Brown doesn’t have to be boring if you go for a monochromatic look. This living room has various shades of brown that look oh so yummy together like mochas and caramel.

These furniture pieces are all a similar brown shade which help to make the other colors stand out. Plus the deep royal blue complements the lovely browns.
