About the character and properties of brown color
those around us have a huge impact on our well-being, mood, desires and even appetite. With color it is possible to form an idea of the beauty of objects, focus attention on certain details and hide what you would like to fade into the background.
Like all natural colors, brown has a beneficial effect on human physiology in general. Evoking associations with the soil of the earth, tree bark, such products as fresh bread, cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla, creme brulee, caramel, nuts, it will undoubtedly take its rightful place in the kitchen interior.
When creating an interior, remember that comfortable living and a healthy psychological climate for the family directly depend on the color design of the apartment.
The kitchen, as a place intended primarily for eating, is the subject of detailed study and clear planning of color schemes. After all, if someone’s goal is to lose weight, then they should not use shades that increase the desire to eat. Conversely, there are people who suffer from poor appetite and, on the contrary, need to stimulate it, creating favorable conditions for this through visual influence.
Brown color has a relaxing effect on the human nervous system, creating a cozy, calm atmosphere, and at the same time does not cause drowsiness; on the contrary, it increases mental and physical performance.
For green furniture
Green or light green is a win-win option for kitchen furniture, as the color is soothing and inviting. The “plus” of green is that it can be combined with almost any other color. The main condition: the couple must be in harmony in tone.
So, if you have furniture in warm shades of green: grassy, olive, light green, then you should choose orange, yellow, burgundy or rich beige wallpaper. A good addition to such combinations would be brown accessories or materials that imitate natural wood.
Light green furniture will become the dominant feature in the interior. It requires a neutral background, so it is better to choose plain white, milky, beige, or cream wallpaper. And the color balance will be supported by light green accessories: a border on a tablecloth, a pattern on light curtains, a lamp or dishes.
You can pair moss or olive-colored wallpaper with light green facades. But be sure to balance out the pair with pops of white. Light green furniture will look organic against a background of light, natural shades: brown, pink, blue, sand. Light green categorically does not accept proximity to lilac and violet.
Cold shades of green (with an admixture of blue, gray or cyan): mint, turquoise, pine, emerald harmonize with cold colors - blue, cobalt, steel, boiling white.
Green and brown kitchen
A green-brown kitchen is the best way to relieve fatigue and tension after a working day. A green-brown kitchen is an excellent choice for fans of the Provence style. These colors have a calming effect on the psyche, as they evoke pleasant images of a dense and shady summer forest.
Brown trunks and green tree crowns - what could be more harmonious than color combinations created by nature itself? It is not surprising that on the basis of this color combination you can build an ideal interior in the Provence style.
This popular French interior style is loved by many of our fellow citizens for its special style and charm. Southern motifs and evergreen fields inspired the founders of this style. In this context, olive color looks especially impressive with brown shades; it evokes images of hot summer and an olive grove.
Combination ideas
- The very phenomenon of combinatoriality came to the world of design from mathematics.
- This term means nothing more than the number of combinations or any outcomes.
- If we project this concept in this area, it means that brown is completely undemanding and can be combined with all types of decor and other colors.
- This was partially described in the “Versatility” paragraph.
But it is quite a significant advantage and deserves separate consideration.
Kitchen in beige and brown tones
This color tandem is widely popular in the interior. On the one hand, the practicality and nobility of brown, on the other, the light and comfort of a beige companion. These warm, congenial colors softly shade and complement each other perfectly.
A beige-brown kitchen is practical to use; in a room with this color design there will always be a good appetite, because the colors of caramel, chocolate and vanilla evoke corresponding associations. A brown-beige kitchen set will serve as an excellent basis for creating a chic interior in any style.
If you correctly place color accents and select suitable shapes for beige, a wide field opens up for experiments in such popular directions as Provence, shabby chic and country style. It all depends on what your specific color preferences are. Based on them, you can choose shades in a warmer or cooler range of beige.
Warm colors include beige-pink, beige-green, beige-orange, peach color and some other combinations. From year to year, experienced designers and colorists are inspired by the breadth of brown and beige tones.
In the cosmetics industry, the clothing industry and of course in interior design and other areas of fashion, different names for shades of beige and brown are used. The tendency to reveal brown and beige tones in the form of a coffee and chocolate theme has long gained mass popularity.
The names of various fashionable drinks, the main ingredient of which is coffee, instantly appeared in kitchen set catalogs: mocha, café au lait, latte, cocoa, ice cream, cappuccino and many others. This advertising gimmick works great. It is intended to encourage the interior designer, furniture maker and buyer to direct their attention to the appetizing names.
Subtleties of floor and wall design
The floor of the kitchen space must withstand constant mechanical stress, high humidity and be easy to clean. As a rule, ceramics, tiles or natural stone are used if the owners’ budget allows. However, laying a plank floor is quite acceptable, for example, in country or loft style.
When deciding what wallpaper will suit a brown kitchen, keep in mind that they are rarely exactly brown. Usually a palette of light shades is used - from white to beige. Wallpaper for a brown kitchen should be selected in contrast with the facade and with the ability to easily remove dirt.
