When thinking of colors suitable for a traditional style, brown is undoubtedly the first shade that comes to mind. Brown is, in fact, often associated with everything traditional, vintage, and lived-in; it is the color of the earth, a shade that conveys warmth and harmony with a touch of delicate elegance.
In reality, brown is a color that can also be used for more modern decor; just think, for example, of the industrial style, where the brown of wood is combined with dark metal details. In other cases, however, brown can be paired with cool colors to create pleasant contrasts, while also playing with materials.
How to pair brown?
Before offering some tips on how to pair brown, it is interesting to highlight how this color is created. Brown is obtained by mixing the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue, and depending on the proportions of the primary colors used, it is possible to obtain a wide range of shades, from beige to dark chocolate.
Being a color often associated with the earth, brown psychologically refers to nature and therefore to something genuine, calm, and that instills a sense of protection. Decorating with the color brown therefore means transforming the home into an intimate, welcoming, and safe space.
But in which rooms of the house is it advisable to use the color brown? In reality, this shade is quite versatile and can be used both for furniture and decorative accessories as well as for the walls. The rooms where brown can be used are not limited to the living room and kitchen, but extend all the way to the bedroom.
Depending on the type of furniture chosen, it is then possible to select the shade of the walls and vice versa: in a room with modern furniture in light tones, it is preferable to use dark brown, such as chocolate brown, for the walls, while conversely, in a room with classic furniture, the walls should be a lighter shade of brown, such as beige. The choice of colors to pair with brown is also quite varied and includes white, black, blue, and gray.
Brown Living Room: which decorative accessories to choose
Furniture and walls are not the only elements available for decorating with the color brown because it is also important to take accessories into account. Decorative accessories allow you to give rooms the desired touch of color without excessively weighing down the space and are the ideal solution for experimenting before launching into an actual renovation and room restyling project.
Exactly as with furniture, decorative accessories are also among the most varied: cushions, rugs, paintings, mirrors, and lamps are just some of the brown-colored details that can be added to any room of the house, from the kitchen to the bathroom.
If you prefer a classic and elegant style, especially regarding the furnishing of the living room or study, one of the most fitting choices remains the Zoffoli globes.
Zoffoli globes: the charm of brown
Characterized by a design with attention to the smallest details, the result of purely Italian craftsmanship, Zoffoli globes are the ideal solution for those who wish to decorate their home with the color brown. The globes are available in different models—table, desk, and floor-standing—and some models can be used as a veritable chest to store bottles of liquor and wine to enjoy alone or in the company of guests.
This is the case with the Explora - Honey Brown and Minerva models, with a turned beech wood base and a 40 cm diameter sphere to store bottles and glasses; the Nettuno model can also be used for the same purpose, but it is specifically a table model. The Vertigo and Quadra Leather models, on the other hand, are precious design objects that combine a classic and sophisticated style with modern and innovative materials such as stainless steel and technical leather.
When choosing the globe, it will therefore be fundamental to consider the tones of the room where you wish to place it, the dimensions, and the most functional design: whatever the choice, a piece of craftsmanship of such value will fit perfectly into the decor and amaze
