What are your shades?
As you begin to explore the colour scheme of brown, you realise how complex this seemingly simple colour shade is.
Depending onwhether more red and orange or blue and violet are added tothe brown, it can appear warmer or colder.
The brown colour scheme ranges from light browns, such as ochre, to medium browns ( caramel or nougat) to deep, dark browns reminiscent of dark chocolate.
In addition to soft, light browns such as Brown with Choc, you will also find light earth tones that tend towards beige, such as Grouse by Mylands or Soft Linen by Painting The Past.
If you're looking for a warm and homely brown that you can also use in the living room, our Brown with Terracotta is highly recommended for an accent wall.

Millbank from Mylands is also a soft, warm brown that is appetisingly reminiscent of nougat and can be used on several walls.
Ifyou prefer darker wall paints, the deep and reddish London Brown is a good choice, as is Brown with Dark Chocolate. If you're feeling brave, we have Brownwith Black - a bit like soft black, but also a deep dark brown.
On the other hand, if you' re looking for a wall paint in earthy tones, check outLinen and Pebble from Painting The Past. These are cooler and therefore perfect to combine with aqua tones.

How does brown work as wall paint?
The colour shade brown has a calming and grounding effect. As a colour from nature, brown has a relaxing effect and can be used everywhere. It conveys a sense of security and structure and therefore has a very homely effect. Its restraint makes it unobtrusive and keeps it in the background. As you can see, brown wall paint can be combined in many different ways.
How brown looks in detail, however, depends very much on the prevailing undertones. A brown-grey wall paint has a different effect than a wall in warm earth tones or an accent wall painted with dark brown chalk paint.

While warm brown tones convey security and reliability, cold brown tones can have a more sober effect.

Since brown is calming and thus curbs your creativity, it should not be used in the office or hobby room.
Design one wall in the living room or bedroom with earth tones - for example, a dark, soft brown like Raw Umber or Brown with Dark Chocolate on an accent wall behind the couch. The other walls can be painted in a warm, light colour shade to complete the effect.
In this way, you create an area for relaxation and rest.

Because of the cosy atmosphere that brown tones create, it is also worth considering decorating the children's room in earthy tones. Brown chalk paint, such as Mocha or Calico from Painting the Past, is a good choice.
