Brown has many shades, from light wood tones to dark chocolate, and can be found in every home - on the floor, in furniture and decor elements. We are so used to it that, along with gray and white, we consider this color to be neutral. This is true when brown appears in the details. However, it is difficult to call a neutral room in which dark shades of brown come to the fore - depth appears in the interior, a feeling of warmth and comfort comes. Kandinsky said that with the correct use of brown paint, an indescribable inner beauty is born, and the main thing is not to darken it, so as not to let the red fade away.
Today we will talk about the use of dark brown in the interior, its combinations with other colors, the use of these combinations in various rooms of the apartment and, according to tradition, the topic will be accompanied by photographs.
Dark brown with white in the interior
Combinations with dark brown are suitable for interior design of any room in the apartment: living room, bedroom, hallway, kitchen, bathroom. In terms of its psychological impact on a person, brown, like green, is a soothing color. It is sought after by people who are looking for peace and relaxation, as it protects against anxiety and stress. It has been noticed that people prone to worries subconsciously choose brown clothes - they feel more comfortable in it. In addition, brown is a symbol of stability and conservatism, so classic interiors are especially successful in this range.
But do not forget that the chocolate shade of brown is too dark to be used alone. The interior of a small room, in the design of which only this tone is used, will turn out to be gloomy and cramped, like a rabbit hole. In order to prevent this from happening, it is most reasonable to dilute it with other colors, and white will be the most suitable for these purposes. 
On the pages of the site, we have repeatedly talked about useful properties: it fills the room with light, adds freshness, and if you take it in about a larger share, visually expands the boundaries of the room.
And yet, the combination of brown and white looks boring, additional colorful accents literally beg here. In addition, experimenting with bright colors is much more interesting! At the same time, we keep in mind that neutral white will always come to the rescue and become a lifesaver if there is a need to slightly tweak the darkened corners.
Dark brown and beige in the interior of the apartment
This beautiful balanced combination belongs to monochrome, since both dark brown and beige are part of the same color range, being at the maximum distance in it. The interior, created using this pair, looks calm and harmonious, besides, it is warmer than brown and white. The combination of brown and beige is a good solution for creating a cozy living room or bedroom. To bring such an interior to perfection, it remains to add a few bright accents, this can be done with the help of textiles and decor items. 
The brown-beige range is universal and suitable for any room, from the corridor to the kitchen. This tile will look good in the bathroom and toilet. But do not forget that brown is considered the color of the older generation, so its use in the nursery may not be entirely successful. At least in this combination.
The combination of brown and pink is not only for children!
Pink color will help to put in order the nursery with brown walls. This combination will make the child's room elegant and touching. There is also the opposite situation, when brown is specially added to the pink interior in order to remove excessive cloying. 
Children's is far from the only area of application for brown and pink. The use of these colors in the interior of the bedroom will create a gentle and romantic atmosphere. You can experiment with pink in the design of the living room. 
Dark Brown and Yellow Green in Living Room Design
The spring combination of fresh foliage against the background of brown tree bark pleases the eye, inspires us with optimism, fills the heart with harmony. In the interior of the apartment, this combination looks as fresh and natural as in nature. In a living room with brown walls, decor elements of light green, pistachio, lime shades will play interestingly. These colors will help you relax and unwind after a hard day, put your nerves in order. 
The closer green is to yellow, the more intense its sound in an interior with brown walls. The energy of the sun charges and uplifts, the room is filled with light. To use this pair, the living room and dining room will be especially suitable, brown and yellow will be quite appropriate in the kitchen. 
The combination of brown and purple in interior design
This interesting combination has recently become quite popular. However, for those who are easily influenced by the psychological influence of colors, I would not recommend this combination for the interior of a living room, kitchen or dining room. Brown suppresses emotions and calms, it can be so comfortable that a person loses his will and desire to move forward, and purple is not the best helper to shake us up. On the contrary, according to psychologists, it will further aggravate the impact, bring melancholy and inspire melancholy. Perhaps the bedroom will be the most suitable for this duo, because purple creates a mystical and mysterious atmosphere and is associated with sensual pleasures for many. 
