Toffee/Caramel

These soft and mouth-watering brown hues will create a cosy and homely feel in any home interior. These rich colour tones work wonderfully in a rustic country inspired home with rich burnt orange, mustard and terracotta hues. Toffee and cream look great as tartan and plaid fabrics that can be used across your curtains, bedding, cushions and throws. These can also be paired with orange and brown faux fur cushions and throws that will look perfect scattered along a sofa or sleeping area. These also match great with golden oak furniture items to complete this rich and welcoming look.

Mocha/coffee

These mid tone brown hues are perfect for creating a modern and cosy feel in any room of the home. These rich hues will create a café inspired interior design that works well in French inspired interior designs. These brown colour tones can be teamed with metallic gold and brass accessories such as lighting, candle holders and ornaments for a traditional look that is illuminating and luxurious. You could also include some grey painted furniture items for a subtle contrast in colour that maintains a soft and elegant feel within your chosen room.

 

 

Chocolate

A deep and rich chocolate colour scheme will create depth and sophistication in both modern and traditional home interiors. This colour looks great paired with cosy cream and beige hues for a classic country cottage feel. A rich chocolate and cream wallpaper in bold or striped patterns will make a cosy alternative to traditional monochrome colour palettes and will create a focal point within your chosen room. Dark mahogany furniture will give a traditional twist to this rich colour palette while cream painted furniture will create a cosy yet uplifting feel that is perfect for the upcoming winter months.

Tips and Hints

Gold and Brass are perfect for complimenting this colour scheme and are sure to create a hint of traditional luxury within your home. If natural elegance is more your style, then why not include some wooden ornaments and accessories that look particularly great in rustic or country style home. You don’t have to stick to a single brown tone, you can mix and match across all of the hues from light and bright to the deepest dark to create an individual interior style that can be accommodated throughout all rooms of the home.
