Can't Get Enough Brown

I receive so many emails requesting more pictures and advice on decorating with brown that I've compiled some photos from a variety or sources in hopes of providing some inspiration to those of you looking forward to decorating with this color. Without further ado, we'll start off with a designer who has this color name for his last name and who is a big fan of decorating with it, above photos from designer Kenneth Brown.

Working with Rich Browns

Like shaved chocolate afloat a frothy cappuccino, browns are sumptuous and comforting. Colors of the earth, warm and rich browns are a pleasure to work with and are very versatile. Deep chocolatey browns add a touch of sophistication and elegance to a space. Browns also suggest reliabilty, approachability and groundedness. The currently popular chocolate browns work well with so many colors. Brown with Robins Egg blue is a great pairing and deep browns also look fabulous with greens and green blues such as teal. Above see Benjamins Moore's Chocolate Sundae 2113 paired with Sunlit Coral 2170, a warm and tempting combination.

A new color trend for baby girls is rich brown coupled with pink and for boys brown with apple green. The color combinations are modern and yet still so sweet!
