Brown Wallpaper

Frequently Asked Questions ▼

Will brown wallpaper make my room feel dark?

Not if you match the shade to the light. In a sunny room, chocolate brown feels rich and cosy. In a smaller or south-facing room that gets less direct sun, choose tan, caramel or mocha, or a pattern on a lighter ground, and keep the ceiling and trim pale.

What colours go well with brown wallpaper?

Cream and warm white are the easiest partners. Sage and olive green feel calm and natural, rust and terracotta add warmth, and dusty pink or soft blue stop brown from feeling heavy. Brass, leather, rattan and natural timber all suit the earthy palette.

Which rooms suit chocolate brown wallpaper?

Deep brown works best where you want a cocooning feel: studies, dining rooms, guest loos, TV lounges and main bedrooms. It looks especially good at night under warm lighting. In an open-plan space, use it on one wall to define a reading nook or dining area.

Is brown wallpaper in style?

Yes. Warm, earthy palettes have replaced cool greys in many interiors, and browns from caramel to espresso suit both vintage-inspired and modern schemes. Pattern keeps it feeling current: gingham, botanicals, grasscloth looks and sepia murals feel fresher than a flat solid colour.
