BROWN IS INTIMATE
Social shifts and the desire to leave a smaller ecological footprint have promoted the sale and renovation of older homes, allowing for the reimagining of privacy for a new generation.
At home with open floor plans, this generation’s introduction to small, intimate spaces feels new. Rooms such as the den and library now create cozy home sanctuaries. Traditionally adorned with wood, these rooms embrace the occupant with the soothing effect of an authentic, natural setting adorned with warm brown accents.

BROWN ANCHORS REVIVAL AND RENEWAL
The popularity of incorporating retro and vintage furnishings, patterns, and décor has become a way to honor heritage yet give it a more modern, personal touch. This trend also provides a tangible link to the pride of heritage and craftsmanship. Today’s passion for sixties and seventies décor pulls in retro reproductions, vintage furniture, and nature-inspired products, all using rich, grounding brown as their anchor.

BROWN CONVEYS LUXURY
Inspired by the recent reemergence of Art Deco aesthetics, the current trend of Dark Academia moves core components into saturated monochromatic color and opulent texture. When coupled with light earth tones, a more balanced, romantic version emerges that is warm and welcoming. Classic brown is the perfect neutral to anchor bold color and soften the hard edges of contemporary, lending credibility to its affluence with a history centered in the finest traditional interiors.
