Bedroom interior design in brown tones

A bedroom in brown tones is a common, popular, but not always successful option. Not because it is difficult to design in these colors, but because it is difficult to go beyond the usual solutions. The color consists of dozens of shades, offers many combinations that allow you to create a variety of effects. From a boring brown palette, you can come to an elegance, stylish, very modern concept in a chocolate palette. And for this you need to start with theory.

Traditionally, brown is considered a strong and energetically rich color. But nevertheless, it is inferior to black, red and white in this strength, it is more informal. This color is perfect for a man in the bedroom: it is a really masculine color that sets you up for relaxation and reboot. But a woman will also feel comfortable in a brown bedroom if the accents are correctly placed in it. Brown is the color of conservatives: restraint, slowness, calmness can be considered synonymous. The nice quality of color is that it is capable of instilling safety. It has been proven that in a room decorated in this color scheme, a person feels protected.

If you combine brown with other natural tones, the bedroom will look fresh and stylish.But there are a lot of shades of brown, because there are no universal tips on color compatibility, you need to take into account a specific tone, etc. The most popular combinations:

• beige / sand + rich brown - they are combined almost always, suitable for people suffering from insomnia and psycho-emotional disorders;

• beige + dark chocolate + green accents - the optimal setting for an anti-stress mood;

• light and warm tones of brown create an atmosphere of relaxation, warmth and security.

And now about how to decorate the interior in less familiar combinations. Intense chocolate tones combine well with white, blue, sandy, beige, and also with gray in the presence of a blue undertone. The taupe palette works well with greens, oranges, and coral. The red-brown color will make friends with apricot, light green, mustard. The classic brown color is in harmony with light green, white, turquoise, green.

Furniture that appears in the context of such a bedroom is worth a separate mention. Try to choose either stable combinations, or even furniture of the same type (for example, strictly walnut or wenge). You can combine wenge and cocoa, allowing a third accent color in the color concept. Correctly combined colors of furniture give rigor and emotionally correct perception. The room, where blue is combined with gold, and furniture in it in different shades of brown, looks clumsy, which can be called design-out of sync.

Brown is one of the most fertile colors for designers. Since most of the furniture is produced in this color scheme, the styles that are appropriate for this furniture are varied. For example, brown will take root perfectly in the following styles.

• Scandinavian. Those who consider Scandi-style synonymous with white and gray are mistaken. Furniture in it is very often from the brown range, especially in the bedroom. If you want to be trendy, look at the 60s / 70s style wardrobes, dressers, desks, and dressing tables. This is relevant now. And if you have a Soviet old table in a noble brown color (possibly mahogany) with polish and roundness, do not hide it. All this is returning to fashion and becoming a trend.

• Provence. Provence is an ode to nature, naturalness, beauty of the changing seasons, simple life outside the metropolis. And in this style, the color of the earth is always present, which is found in the design of surfaces (floors and walls), furniture (bed, wardrobe, table).

• Country. Rustic style is also impossible to imagine without brown. Color saturation can be different, but the beige and brown scale will be the base of the style.

• Ethno. For example, a hot African-style bedroom cannot do without sand and light brown.

Walls, floor, ceiling - even before the start of the renovation, the owners know exactly how this trinity will look. The ceiling is not often made brown, but the walls and floor in this color are a popular solution. Often it is beige wallpaper with a brown print, which, as it seems to the owners, is suitable for everything. But another solution is more interesting, when there is no brown in the finish, it is only in accessories and textiles. For example, you have a green bedroom: a ceiling with a soft olive tint, a floor of a similar shade, green wallpaper. But furniture in such a bedroom can be taken in walnut or wenge colors. Let's say the variant of the transitional color of furniture (from olive to walnut), but the bedspread, curtains and pillows can be of a deep brown hue.

It depends on the tonality of the main color. The darker the bedroom turns out, the more light should be in it. Many owners make a darkened bedroom on purpose, since only in such walls they can fully sleep. But still, you need to leave the chances of comfortable reading, embroidery or even communication with a loved one in such a dark bedroom. If you don't like central light, put a fairly bright floor lamp by the bed. Such that the lights are not completely subdued, so that the illumination radius is rather big.

You can put a lamp of good brightness on the dressing table. Or you can even order a dressing room table with bright, high-quality lighting. It will not disturb the general mood of the room. There are many lamps on sale today with various effects: overflows, play and color change, the ability to adjust the brightness. If you can harness the energy of light, relax and tune in with it, such an acquisition can be beneficial.

A brown bedroom can accommodate white furniture convincingly. For example, a white bed with an upholstered headboard in a chicory bedroom would be great. But to do this, cover at least one wall (for example, the one with the window) with wallpaper in the color of coffee with milk. White should be somewhere else - in the baseboards or moldings, in the bedside table or in the paintings on the wall. Suitable for brown bedroom:

• beds and headsets in graphite color - if you guess with the color temperature, choose shades of brown and graphite that are close in this sense, the combination will be very successful, chic and warm;
• different types of nightstands - they can be of a different color than the bed, fall out of the general set - for example, an aquamarine or blue curbstone in a brown bedroom can look great (but find a blue partner - in the form of pillows or a decorative chest, rug);
• beige sofas with a print that repeats the color of the wallpaper - if the sofa is really needed in the room and will not overload it.

Those who cannot afford a radical renovation are still able to transform the bedroom with only accessories and textiles. For example, take and change the curtains: sometimes this is enough for the room to acquire a new "face". The nuances of the brown bedroom are as follows.

• Textile. If the bedroom is on the south side, there is texture in the furniture and wallpaper (fleecy, velvet, suede-like options), try not to overdo it with this warm theme in textiles. Because of this, the room will seem stuffy, dusty. Smooth, “cold” textiles look good in the southern bedroom.

• Curtains. If you hang brown curtains with an African motif in a neutral bedroom (white, beige), the room will be filled with an atmosphere of heat and dynamics. If you hang brown curtains with a print in the form of white rings, you can "make friends" them with a white carpet.

• Painting. It should not be out of the general range. Both classic landscapes and iconic reproductions are good. For example, in a cinnamon-colored bedroom with mustard accents, a reproduction of Van Gogh's Sunflowers might look good.

• Vases. Floor vases very often serve as a transitional bridge in the interior, they are ways to "make friends" 2 colors, remove the feeling of emptiness, etc. Dark chocolate vases in a beige bedroom can be in harmony with paintings in dark chocolate frames on the walls or with curtains of the same tone ...

Let's stop on 5 versatile brown bedroom options.

• The photo is not the smallest bedroom, although this is all a visual effect. The right combination of shades of brown makes a standard room look larger. And how noble the interior turned out to be, how subtly the design was chosen. Cocoa with milk, coffee with milk, mustard - these are what can be combined well with white.

• Notice how simple and elegant, and even difficult to guess, that this is a narrow rectangular bedroom.Very simple, inexpensive bedside tables look stylish and confident in the overall context. Excellent combination of brown and olive.

• See how turquoise combines beautifully with brown. Both gray and white are present in the design, everything together is in a calm, pacifying organic matter.

• White bedroom with brown splashes. Freshness, rigor and geometry have been preserved. The effect of the sterility of the room disappears.

• Not a bedroom, but an ode to brown shades. And there is no excessiveness in this, if you like these colors. The bedroom is practical, functional, modern.
