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

Color features

Brown is traditionally considered a strong and energetically rich color. But nevertheless he is inferior to black, red and white in this force, he is more informal. Such a color is perfect for a man in the bedroom: it is really a masculine color that sets up for rest and reboot. But a woman will feel comfortable in a brown bedroom, if her accents are correctly placed. Brown is the color of conservatives: restraint, leisurelyness, calmness can be considered its synonyms. The nice quality of the color is that it can inspire safety. It is proved that in a room decorated in this color scheme, a person feels protected.

Brown is the color of the earth, and therefore it is associated with solidity and reliability. Even the phrase “stand firmly on the ground” has the same implication: safety and reliability. Maybe that's why brown is so often the preferred color when decorating bedrooms.

Combinations

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 the compatibility of colors, you need to take into account the specific tone, etc. Most popular combinations:

  • beige / sand + saturated brown - almost always go together, suitable for people suffering from insomnia and disorders of the psycho-emotional sphere;
  • beige + dark chocolate + green accents - the best setting for an anti-stress mood;
  • light and warm tones of brown create an atmosphere of relaxation, warmth, security.

And now about how to decorate the interior in less familiar combinations. Rich chocolate tones are well combined with white, blue, sand, beige, as well as gray with a blue tint. The gray-brown palette combines well with green, orange and coral shades. Red-brown color makes friends with apricot, lime, mustard. Classic brown color in harmony with light green, white, turquoise, green.

Separate mention is the furniture that appears in the context of such a bedroom. 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. A room where blue is combined with gold, and the furniture in it is of different shades of brown, looks rather dumb, which can be called a design-desync.

Styles

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

  • Scandinavian. Those who consider Scandi style to be synonymous with white and gray are mistaken. The furniture in it is very often from brown tones, especially in the bedroom. If you want to be fashionable, take a look at the cabinets, chests of drawers, desks and dressing tables in the style of the 60s, 70s. This is now relevant. And if you have a Soviet old table in a noble brown color (possibly mahogany) with polished and round shapes, do not hide it. All this is back in fashion and becoming a trend.
  • Provence. Provence is an ode to nature, naturalness, the beauty of the seasons, the simple life outside the metropolis. And in this style there is always a color of the earth, which is found in the design of surfaces (floor and walls), furniture (bed, wardrobe, table).
  • Country. Rural style is also impossible to imagine without brown. The color saturation may be different, but the beige-brown gamut will be the basis of the style.
  • Ethno. For example, a hot African-style bedroom will not do without sand and light brown.

Color can be applied to different styles, except that only techno and hi-tech try to avoid it (but there are exceptions).

Finish options

Walls, floor, ceiling - even before the start of the repair, the owners know exactly what this trinity will look like. The ceiling is made brown infrequently, but the walls and floor in this color are a popular solution. Often these are beige wallpapers with a brown print, which, as it seems to the owners, are suitable for everything. But another solution, when there is no brown in the finish, is more interesting, it is only in accessories and textiles. For example, you have a green bedroom: a ceiling with a soft olive tint, a similar shade of the floor, green wallpaper. But the furniture in such a bedroom you can take the color of walnut or wenge. Let us assume the transitional color of the furniture (from olive to walnut), but the bedspread, curtains and pillows can be a deep brown shade.

Lighting organization

It depends on the tonality of the primary color. The darker the bedroom, the more light should be in it. Many owners specifically make a darkened bedroom, since only in such walls can they fully sleep. But still, you need to leave the chances for comfortable reading, embroidery or even chatting with a loved one in such a dark bedroom. If you do not like the central light, put a fairly bright floor lamp by the bed. Such that the light is not completely muffled, so that the radius of illumination is rather big.

On the dressing table you can put a good brightness lamp. Or you can even order a dressing table with a bright, high-quality lighting. She will not disturb the general mood of the room. On sale today there are many lamps with various effects: overflows, game and color change, the ability to adjust brightness. If you can use the energy of light, relax and tune with it, such an acquisition can be useful.

Furniture selection

The brown bedroom can convincingly fit white furniture. For example, a white bed with a soft headboard in a chicory bedroom will be very successful. But to do this, cover at least one wall (for example, the one with the window) with wallpaper the color of coffee with milk. White should be somewhere else - in skirting boards or moldings, in bedside tables or paintings on the wall. Suitable in a brown bedroom:

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

Furniture does not have to be the same color. But each piece of furniture in color should have a companion in the interior.

Textiles and Decor Elements

Those who can not afford a radical renovation can still transform the bedroom with accessories and textiles. For example, take and change the curtains: sometimes it’s enough for the room to find a new “face”. The nuances of the brown bedroom are as follows.

  • Textile. If the bedroom is on the south side, the furniture and wallpaper have a texture (fleecy, “velvet”, “suede” options), try not to overdo it with this warm theme in textiles. Because of this, the room will seem stuffy, dusty. In the southern bedroom, smooth, “cold” textiles look good.
  • Curtains. If in the neutral color of the bedroom (white, beige) hang brown curtains with an African motif, 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" with a white carpet.
  • Picture. It should not get out of the general scale. Classic landscapes and iconic reproductions are also 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 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 .

The more examples of interiors you looked at, the more design patterns you noticed. Therefore, we are moving from theory to practice.

Good examples

Let's stop on the 5 varied 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 the standard room visually larger. And how noble the interior turned out, how finely selected the design. Cocoa with milk, coffee with milk, mustard - this is what can combine well with white.
  • Pay attention to how simple and elegant, and even hard to guess, that this is a narrow rectangular bedroom. Very simple inexpensive bedside tables look stylish and confident in the general context.A great combination of brown and olive.
  • See how turquoise and brown combine beautifully. The design has both gray and white colors, all together is in a calm, pacifying organic.
  • White bedroom with brown spots. Preserved and freshness, and rigor, and geometry. The sterility effect of the room disappears.
  • Not a bedroom, but an ode to brown shades. And this is not excessive if you like these colors. The bedroom is practical, functional, modern.

If you are bored with brown, do not rush to conclusions: perhaps you just did not know how interesting and stylish it could be.
