People often forget about brown when they’re planning their interior design colour schemes. But this fabulous earthy tone boasts a calming quality that has helped it make something of a comeback recently.

Brown can seamlessly add a natural vibe to any room. There are some gorgeous modern colour pairings too. A few bold brown features in an otherwise monochrome colour scheme has become a big design trend. Lighter tones of brown, on the other hand, work well with subtle patterned wallpaper.

And let’s not forget – if you’re into your retro styling – brown was huge in the 1970s. Darker browns with accent colours like orange or teal can work wonders for that retro feel. Try switching the orange and teal for vibrant yellows and blues to utilise brown with a modern twist.

At Premier Lampshades, we love pairing a striking colour with a great design. It makes the room come alive. Our collection of bronze, coffee and chocolate tones can do just that. So make sure you read on to see 8 of our best brown lampshades.
