Who doesn't love chocolate and color? I'm about to show you a very seductive way to get color into your home and chocolate is going to be the main ingredient.
We are about to embark on a delicious journey into color. This is the start of my Chocolate Lovers Series which will include postings on color of course but also how a very specific color can be the “bitter sweet” ingredient to beautify your home. What color am I talking about? It's brown of course!
When we think of chocolate, the color that first comes to mind is brown. Brown is the perfect foundation to start any color scheme for your home and it's not necessarily a paint color I'm referring to. You can start with a brown carpet, dark, rich wood flooring, a deep brown field tile or even accessories in your home. But, it's how you use OTHER colors in conjunction with brown that will make this “feel good” color surprise you.
So get those serotonin levels pumping because if your not excited about brown now, you certainly will be by the time this series is complete.

Perfect timing with this series. I'm in the middle of selecting fabrics for a sofa and chairs and I'm leaning towards brown for the sofa. I don't know what direction to go with the chairs. There's yellow ochre, salmon and blue in the cream rug but if I do blue chairs the room will feel dated (brown & blue). I am not sure about pinky-orange chairs and ditto with the ochre.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this series.
I'm so glad you like this series. I have some amazing things to talk about over the next few weeks - it's looking at color a whole new way!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the brown and blue - beautiful but dated. Subscribe by email so you don't miss out on any posts. You may have a new color to match with your brown sofa very shortly!
Donna,
ReplyDeleteGreat points about brown surprising you. It doesn't have to be the "obvious" pairings like brown and blue and general color trend associations tagged with them.
I really try to avoid the obvious. That's the fun part of design :-)