Dark brown, blue and orange - a wonderful trio
Finally, I got to my favorite duo - blue and orange, which looks great against the brown walls. It is known that individually these colors get along well with brown, and yet the best result should be expected from the combination of this trinity. 
Blue brings light and coolness to the bedroom interior, orange adds bright and juicy accents. If you pair these colors in pairs, the mood will change - a brown bedroom with pure blue will be more strict, spacious and a little cold, and a room with orange will be warmer, but at the same time it will become smaller and darker. 
Today we talked about brown in residential design and its combinations with other colors, looked at photos of interiors. I hope this topic was interesting and useful for you!

Before finishing and choosing accessories, you need to think through every detail. Indeed, in every interior, the main thing is not to overdo it with one or another color or combination.
Furniture
Natural wood furniture in the interior is solid. Leather brown sofas are especially different. Shade brown furniture will allow curtains designed in lighter colors. To balance the rich shades of furniture in the interior, the walls are finished with beige materials.
The color of the wooden furniture sheathing is selected with special care. These are green, red, beige, pale pink and shades of the main color. Black color paired with brown is not worth taking.

This applies to the hallway, and the kitchen, and living rooms. It is only necessary to follow a number of simple but important rules when choosing and sticking wallpaper.
How to use wallpaper in the interior?
When using wall coverings in the interior, be guided by the following recommendations:
- since most of the shades of brown are quite dark and somewhat gloomy, thoughtful lighting in the interior comes to the fore. With this act in mind, wallpaper walls lit by light from large windows, or place light fixtures to achieve good lighting;
- in order to ensure the durability of the wallpaper, it is necessary to select finishing materials with a resistant paint layer. This is especially important in places where the wallpaper requires regular cleaning - in the kitchen, in the hallway, hall, corridor;
- You can create additional dynamics in the interior by diluting the brown color with brighter and lighter shades. For example, cocoa or beige;
- remember that dark brown wallpapers - chestnut, chocolate - are not suitable for decorating small rooms, as they visually reduce the space;
- wallpaper with a large pattern should not be taken for pasting the entire perimeter of the room. For example, wallpaper with large flowers is preferable to use for decoration of only one wall in the room in order to expressively accentuate.
Curtains
It is necessary to select curtains for windows with due attention. Designers recommend, when choosing a model, color and style of curtains, to be guided by:
- general color scheme;
- illumination level;
- the dimensions of the room.
What matters here is your own perception of this color, your attitude towards it. If it is perceived as the color of chocolate, coffee, cocoa, then this is an unconditional positive and this is your color, but if you don’t like shades of brown, then you should minimize its presence in the interior.
All of the above must be taken into account when using brown shades in the interior decor. This is especially true for dark colors. Furniture, wallpaper, curtains and other accessories are selected so that it is pleasant to be in the room. Warm brown tones create a cozy atmosphere in the bedroom, living room, nursery.
Most importantly, make sure that the interior is not overloaded with a rich dark color. This makes the design heavier, makes it gloomy, worsens visual comfort. Bright accessories, contrasting decor, and original pieces of furniture can do a good job in enlivening the interior.
Curtains of these shades soften the interior, thanks to the property to reliably protect the room from the sun's rays. The only drawback, which has already been mentioned: the optical reduction of space. In addition, the dominance of dark brown tones in the interior makes the atmosphere in the room gloomy.
There is no reason to refuse the presence of noble brown shades in the interior. Just do not forget about compliance with the measure. The palette in the interior must be used correctly. Organically with all woody shades, dark brown with black veins, wenge, is combined, which is often used when creating a contrasting design.
Brown is valued for its depth and richness, the nobility that it brings to the interior.. Of great importance from the point of view of the designer is the breadth of the tint palette. In some variations, you can catch burgundy or even purple notes.
Solid dark brown curtains are a good design for living rooms and bedroom interiors. If these rooms are spacious enough and well lit. For rooms with a smaller area, brown can be left on light-colored curtains, in the form of patterns, drawings, edging, accessories.
Combination options
To dilute the color in the design of window openings, you can use such a technique as double curtains. To this end, plain canvases are complemented by a transparent tulle or organza curtain.
