Get inspired with our brown and blue living room ideas

There are some people that are scared of using blue in their color palette. It is a color that can go wrong…and when it does, it really goes wrong. You can see why people are fearful of dipping their toe into the blue color palette, especially when you try and match it to brown shades. However, when done right, you can end up with a wonderfully rich and dynamic space that really delivers a wow factor. In this post, we will show you brown and blue living room ideas that deliver on style and comfort.

When it comes to browns and blues, they are probably the two colors that represent the world around us. The blue of the sky and the brown representing nature. It is a color combination we see everywhere, whether to pay attention or not. Combining the blue and brown can be a compelling combination, a room that delivers so much calmness and warmth. Indeed, the richness that you can achieve is found in very few other color combinations.

The key when combining blue and brown living room decor, is to find tones with a complementary color. When this is not done, the results can be disastrous. Getting the tone right is imperative, especially when you consider other factors like the TV wall color . This is why i always recommend that you put together a project board. This will allow you to test ideas without committing to the color scheme. It limits your risk and potentially saves you plenty of time and money.

So, lets work through some of the photos below to identify what works and the reasons why. You will see brown and blue living room ideas that work. The color combination might be is the paint, but in most cases it is accentuated in the accessories. This is a very balanced approach to delivering color combinations.

Frequently asked questions

Does blue and brown go together in a living room?

They work wonderfully well together as long as there is balance. The shade and tones of the colors need to match. As you can see in the images above, if the colors are a pastel shade…like beige walls…they work well. If the colors are deep and rich, both colors need to deliver the same. Consider using an accent wall as the starting point, a brown wall as an accent color with blue furniture is a great look. Your living room color scheme is something that needs plenty of thought. Consider leaving some white walls as a neutral color to break up the space, or even adding a gray wall colour too.

Does blue go with brown furniture?

As I have already discussed, blue is the perfect accompaniment to brown. So, if you have a chocolate brown sofa, consider using a blue wall color to balance it. As you have seen in some of the images above, it is a great combination. A brown couch is very common, a paint color with blue walls are not as common. It involves a little risk, but a little bravery can give you a great finish. This also applies to soft furnishings too. Accessories like a throw pillow, rug or curtains, work well with blue accents, regardless of the material, whether it is brown leather sofa, velvet or simply cotton.

Does navy blue go with dark brown furniture?

Dark blue and brown is an excellent color combination that delivers great results. It gives off a very opulent vibe that is rich and full of depth. If you opt for a lighter shade, the combination color needs to compliment it.
