Brown is a fan-favourite colour scheme when it comes to contemporary interior designs. Singaporeans have developed a certain affinity for this particular neutral-hue, and are finding newer and innovative ways to use it in their homes. So today, we’ll be looking at 5 ideas especially for those who want to enrich their homes with brown hues. Let’s take a look:

If you’re using browns in textured form – such as wood – then you can create a unique ambiance by pairing it up with plain, solid colours. The interior design in this image is a great example. While the feature length shelf acts as a creative way to introduce browns, the navy blue media wall balances out its rustic appeal with a modernized look that is extremely attractive.
 2. Just furniture accents

Using your furniture and accessories is a great way to emulate brown colour in plain interior designs. Against a backdrop of white, the varying hues of browns emulated through furniture and décor tend to stand out even more. Just look at this image for example; the sofa, curtains, media console, and even the area rug has been especially selected to introduce a great visual dynamic within the whole ambiance.
3. Getting creative with materials

When everything is said and done, wood is the core of all brown design elements. It’s also a pretty versatile material so you can just have a lot of fun with it. You can use a lot of wooden design elements in your plain interior designs to enrich them with a naturally warm beauty. The stylish mullion partition wall in this image is a great example of this technique.
5. In terms of bolder colours

Since brown is categorised as a ‘neutral’ shade, you can pair it up with bolder hues to get a great look. Just take a look at this kitchen interior design. The unique contrast of black backsplash and countertops with white over-cabinets makes the wooden laminate used in the under-cabinets so much more attractive.
