The Perfect Shades of Brown for Walls

-->
We’re on a bit of a paint kick if you can’t tell by the title! But painting a space is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to give it an entirely new life. I feel like brown tones get a bad wrap for coming across as dated, and yes, that can be true. But thankfully, I’ve rounded up some modern browns that are anything but dated.

Latte is a lovely rich, warm medium brown. Painting your space this color will almost immediately make you want to curl up with a book and get cozy.

Balanced Beige is a light brown that serves as a great backdrop. It is very soft so it is perfect for a calm and soothing space. As you can see from the picture above it works well with both warm and cool colors.


Virtual Taupe

Virtual Taupe a deeper brown with more of a gray undertone, and sometimes can even pick up green depending on the lighting. Although it is dark, because of its cool undertone, it doesn’t take over the space. Yes, it makes a statement, there is no denying that, but it makes the right one.
