Brown is such a versatile colour that it's a go-to colour for many home owners as well as interior designers. This neutral shade can be used in many different ways, whether you're aiming for a feeling of warmth, elegance, or wholesomeness in your living space. Read on to find out how you can maximise the use of this traditional hue.

1. Harmony Of Colours

 

Two different shades of brown within a dining area can actually complement each other; giving off a warmer feel in contrast to the white of the kitchen space without being too overwhelming.

2. Mix And Match

 

Add brown-coloured furniture for a more mellowed out setting. Alongside other bolder colours like yellow and blue, the neutral brown serves as a balance to the overall colour scheme of the living room.

Other elements within the living room such as cushions or curtains can also adopt brown tones to add to the colour scheme in small ways throughout the area.

6. Outdoor Tranquility

 
Nature can be one of the biggest sources of inspiration – that's why a dark brown shade for the walkways in outdoor areas is a popular choice as it easily matches greys, greens or blues.

7. Loft Vibes

 
The versatility of brown as a colour is reflected here; it works as floor tiles, steps on stairs, or even part of the hue of the brick-like tiles on the wall. Coupled with neutral colours, it's a total winner.

8. Subtle Furnishing

 
Even smaller pieces of furniture can change the look of a room. Matched with light colours, the wooden bedside tables and flooring add to a simplicity of design that is not too in-your-face.

Make a statement in the living room with large storage furnishing in a deep brown shade. It sets the tone for the rest of the house and gives off an instant comfortable vibe.

10. Balanced Hues

 
The light brown dining set offers a subdued atmosphere, but the overhead lights and darker hue on the side wall equalizes the room's colour scheme.

13. Design Recognition

The design of this room is very reminiscent of eateries you can find in several Asian countries, a mix of spaced out wooden architecture which gives it a light and airy feel.
