Watching Friends years ago I remember thinking how much I liked the brown leather sofa in Central Perk, it's worn and battered appearance somehow making it even more attractive. I think brown is a colour I would always add through anything but walls or curtains. For me, this is a colour that is at it's best when it's left to age and show its inconsistencies - be it in a battered kitchen table top, a gorgeous hide rug (1) or a well-used Louis Vuitton brown suitcase as a nightstand (8), which I think is an inspired idea. Have you used brown in any of your decor schemes?

All I want at the moment is a brown Chesterfield...
ReplyDeletethe vintage LV is fab, fab, fab!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do like to add some brown as well in our ´white´ home. Our best brown piece is a leather butterfly-chair. And even a wall in our daughter´s room is brown, painted with distemper.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures!
I love brown even on walls. I love it paired with orange and gray, but I'm not a fan of blue/brown combo's. I also find that if a room has too much brown it makes me sad. (Love the lightbulb photo.)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about brown leather getting better with age. It seems the more worn and battered the more character a piece has. Ive got a brown leather Hugo Boss filofax that has gone everywhere with me for 5years and for wear and tear it just gets even more beautiful to me.
ReplyDeleteJen - I'd put up a fight for the vintage LV ;)
ReplyDeleteSomething White - Leather butterfly chair sounds stunning. Thanks for stopping by.
Kimberly - The lightbulb photo is so lovely - proper, serious style factor going on!
Alex - yep, aged brown is always the best!
The second-to-last is so great. That chair!
