Why do I love brown so much? Well, first off, it’s a great grounding color and fits right in with the Holistic Color approach. Brown goes with so many if not all colors which makes it the perfect neutral and not as stark and lifeless as black. It’s warm, inviting and strong. These are all good principles. for the home. Let’s see how they’d look in the home.
There are so many variations of brown from yellow browns to a red browns. Again, it’s all about the undertones. There is a brown for everyone! Have a look.

Brown with creamy melt-ins to brighten up! Looks pretty warm and cozy
Creamy melt-ins! Oh that sounds yummy – I may have to borrow that to promote this post on facebook 🙂
Hi Donna, I think brown is pretty alive and well in our Southern interiors. I am still seeing a lot of folks enjoying the Tuscan feel of comfortable and cozy brown. Many families enjoy that it is such a low-maintenance furnishings color when you have children and pets and want to have a warm and inviting home. Plus, it is so easy to brighten up with lively accessories. I don’t think it is going away anytime soon!
I sure hope so! And you brought up a great point about kids and pets. Many Designers design homes to make it look all fancy schmancy but it’s really not practical for “real” families who live. Some have fancy yellow sofas – who’ll want to sit on that with the big house dog? Oh and you just gave me a great idea for my next blog – thanks!
