Colour Combinations

You may have noticed the trend for greys becoming browner and warmer again.

Brown is an enormously versatile colour to work with and can act as a useful stabilizing colour if you want to add some loud vibrant colours to your room. It takes on a “sensible” parenting role keeping vibrant colours “ in check”. Actually, you will find browns often need a lift from another colour to prevent the room appearing overly somber.

Heals room set above demonstrates this perfectly as the designer has punctuated the room with a bright orange Spoon chair and desk from Kartell.

The market is saturated with wonderfully bright pieces of furniture this season just waiting to be tamed with some good classic browns. Try out our orange “Woman’s Coat” with its associated 4/4 brown from our Fauvism 55 range on the room interactive to create some dynamic projects.
