Brown interiors combine natural and luxurious hues to create the perfect bedroom to relax and recharge in. Gone are the common misconceptions that brown can make a space feel dark or oppressive – when balanced correctly, these tones can do the exact opposite by evoking feelings of warmth and serenity.

When considering furniture pieces, it is important to first assess your space. If you are working with a smaller room, opting for dark wood furniture can make a room feel smaller and cramped. Choose lighter wood with a subtle distemper, such as our Gustavian Collection, to add an elegant yet natural feel to your bedroom.

Choosing lighter wood can also make styling a lot easier as, after all, you are working with a more neutral canvas. Choosing bedding and soft furnishings in brown also allows you to add pops of other complementary colours such as green or mustard. Introduce varying tones across your bedlinen, cushions and throws to add dimension and texture. We love a more neutral bedlinen such as the Apricity Oatmeal Crinkle Bed Linen Set as a starting point. Add to the look with slightly darker hues such as hazelnut or chocolate with the Mimi Faux Fur Throw or Little Nutbrown Kantha Throw. Complete your bedscape with cushions of varying tones, for example the Ozurie Woven Cushion paired with the Handblock Print Cushion in Cinnamon Spice.

When adding finishing touches, tap into nature with dried foliage, introduce soft lighting with table lamps and add elements of your personality with carefully selected artwork.

“Browns can act as a base to provide a subtle, sophisticated joy and comfort, without vying for attention. Equally, they have a strength of their own enabling them to take centre stage in the art of subtly and sophistication.

We’re on the brink of releasing one of our most loved existing collections in a brown, which, as a dark sophisticated wood, takes a position of strength and warmth in a tonally deep bedroom, perfectly complimenting other deep rich colours such as rust, forest, and berry. Deep browns allow the texture of materials to come to the fore, emphasising their richness, such as the dept and movement in velvets, or the natural grain in wood.” – Georgia Metcalfe, Founder and Creative Director
