It's probably because I quit caffeine cold turkey almost two months ago, but I've developed a new found love for coffee colors and I'm inspired to being incorporating them into decorating patterns more and more.
There is just such a rich depth to deep brown, or mocha browns, or even heavily saturated creamy browns. It speaks to the earth and carries a soothing level of comfort that is so important in a home environment. Layering different shades of coffee brown together in a home gives you more warmth and depth and is wonderfully neutral.
But using a very neutral and complementary color like brown, you are giving yourself a whole slew of accessorizing options. A brown background lets bright colors pop and take center stage, even when only a little color is added to the room. Lime greens, bright oranges, toasty reds, cool aquamarines, and clean whites all work beautifully with a neutral brown decor base.
Turn to your favorite flavor of coffee and spend a few minutes staring into its depths to come up with your own decorating inspiration.
