Chonda selection
If you are sure that this gamma is not for you, do not hurry to give up it. Cinnamon color is diverse: brandy, copper, ocher, umbra, terracotta and even mustard - they are all derived from him. At the same time there are bright shades close to beige, and dark, almost black. And, of course, they are all divided into cold and warm. The first have blue in the bottom, they are closer to gray and ash, and the second is red and green.
For the design of the living room in brown color today rarely use clean shades. More often they take complex paints. This is especially noticeable in large color spots. If there is still clean tone in the decor and items, it uses reddish, crimson or almost beige paints for wall design.
Since the living room is one of the main rooms in an apartment or house, it is very important to take into account not only your own desires, but also the features of space.
- The longer gamut can afford the owners of well-lit rooms. It is desirable that they are and spacious too. So the color will not put pressure and visually reduce the area.
- In a small room, choose less contrasting combinations.
- If the lack of natural light is felt, we recommend choosing a light gamut. In this case, as a base, you can take the most neutral - gray, white and beige shades. And supplement them with ocher, gray-brown tones, but not very dark. More tight paints use the minimum.
Classic combinations
In modern reading, this gamut is taken both independently and in combination with other colors. Consider each option in more detail.Living room in beige-brown tones (monochrome)
The most relaxed palette of light dairy and caramel shades is combined here with dark accents. Complete it with warm metal, and it will turn out to be modern design without risk.
What to pay attention to
- Monochrome is close to minimalism. This means that one of the key aspects here is the form of furniture. It is important to introduce current silhouettes and models.
- Keep track of design projects that you like, mark your favorite furniture. Most companies of the average price segment and mass market offer good models.
- Vintage will also be appropriate, it can be cool to beat in a modern style. If the upholstery or coating are not perfect, do not be afraid of experiments. You can safely rebuild or repaint item.
With the base
If the monochrie seems boring, but on the color you still did not dare, we suggest to consider the interior of the living room in brown in combination with the base. As a light base, you can use white, light gray, ash. And the dark nut is diluted with graphite, wet asphalt and black.
The proportions depend on the shape of the room and the level of illumination. The more natural light, the more contrasting combinations you can afford. However, designers often resort to emphasis in the decoration of the walls just for visual correction of space. But independently, especially without experience, it is difficult to do it.
With color
Many consider a brownish basic gamma. Therefore, boldly add color to the interior. This technique works well when you plan to add one koler.
- In the circle of Yeten opposite the orange-brown beam lies blue. Such a couple will be one of the most harmonious.
- If a light brown palette is used, pay attention to violet paints. Such a combination will also be contrasting and stylish.
- With green gamut - classic. Choose herbaceous, emerald, bottle tones, so that the palette looks more expensive.
- The idea with monochrome can be slightly transformed by adding paint to the decoration of red, orange and yellow beam. These are nearby tones that will look wint.
Materials and textures
The design of the living room in brown tones even without taking into account the stylistic component is close to nature. In general, it is one of the most natural palettes. Therefore, when choosing finishes, furniture and even decor pay attention to textures.Tree and rattan
The easiest material that will add a brownish palette to the living room. The selection of the breed depends on the palette. You can use up to three different shades of wood in the room: these are floors, and furniture, and even the ceiling, details.
Great idea - Use instead of brown wallpapers in the interior of the living room an accent wooden panel. This technique is actively using designers in their projects, for example, when zoning a room combined with a kitchen. In this case, try to make the rest of the walls to make neutral so that it does not argue with the accent.
Rattan is the nearest brother of wood. If you want to give the room of lightness and mood boho, look at the stands, chairs or even rattan chairs.
Leather
Another spectacular material that organically looks in the warm tones of cinnamon. The leather sofa or chairs will become a bright semantic and visual center of space.Brick
It has long been used not only in the Loft style. Red brick will make a brutality note even in neoclassical design. And the eclectics and mixing textures today are in the design trends.
Using color
According to statistics, it is in the living room we spend the most time. Therefore, the selection of the design of the design must be approached especially carefully. There are several options for the introduction of color.Base
The base is about 60% of the entire design. This is usually finishing. Not only wallpaper or paint, but also a brick wall, which we talked about above, and wooden slats are suitable for the walls. Separately, it is worth mentioning the floor finish. Parquet, laminate or porcelain stoneware in the dark range - the solution is win-win.
Addition
In such a design, a brown palette should occupy a third of the space. There may be a floor finish and furniture items: a soft group of sofas and seats supported by large color stains of textiles - curtains or tumul.
Accents
Decor of wood or chocolate color is a fairly simple solution. Try complement the interior with wooden or ceramic vases, wicker baskets, natural cotton and flax pillows. At the peak of the popularity of dried flowers, and most of them have a natural color - brownish. Pampas grass, boxes of scabiosa or palm leaves will add a Mediterranean mood to the hall.
