Wall Paints & Varnishes in Brown & Earth Tones

What shades of brown are there?

As with all colours, there is no one shade of brown. You can use different shades depending on the occasion and room. Whether you want to paint a warm brown that is reminiscent of milk chocolate , a sandy brown for your bathroom or a greyish brown to give your warmly lit living room a sophisticated look - our colour selection gives you all the options.

Which colours belong to the earth tones?

We associate brown with earth and nature. If you want to use brown wall paint and design your home in cosy earthy tones, you can use light brown, sand, chocolate brown or cinnamon brown, for example. Warm earth tones include ochre, orange-brown or beige tonesmixed with red or ochre. There are also cool variants of earth tones. These include cool sand colours and basically any brown with a predominance of grey.

What shades are there?

When you start to explore the colour scheme of brown, you realise how multi-layered this seemingly simple colour shade is. Depending on whether more red and orange or blue and violet are added to the brown, it can appear warmer or colder. The brown colour scheme ranges from light brown tones such as ochre, through medium brown (caramel or nougat) to deep, dark brown, reminiscent of dark chocolate.

In addition to soft, light brown tones such as Brown with Choc, you will also find light earth tones such as Beige with Sand in our colour selection. If you are looking for a warm and cosy brown that you can also use in the living room, our Brown with Terracotta is highly recommended for an accent wall.

If you prefer darker wall paints, the deep and reddish Brown with Dark Chocolate is a good choice. If you're really brave, you can find Brown with Black - a bit like soft black, but also a deep, dark brown.

How does brown work as a wall paint?

The colour shade brown has a calming and grounding effect. As a colour from nature, brown has a relaxing effect and can be used anywhere. It conveys a sense of security and structure and is therefore very cosy. Thanks to its restraint, it is unobtrusive and remains in the background. As you can see, brown wall paints can be combined in many different ways.

However, how brown looks in detail depends very much on the predominant undertones. A brown-grey wall paint has a different effect than a wall in warm earth tones or an accent wall painted with dark brown chalk paints. While warm brown tones convey a sense of security and reliability, cold brown tones can have a more sober effect.

Which rooms are earth tones particularly suitable for?

You can use earth tones in rooms where you want to create a cosy atmosphere. Retreat rooms are particularly suitable for this. If you want to create a cosy feeling in a room, use one of the many earth tones. Brown works well in both living rooms and bedrooms. You can use our wall paints for wallpaper and woodchip wallpaper.

As brown is calming and therefore curbs your creativity, it should not be used in the office or hobby room.
Design a wall in the living room or bedroom with earthy tones - for example, a dark, soft brown such as Brown with Dark Chocolate on an accent wall behind the couch. You can design the other walls in a warm, light colour shade to round off the effect. In this way, you can create an area for relaxation and rest.

Due to the cosy atmosphere that brown tones create, it is also worth considering designing the children's room in earthy tones. Beige-brown chalk paints, such as Beige & Warm from LittlePomp, are a good choice.

Brown varnishes are also perfect for the bathroom. By combining fresh aqua tones with earth tones on the tiles, you can conjure up your own personal oasis of well-being and use one of our velvety matt chalk paints in brown to slow down your entrance area.

Tips on the trend colours: chocolate brown, sand & co.

Precisely because earth tones are so universally applicable, it can be difficult to choose a specific colour. But we can reassure you - brown really is a universal colour!

Living styles and trends in earthy colour shadesn

Just like grey, earthy tones can be used in a wide variety of living styles and are flexible living colours. Whether you are decorating with cool, neutral colours in a boho style, prefer the Scandi style or are going for exotic furnishings in an oriental style - there are no limits to brown and earth tones thanks to their broad colour scheme. Brown even suits eclectic living styles: simply use an intense colour shade such as Orange with Rust or Brown with Terracotta. Paint with the wall paint brown to have a universal colour for your interior design style.

Which colours go well with earth tones?

Basically, all colours go well with earth tones. Other natural colours in particular can be perfectly combined with them. Combine Green with Sage with a wall painted Brown with Nougat to create a cosy, natural atmosphere.

Warm earthy tones such as Brown with Dark Chocolate can be complemented by colours with a touch of red. Freshen up a chest of drawers with the brown shade and paint the wall behind it in Rose with Brown - you're sure to create an elegant effect.

Fresh turquoise and aqua tones together with earth tones also create a special radiance. If the lower tiled area in the bathroom is painted in the cosy Brown with Nougat, use Green with Jade on the upper tiles for the perfect holiday feeling. Round off your oasis with a clear white such as White with Character on the ceiling.

Use a warm earth tone, such as Brown with Terracotta, on one wall and combine it with a bright yellow to create a room atmosphere reminiscent of a sunny day. Alternatively, paint with a warm, light green to emphasise the brown.

Clear white tones are also suitable as a combination. This will prevent it from looking "dirty". Other spice and taupe colours are also ideal. If you stick to natural colour shades in your combinations, you are definitely on the right track.

What can I combine earth tones with?

You can also stick to natural colours when decorating. Wood and natural fabrics such as linen and cashmere or even cotton create a successful atmosphere when combined. Metallic tones such as brass and gold achieve a very exciting and sophisticated effect with the various earth tones.

You can also use green plants to create interesting accents. You can lay a sage green carpet on your floor to create a well-rounded overall impression. Combined with picture frames in light-coloured wood or deep gold as an accent, you can also create an ideal wall design.
