Blue and Brown in the Living Room

A great color combination is huge in the success of a room. I've always been a huge fan of Blue and Brown together. Together they are super chic and both are neutrals, so it's really easy to add pops of other colors in the room.

Custom Wallpaper: StopDrop, Hampton Blue, Spring Grass, Classic Brown, Large Scale.

For starters, I'm so in love with the StopDrop pattern. It's a slightly mod pattern (but certainly not over the top) and the blue, green and brown color way really makes it shine. There's definitely no denying that with a color way and pattern like this; you're going for a certain look - but isn't that the point? Don't be afraid of making a statement. I recommend using this wallpaper for an accent wall. The wall in an entry way is a great place to make a huge statement.

24-inch Drum Pendant Light: Chocolate Linen. 10-inch shade length. White Canopy, 4.5-foot white cord. Optional Diffuser.

A great addition to help tie in the Blue and Brown colors is with a lamp. It'll help make sense of the space. A great thing about custom pieces is that you know the color of the lamp will match the colors of the wallpaper perfectly.
