How brown works in the kitchen
In the kitchen, brown or walnut cabinets give a warm, exclusive look against light stone and brass.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that cabinets and worktops are fixed, so colour comes via walls, details and textiles. 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 kitchen — 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 kitchen and type "repaint the kitchen in brown". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
