Brown Living room set for your Apartment
Do you want to flaunt a brown living room set in your apartment? Trust me, brown is the new fashion statement for living rooms in the US. 3 out of 10 people ask for brown shades in some or the other form for their living room.
If you want to go brown, why not choose a brown sofa set? After all your sofa set is generally the centre piece of your living room. So choosing a brown option for that is practical.
The sofa set is not only functional furniture. Certainly, it accommodates all guests whenever they visit your house. However, the sofa has aesthetic value also. It makes your living room look comfortable.
So let’s discuss tips and tricks for a brown living room set.
Building your brown living room set
I might have suggested a sofa set for your brown living room set. But there might also be other blown elements. In fact, don’t hesitate if you are planning brown walls for your room. Here we will discuss all possible ideas to paint your living room brown.
A brown leather finish sofa
You are a fan of brown, which means you love earthy tones without doubt. That is why I want to suggest brown leather sofa’s for you. They make your home cosy. At the same time brown leather texture at the luxurious vibe in your room.
In a market survey I found most Americans won’t luxurious yet contemporary designs for their living room. There is an obvious reason behind that. Mostly, living rooms in single apartments are 16 by 14 at best. In some cases, it may go up to 18 by 16. But, not more than that.
So you have to accommodate utility furniture which saved space as well. This is the reason why industrial styles with accent walls have become the most common and popular small living room styling ideas. On the one hand the industrial style and a contemporary feeling the room. On the other hand, the accent wall with white as the basic color makes the room more spacious.
Building your living room design
For a small living room, I cannot imagine adding anything else before including the sofa in it. But I don’t want loud colors in this design. The dark brown was limited for the previous decor Idea only. Instead, I want white walls with textured wallpaper. Beige glossy textures would be fine for the living room. They can define space much more prominently.
Secondly, I want a wooden finish Wall mounting for your TV unit. Remember you don’t have the space to go for a separate TV cabinet.
The wall mounting will make the room steam more spacious without a doubt. It can cut off the extra storage space that you were expecting to come with the TV cabinet. But you can compensate for that with a storage sofa and storage Ottomans. What else do you need?
To top it up go for a stylish looking coffee table. I prefer a coffee table with a brown tint to make my room more elegant.
Best living room colors, you were expecting
A brown living room set will surely have brown as the dominant color. But it is not the only color your room can get. Firstly, I will suggest light pastel as a fusion color with brown here. Your furniture can be brown and pastel in combination. I am thinking of a low sectional sofa with a rust or dark chocolate color.
For the walls I am thinking about white wallpaper with multicolored wall texture. But remember white should be the dominant color in the texture.
There will be a wall mounted TV. Make the Wall mount brown in color. But don’t add a brown carpet for the floor. Instead go for a textured or patterned area rug. For this room a flat rug would look more elegant. Remember the beauty of brown design unveils itself when there are other color pops to break down its monotony.
Brown bed you were looking for
You might wonder- what’s a bed doing in a living room? Well, it is not a bed of the sort you are thinking about. Instead, I am talking about a very functional piece of furniture here. It is called the sofa cum bed. Imagine 5 guests coming to your house without being informed. But you don’t have enough space to accommodate them in your small single apartment.
When something like that happens, this so far will be your savior.
But why am I hooked to the sofa so much? The reason is that a sofa can be the centre piece of your living room easily. And once you install a good sofa you don’t need much more furniture to create the look and feel of the room.
Brown can give your room a contemporary or vintage feel equally. So, choose brown.
Remember the sofa I suggest, does not need to be brown essentially. It might be dark beige also. This color will also create the same hue I would expect from any brown living room set.
Other brown design ideas
Now let’s focus on the other parts of your room. I will start with the walls.
Chocolate chrome walls
Sometime back I was saying that brown walls might not be a good fit for your living room. Firstly, it will make your space seem more limited than it actually is. But that’s not the full reality either.
Last week I was scrolling out the latest trends in furniture. Suddenly I came across a cover page with a room decor Idea having rich chocolate walls. Certainly, I was taken aback, because the room was not a big one as well.
But now I know that brown walls can be really elegant if you can plan the decor properly.
Firstly, register that matte brown is the only option for you. Do not even think about the glossy brown here.
The matter adds a sense of invitation and intimacy. Meanwhile when you combine it with the right elements it will give us a relaxing feel. I expect the chocolate walls to create the ultimate welcoming environment. It will be a perfect retreat when you return home after your day’s work. It will also make your living room stand apart.
Caramel brown armchairs
Do you have a brown armchair in your living room? Whatever the size of your room, this one piece of furniture can make it seem really elegant.
The elegant glossy brown furniture will add character to the room decoration. Meanwhile it is an element of comfort and luxury also.
Other than the sofa, the brown armchairs can be a focal point in the living room. However, I feel that you need a classic or cozy fireplace with the armchair beside it. Maybe a small reading book also.
It is best if the room is slightly bigger. But there are various fireplaces for small living rooms also.
A brown rug
Certainly, a brown rug would be the best option for a brown living room set. But not always. The area rug can be brown if you are creating a brown and contrasting theme for the living room.
We know that rugs do not have very clinical purposes in a living room. Instead, it is an aesthetic element. Hence, we will also use it to add extra tones of tranquility in the living room. The guests can relax gill feet on a flash and velvety rug.
A brown rug can be furry and ultra soft. Meanwhile, a boho or pattern rug would be flatter.
Budget required for setting a Brown living room setting
The cost factor may keep you at bay. But now there’s a brown sofa for every budget. You don’t need to buy the prime one from IKEA or Target.
You can easily buy a wooden thrift sofa from your nearby store. All you need is to change it’s upholstery and outer cloth.
The same will cost you between $50 to $100. Meanwhile, a thrift sofa will cost you under $100. Now coming to walls. To save funds, you can buy brown wallpaper. Amazon sells brown wallpaper tiles starting from $30 per roll. 2 rolls are enough for a 16×14 room.
And why not buy a brown rattan coffee table to save more. All rattan furniture is nude brown. So go for one if you like. Now, coming to brown rugs. In the same vein, brown is one of the most common rug colors. So, you will easily find one under $50.

Secondly, brown themes are quite common in the US. Lastly, there are many decors, designs and themes, built on brown exclusively.
