Brown Is The New Black!

Brown is The New Black

I was at a girls lunch and looking around I noticed that half the table was wearing brown, and as we know fashion is generally the best indicator of what’s on the agenda decor wise, since trends trickle down from there. 

Not that brown hasn’t been making it way through interiors over the last few year. However, now more than ever, brown is the new dominant neutral in interior design, bringing warmth, depth, sophistication – and a sense of lived in luxury. It is the antidote to a decade of cool greys and stark whites

There are few colours as reliable as brown. Brown evokes comfort while embracing boldness. Rich coca, caramel and espresso tones read as refined and timeless, making spaces feel cocooning, and liveable. This earthy, versatile hue pairs well with almost every other shade, and can be incorporated through natural materials like wood, as well as furnishings, decor, and paint ideas.

If you look a the materials being favoured right now – marble, warm stone, unlacquered brass, natural oak, honed marble, textured linens and creamy whites – brown plays well with all of them. 

It works across all styles, And that’s that makes it the ultimate grounding colour.
