Tan and Brown in the Living Room

In my new home, my walls are currently tan and my leather sofa and chair are brown (we haven't gotten around to painting and/or wallpapering yet) - so I've been trying to get inspired by this color palette. Surprisingly, thanks to customized wallpaper- it's not hard to get inspired by this pair.

Custom Wallpaper: Equinox, Chocolate Milk, Classic Brown, Medium Scale.

Custom Wallpaper: Cottage Garden, Chocolate Milk, Classic Brown, Large Scale.

Tan and Brown are great colors together because one will always help the other 'pop'. They are great for patterns because the design will always shine. There are also a million and one colors that serve well as accents with this dynamic duo (as you'll see below)


Custom Wallpaper: Manhattan, Chocolate Milk, Classic Brown, Ginger, Large Scale.

Custom Wallpaper: Pearl District, Chocolate Milk, Classic Brown, Pale Turquoise, Charcoal Gray, Large Scale.
Accent colors should always be your best friend (I know I probably say that too much) - but I'm serious. Yellow stands out when paired with Tan and Brown (and not in a 70's sort of way). My personal favorite combination is the Pearl District (last image shown). Tan, Chocolate Brown, Pale Turquoise and Charcoal Gray- come on! Perfection.

14-inch Drum Lamp Shade: Turquoise. 10-inch shade length.

I recommend using this lamp to go with any of the above custom wallpapers.
