TREND | BROWN INTERIORS

Brown Interiors Trends

It’s probably safe to say that we all have complicated interior with brown interiors. Before we all jump to any ugly conclusions, we’d like you to hear us out on the return of the brown interior.

When you think brown interiors, you might rewind to the 1990s and the yellowish brown wood joinery that seemingly every kitchen was made from. You know with the ones with the old shaker style doors and round wooden knobs? Possibly

Fast forward to today, and shades of brown are completely back in a new way. Neutrals are nothing new, but the revival of this earthy hue shouldn’t come as a surprise. It has a calming and resilient element that keeps us grounded. The warmth of the colour plays up the cosy intimacy of a setting, and it has a refined and sophisticated association

The revival of this earthy hue coincides with the larger shift towards moodier spaces, also known as warm minimalism. In the past minimalism has been interpreted as all white interiors, and while beautiful, if not done correctly, this can lead to stark and sterile spaces. As people now crave colours that are comforting, we’ve seen the rise of new neutrals (think how popular green has become in recent years). Brown can similarly provide a pared down palette, bringing warmth, earthiness and a sense of calm to any setting.

Brown also has such a rich variety of available shades. Think deep rich chocolates to creamy caramels, and the versatile colour can be paired with everything from other neutrals (taupe, terracotta), to jewel tones and primary colours.  This makes it particularly appealing to people who fall in the middle of these design styles, as it provides a neutral base that works well with other pops of colour.

Convinced to add some earthy accents to your own space? Here’s the good news… unlike some interior design trends, brown will be in “forever” colour.  And that really is what design is about. As much as we talk about trends, good design is about creating spaces that are timeless and here for the long haul.
