If your leather couch is brown in color, then there are appropriate furnishings and colors that you should use to get the best out of your room. Brown colored leather furniture makes a room feel luxurious and upscale. Brown can be used with other complementary colors to create a soothing and tranquil environment, or it can be used to bring vibrant energy into the room. It is however, important to consider the furniture’s style in relation to the home’s existing color scheme and overall architectural design before you choose the decorating colors.
Windows
To bring in soft texture, use fabric treatments on the windows. Use creamy white or light tan canvas window shades. Draperies in warm colors such as terra cotta red, sage green or golden yellow can help to heat the room. If you opt to add design pizzazz to the draperies in a neutral palette, use the ones with brown and white stripes, floral, chevron or with patterned print. Juicy orange and lime green colors on draperies will help to intensify visual interest. Use white sheers for a bright and fresh look. You can also lighten the room with white blinds.
Wall colors
The colors of the wall should balance that of the furniture. If you paint it in brown, your room may end up being lifeless. Paint the walls with a light color to contrast the color of the furniture and to make the room feel spacious. Use colors such as barely beige, soft white or light yellow. Create an accent wall to develop visual interest using sunflower yellow, turquoise blue or lime green.
Other furniture
The rest of the furniture should complement the brown furniture. Use ottomans and additional seating that is upholstered using fabric, in colors of your choice. You can use microfibers in off white. They will provide textual appeal and durability while enhancing the neutral pallet of brown and white. Enrich the appearance of the room by using accent bedside or dining tables from reclaimed barn wood that provides the natural earthy look. Glass top tables with chrome legs that are shiny can complement the modern brown leather chairs and sofas. A white marble top table can add elegance while a wooden tabletop with bright colors such as lemon yellow, tangy orange or kiwi green can add electric flair to the room.
Accessories
Add outdoor freshness and perky with pillows in white, green and blue colors. For a clean, feel use light grays, crisp whites and soft blues on the pillows. Over sized earthenware full of sticks from natural bamboo, green plants and vases of yellow and orange flowers can help to include earthy appeal to the room. Use the walls to enhance the brown leather color using sepia toned photographs. An abstract painting full of color can add modern appeal.
Lighting
To enhance the furniture and for task lighting, use table and floor lamps of black wrought iron. For a modern ambiance, use lamps with brushed chrome bases and white shades. Recessed lighting can also help in brightening the room that has dark furniture.
