suggestions.

Now that you've had the chance to examine the mood boards we created, what are your thoughts?
From my perspective, speaking as Bárbara, I can clearly state that we've identified four incredible combinations that can transform our spaces with furniture and decorative objects. These combinations are versatile and can be adapted to different areas of our home: bedrooms, offices, living rooms, restaurants, bathrooms... wherever you want to add a special touch.
These combinations stand out for their balanced compositions, variety of textures, objects, and tones. It's evident that there is a wide range of brown hues, and not all of them complement other colors in the same way. This is where the concept of "MATCH" comes into play.
In summary, beyond color theories, the key is to achieve harmony in the combination.
Brown + Earthy Tones
In this combination of earthy color tones, ranging from beige to various shades of brown, whether dark or light, and including more reddish, yellowish, or grayish tones, we feel peace, tranquility—it's a combination that brings us calm, as its name suggests. These are colors that allow us to reconnect with nature, with our origins, with the essence of life. Personally, I love it; it takes me to the Wabi-Sabi style, which has been very trendy lately. The meaning of Wabi-Sabi comes from the Japanese word "Wabi," which means tranquility and freshness, and "Sabi," which refers to the serenity and beauty that comes with age. This style is characterized by the following: humble, unpretentious, modest, and relaxed.
In this combination, a large object or piece of furniture often takes center stage, so be mindful of how you position it, as it will draw a lot of attention.
Brown + Black
To begin with, we must acknowledge that masculine style in interior decoration can vary greatly depending on personal preferences. Some associate it with straight lines and geometric shapes, while others prefer a more minimalist and soft approach. In my opinion, the combination of brown, white/beige, and black creates a masculine ambiance, particularly when there is a predominance of straight lines and angular shapes. However, this doesn't mean it can't have a touch of freshness and modernity.
One way to achieve this combination is by opting for objects and furniture with softer, more rounded shapes. This adds an interesting contrast to the more rectilinear elements and creates a more balanced and welcoming atmosphere.
With the right combination of shapes, textures, and colors, you can achieve a space that is both modern and inviting, perfect for anyone who appreciates design and comfort equally.
Brown + Green
This combination evokes the Mediterranean, transports me to nature, makes me feel at home, and invites me to relax. And if there's one color capable of infusing freshness and vitality into any space, it's undoubtedly green. From swampy tones that evoke a vintage style to dark military greens that transport us to lush forests, conveying modernity and freshness, and even the sensation of venturing into a jungle. Brown naturally connects with green, as both evoke nature in its fullest expression.
It's a color combination that delights our eyes with its naturalness and harmony.
Brown + Pop of Color
Undoubtedly, the studio favourite. Brown, being such a versatile and natural color, is effortless to pair with a splash of color.
The key lies in the specific shade of brown we're using to determine which colors complement it best. However, as we can see, brown pairs nicely with blue and red. Yellow also works wonders but should be used sparingly, as a subtle accent rather than a dominant color. A medium-sized object in this color is perfect for grabbing attention without overwhelming us with its brightness.
In summary, brown in interior design can be paired with various colors, and even within its own shades, we can create an incredible ambiance.
- Brown + Earth Tones
- Brown + Black
- Brown + Green
- Brown + Blue Accent
- Brown + Green Accent
- Brown + Yellow Accent
- Brown + Red Accent
Remember, all these colors must harmonize with the shade of brown being combined.
GOOD LUCK!
