Beige, Brown, & Green Living Room

As earth tones, beige, brown and green work well together. Use these colors to draw the outdoors inside and make your decor feel like a day at the park or a walk in the woods.

Decorating with green furniture can change the entire vibe of the room. In the photo above, a light-colored space with large windows and white walls gets a touch of color and visual interest from green couches while a light beige rug adds textural interest and prevents the colors from overwhelming the space.

The dark wood tables add depth to bright, fresh green and beige decor. A soft, natural shade of green, like sage, olive or moss, pairs well with wood tones. Topping off your nature-inspired decor with plants or landscape wall art completes the look.

Use beige and brown living room decor without becoming too monochrome by adding bright accent pieces. Try decorating with green living room decor if your space is more neutral. The moss green bowl, patterned lamp and wall art add pops of color while blending with the existing furniture.

White walls and furniture give coastal and tropical decor a bright, fresh look. However, they can get a little boring without some accent colors. To choose your palette, consider pulling hues from pillows, artwork or furniture.

For example, this room uses the same sage green and seafoam blue from the couch's pillows to inspire the colorful choice of lamps and area rug. The medium brown color of the sofa's wood accents matches the table set and picture frames, grounding the space and pulling the whole room together.

Dark leather sofas are a common seating option, especially in a versatile, neutral color like brown. While these pieces can suit many types of decor, lighter or brighter colored accents lend the space more vibrancy. The room pictured above utilizes layering with subtle tones of beige and strategic pops of green adding visual interest to the leather furniture and brown living room decor.

Sectionals occupy a lot of space in living rooms, so most often the color of the couch is the dominant hue in the room. If your sectional is deep brown, use lighter colored beige or green decor, like accent pillows, tables, vases and rugs, to open up your space.

Decorating with green plants in darker spaces is another designer trick. Not only do they work as decor and match your accent color, but they also bring life to your space by pulling nature indoors for urban dwellers.

Consider Earth Tones

Decorating your living room with beige, brown and green is a great way to pay tribute to your ecofriendly lifestyle or love of the outdoors. These warm and forgiving neutrals blend together seamlessly and suit any decor style. Use nature as your inspiration for simple and elegant designs with this easy color combination.