Briefly about taupe kitchen
Brown and gray colors create a harmonious, strict combination. A gray-brown kitchen is the choice of a practical person who prefers impeccable style and comfort. The duet of gray and brown sounds elegant and expensive if you choose the right tonal relationships. These colors are designed to balance each other.
The predominance of cool light gray over the warm brown shade of milk chocolate will give the interior space and at the same time a cozy, stress-relieving atmosphere.
It would be appropriate to add bright, contrasting accents in the form of, for example, posters or paintings. Of the textures in such an interior, gray stone and golden brown wood will work well together. For variety, you can add metal and glass elements.
+ white
The most popular combination, which, depending on the percentage of colors in the interior, can be quite multifaceted. Calms, has a calming effect and promotes psychological balance.
Quite often this duet is diluted with gray. There are no sharp color contrasts here, so the result is a very restrained, calm and elegant kitchen interior.
Most often, the white-brown duo can be found in classic interiors.

If you dilute the white and brown palette with accents in other colors, this will make the design even more interesting and give it a piquant touch.
It is better to decorate most of the space in white. This will help visually lighten the room and make it feel more spacious.
Features of brown kitchen
The design of a brown kitchen should be thought through to the smallest detail. All interior elements, such as curtains and furniture upholstery, kitchen facades, the color of wallpaper and floor finishes, lighting and lighting fixtures, should seem to form some kind of unified ensemble in color and style. Kitchens in brown colors can be combined with elements in shades of chestnut, cognac, brick, yew, coffee, cinnamon, cocoa bean, brass or barley.
It’s easy to get lost in this variety and make the wrong choice, especially since for an excellent result of all finishing work, you should take into account the lighting factor, the size of the room, and the personal style preferences of the owner of the room. After all, if in a small six-meter kitchen we use the maximum of chestnut shades, the room will visually become smaller, and in addition to poor lighting, we will end up with a tiny kennel.
Based on these premises, the interior of a brown kitchen should be diluted with companion flowers. A good companion to brown is the color of caramel, as it is a transitional color to yellow.
Complement these two colors with a shade of azure or red pepper, and you will get a lively, multifaceted, but at the same time calm interior.
A kitchen in brown tones is perfectly complemented by orange shades. Brown in a duet with orange gives a wide range of design ideas. The orange-brown combination is reminiscent of a riot of autumn colors, bright, warm, special. The third color will be superfluous here, but it’s worth diversifying the interior picture with the presence of different shades. They go well with the brown-orange colors of peach and apricot, which can be diluted with milky shades.
For red furniture
Bright kitchen furniture with glossy fronts will look best in a spacious kitchen or in an apartment with a studio layout. Such furniture immediately becomes the dominant feature around which the rest of the interior is built.
A juicy red shade for the set (scarlet, carmine, red, crimson) is highly not recommended for a small kitchen. The abundance of red in a tight space leads to rapid fatigue, irritates and can even cause aggression. The optimal solution: a set of calm, muted shades of red - terracotta, burgundy, garnet, coral, cherry.
Since the red set will play the main role, it is better to choose a neutral background color for the wallpaper. White, cream, light wood, ivory, and gray wallpapers are perfect.
Red and black kitchens create a dramatic effect. Black wallpaper for a red headset is a bold decision. The kitchen turns out to be dynamic and hyperbolic. It is better to stick to modern styles.
The combination of red and black will balance white well. For example, white wallpaper with a black graphic pattern is an ideal choice for a red kitchen in a high-tech or minimalist style.
Brown kitchen interior elements
If for some reason you were unable to purchase a brown kitchen set and in general completely different colors predominate in your kitchen, but you are a fan of this noble color, then you should not deny yourself a little.
There is nothing stopping you from adding brown elements to your interior, because the brown color itself is natural and discreet, and with the right combination it will only add contrast and charm to the room.
This could be, for example, brown wallpaper in the kitchen or a kitchen with a brown countertop. It should be remembered that wallpaper that is too dark visually makes the room smaller.
Choose lighter shades such as brown-beige. Chocolate-colored walls will contrast effectively with the light facades of the set.
Brown curtains for the kitchen will also help satisfy the taste preferences of a lover of chocolate shades. It will not be difficult to fit brown curtains into the interior, because they do not attract much attention, but will serve as a backdrop for brighter accent spots.
Lunch group
The table and chairs in the dining room should repeat the shades of the kitchen in order to look harmonious and the interior is combined into one composition. Solid dark chairs are practical, especially if they are complemented by soft upholstery. Most often, brown furniture is made of the same type of wood as the kitchen itself, and the table repeats their texture and materials.
Table made of the same material as the work area
Furniture in the dining area in the color of the white facades will also be appropriate, but not so practical in everyday life. According to the designers' recommendations, the countertops of the working and dining areas should match in shade and texture. Glass is used for the table if this material is present in the decoration or decor.
