The main thing with combinations is to keep balance and not go beyond. It means not to let brown take over all surfaces in the room (wallpaper, carpet, parquet, ceiling, furniture, doors). Incorrectly matched pairs will make brown not a velvety chocolate, but a dark color of dirt. To prevent this from happening, the gloomy-looking shades of brown can and should be complemented with more cheerful tones - purple, emerald, beige.
How not to be mistaken with the furniture?
The main pieces of furniture in the interior of the living room - a sofa and a table - do not necessarily have to be chocolate, too. So the design may seem boring. Enough will be such wallpaper, carpet or parquet.
Furniture can be freed from the brown shroud, so the interior will benefit. An unexpected, but very successful note in this design will be a canary sofa or chairs, complemented by the same curtains. Or orange rug. Or an exquisite white table for tea ceremonies.
If brown furniture in the living room is inevitable, then you can resort to tricks, making the interior color-balanced.
