Do you think that brown is boring? Think again! We’ve curated a list of colours that pair with brown to create the most stunning combinations ever. Whether you opt for silky caramel, dark chocolate, coffee tints or rich auburn, here are eleven lovely ways to decorate with brown.
Burnt orange and rich brown are the colours of autumn, and you can create comforting moods all the year around with these fall-inspired colours! Here, the exuberance of orange in the walls is toned down by pairing it with the earthiness of brown in the sofa and floors. Orange and cream cushions add a cozy vibe.
Cream and brown are like vanilla on chocolate—a pairing that you can never go wrong with! Crisp off-white doors and drapes balance the richness of cinnamon brown walls, in this lovely contemporary foyer space. A warm cream rug and accents help to offset the lighter brown of the hardwood floors.
White is a comforting backdrop that works with just about any colour, and in this warm country kitchen, it plays off the rich grains of brown teak wood to perfection. Vibrant Moroccan tiling in the backsplash ties the colour palette together and adds the dynamic of vibrant, repetitive pattern.
All shades of brown, running the gamut from deep coffee on the walls to velveteen caramel on the couch and bamboo parquet on the floor make for a truly interesting combination, working together beautifully to create a lovely vignette in this living room. Depth and visual interest are carefully created using contrasting textures.
Sage green and khaki brown mimic the colours of the forest, pairing delightfully well in this bedroom that’s as restful and soothing as can be. The metallic accents in the room—the pivot mirror next to the bed and the delicate gold threads in the pillows, for instance—add a luxe touch.
Tangerine walls pack a punch, infusing this art-lover’s studio with the warmth of a thousand suns. Laid-back tan upholstery and brown striped curtains temper the heat and keep the colour palette from catching afire! Note how the colour-matched rug captures all the shades in the room on a cohesive canvas.
Warm, sandy beige on the walls proves to be the perfect backdrop for teak wood in the furniture and open display shelves in this seating area. The ivory couch and shaggy rug are comfortably placed within the same colour family, and perfectly complement the contemporary décor theme.
Blue and brown are on opposite ends of the colour wheel, making an uncommon pairing that, here, works surprisingly well! The icy cool tones of steel grey counter the warm hues of brown Wenge wood in this sleek kitchen. An electric blue accent wall adds stylish flair and effortlessly ups the style quotient.
Flesh brown, with its pinkish undertones, lightens and brightens the dark brown of this spacious bathroom. A bamboo divider, floor mats and slatted screens amp up the sustainability factor in this earthy palette. The crisp white freestanding tub is perfectly placed to receive all the attention.

As we keep saying, white is the perfect neutral, as it goes well with every other colour and even looks great all by itself! In this carefully put together open-plan space, shades of cream, white and ivory come together to make a stunning statement.
Dip into the reddish undertones of beige and brown, add a dash of crisp white and highlight with intense red and orange to make this picture-perfect bedroom. The area rug, draperies and walls are in perfect harmony.
Another variant of the forest colour combination, olive green goes well with all shades of brown. The warm brown tones of rattan furniture and parquet floors is a perfect foil against the sultry shade of olive on the accent wall and velvet drapes.
When shy lavender meets bold brown, the result is a pairing that intrigues and inspires. This living room exudes an air of quiet sophistication, with lighter, less saturated versions of the two colours captured in the abstract artwork on the walls. Graphic patterns in the rug match the cushions on the couch.
Up the energy and create a space that sizzles with drama, with fuchsia pink walls against a modest, sober brown couch—a practical, no-nonsense choice! Pink handloom cushions add striped patterns and textures.
