If by your occupation you are forced to travel a lot, often visit crowded places or communicate with a large number of people, if your house seems to you a quiet and peaceful haven - then our recommendations for decorating a living room in chocolate tones will come in handy.
A little about the color itself. Chocolate color has long been included in the group of "refined" and "respectable" shades. This shade is able to transform any room, bring a sense of coziness and comfort to the interior. Psychologists confirm the positive effect of brown on a person: it soothes, gives a sense of security; an interior with chocolate color helps to make balanced decisions. This color is associated with wood and cinnamon, carries a feeling of warmth and aroma. It is chosen by people who prefer family values.
Do not be afraid that your living room with this color will look dark or gloomy. Think of the restraint of an English club, the coziness of a small coffee shop or the tranquility of a classic office... After all, it is these interiors that carry the color of chocolate. You just need to choose the most "delicious" one from the many shades.
Be sure to determine for yourself the volume of color in the interior. In small rooms, do not overload the living room with a dark shade. "Chocolate" will look good on the floor and furniture, it can also be used on the walls. In spacious rooms, this color is appropriate even on the ceiling. The volume of color in the interior depends more on the area of the room than on its illumination. In bright sunny rooms, this color can dominate over others, it is possible to use dark chocolate walls. In poorly lit rooms, choose lighter shades or reduce the amount of brown in the interior - decorate one of the walls or a niche in chocolate color, and paint the others in light. Dark brown floors and furniture look very respectable, besides, they are not stained and can be complemented by bright accents.
To maintain the interior of the living room in a restrained and calm style, combine chocolate with creamy and beige shades. Walls in sand tones will visually increase the space and compensate for the dark floor. Light textiles will emphasize the warmth of the chocolate shade of the sofa or furniture. Avoid monotony in the color scheme - vary the color of the interior, attract similar shades for some details.
The key point in the design: be sure to dilute the interior with natural shades of blue-green. Turquoise will help to bring elegance to the interior and place accents in your future living room. Turquoise is a chameleon color, it adapts to the environment and is applicable to any style - from classic to art deco. In combination with the chocolate color of the living room, it will bring oriental motifs to the interior. If your living room is dominated by beige, turquoise accents will emphasize and at the same time refresh the elegant classics. Choose a warm and rich shade, use it in any accessories. These can be photo frames and patterns on the walls, pillows, curtains, trinkets or vases.
Having chosen a chocolate tone for your living room, it is important not to “overload” it with this color. Otherwise, you can be sure that the synonyms of your updated living room will be “coziness”, “comfort” and “peace”.
