There's more to brown than meets the eye. Here are some tips for decorating with different shades of brown:

Medium brown

Medium brown is a middle neutral while still having really deep, rich undertones. Use this colour as an additional neutral in nearly any space. It is a perfect colour for “layering” in which it can be paired with light and bright colours such as white and cream as well as soft pastels such as power blue, soft pink or mint green.

Deep brown

Many deep browns are ideal for those looking for neutrality, but desire a brown that is not too dark or too light. This shade of brown has warm undertones and can be paired with fire colours such as orange, yellow and red.

Dark brown

Dark browns serve as the ideal alternative to black, especially for those looking to incorporate other brown pieces into a space such as wood. Use dark brown as a contrast colour. This shade of brown pairs well with white as well as citrus colours such as yellow and green. A designer’s favourite is to pair this deep, smoky colour with pale-coloured woods such as birch, oak, maple or ash. – Tribune News Service
