Brown kids' room: how to decorate

Brown is back — chocolate, cinnamon and caramel bring depth, warmth and luxury. It's the new neutral for anyone who finds beige too timid.

How brown works in the kids' room

In the kids' room, warm browns work as a cosy, gender-neutral base against light accents.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: playful without the chaos — muted tones last longer. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with brown

Brown loves cream, off-white, beige and rust; a muted green or brass lifts it. Layer several browns for depth.

Materials and details

Leather, velvet, wood and linen are brown at its best; mix textures so it reads rich, not heavy.

The most common mistake

Running a single dark brown in a small room — it turns cave-like. Layer light and dark brown against bright surfaces.

See brown in the kids' room — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the kids' room and type "repaint the kids' room in brown". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
