Color psychology: Decorating with Brown
Posted by Charnell on July 14th, 2010
Earthy and secure, associated with nature, earth, comfort, reliability and warmth, it conveys a sense of familiarity and home.

Bedroom: The psychological effects of the color brown are often described as reassuring, safe and stabilizing. Decorate your room in shades of earth tones to sleep “safe” and sound.

Bathroom: While lighter shades of brown are more associated with “safety” and “nurturing”, dark chocolate browns are associated with sensuality.

Living room: Is black too “black” for you? Soften the psychological impact of stark black by using near-black neutrals like charcoal or dark coffee browns. They carry visual weight, but without the severity of outright pitch-blackness.

Dining room: Literally ANY color goes with, especially, chocolate brown. If you’re not that adventurous but would like to try a different color scheme in your home, use brown as a base color and dress it up with a second, brighter color.

Kitchen: Brown can add warmth and depth. It can inject earthiness into a cool or neutral color combination and make it more welcoming. Obviously, the psychological effects of the color brown vary with its shades and tints.

Office: Create a “trusting” atmosphere for your employees and clients.

How NOT to decorate in brown: Not all people like bright colors but not adding ANY color to a predominantly brown room, can make the color scheme seem very dull.
