The Trendiest Ways To Style A Brown Sofa
Styling a brown sofa is all about balance. Brown is a neutral color, but the dark color commands a room on a large couch. To keep your living room from looking too dark you can paint the walls a light color. According to Mohawk Home, colors that go well with brown are white, beige, gray, and tan. If your living room has windows, allow more natural light in with sheer curtains to brighten the room.
Brown sofas also go well with accents of blue and green. This could be used in throw pillows, blankets, carpets, and accent walls. When choosing how to furnish your living room, wood is a material that goes great with brown. You can incorporate wood through coffee tables, framed wall art, and flooring. However, to break the space between brown wood floors and brown sofas, rugs work great. It's also important to keep in mind that a sofa should only take up two-thirds the size of your living room.
