Warm Brown, Cool Brown, and Wood Brown – What’s the Difference?

主流设计世界的大部分已经变得如此enamored with grayas the neutral of the moment that brown has become somewhat set aside. We want to (re)introduce you to brown as a wonderful, beautiful color and a critical part of many home designs. We’re going to look brown in three primary decorating categories – warm browns, cool browns, and wood browns – and discuss the basics of each. Ultimately, we hope you fall in love with this essential color. Why essential? Because it’s the color of chocolate, of course! (Check out our in-depth study of specific棕色阴影, 也。)

Warm Browns

Inherently, particularly these days when gray has taken such a forefront as interior design’s Neutral Go To, brown is considered a warm hue. That simply means that it incorporates warmer colors (red, orange, yellow) as its base. This sofa is an extremeversion of a warm brown– it’s almost gold, in fact. The warmth of the coffee tables coordinates nicely for a consistency in palette temperature.

The net effect of a warm brown is a friendly, welcoming, and/or energizing aesthetic. The eye is immediately drawn to the warm patchwork wall in this space, and the milk chocolate brown rectangle right in the center. From here, other warm browns are peppered throughout the room tastefully to give energy into this otherwise neutral绿草y living room.

Warm browns that are part of an animal skin, such as this牛皮覆盖的椅子,天生有机和泥土。黑色的皮革支撑头枕肯定会升起这座椅子的现代风格。这两个元素似乎比例优美,结合在一起。(如果您想象像这样的椅子在内饰中带有凉爽的棕色,而不是那里的温暖的棕色和白色,那么效果就会少得多。)

A favorite timeless version of warm brown is caramel. Its smooth buttery hue just kind of sucks you in – and you want to let it. Whether the color is used on a pillow, a chair, a piece of art, or the wall, that caramel/camel brown is one of the friendliest and most welcoming of them all.

Cool Browns

当您想到什么使颜色具有“凉爽”的温度时,请想到灰色或蓝色旁边的颜色。如果底色似乎匹配,那么它可能是该特定颜色的很酷的版本。棕色本质上是一种温暖的颜色,因为它的基部为黄色/橙色。但是,有很多凉爽的棕色色调在寻求平静美学的空间中很好地工作。

Even a brown that appears to be reddish, such as this brick-brown chair, can be on the cooler end of the brown spectrum. Notice how this chair appears relatively muted and calm? That is because the brown leans more heavily toward blue than it does toward yellow in undertone.

凉爽的棕色,它们的灰色氛围通常看起来很好,在调色板涉及凉爽的灰色和蓝色的房间中。总体而言,房间并不缺少颜色,但颜色都是宁静的,放松的氛围,它们从凉爽的颜色中散发出来。请注意,该空间中棕色的深度(光到黑色)如何变化,但底色仍然相似。

Enhance the cool temperature of a cool brown by incorporating it into a speckled sort of textural pattern. The pattern feels organic, while the color feels calming. Basically, you’ve just incorporated a bit of driftwood – and all the glorious relaxing coastal appeal – into your contemporary space. Well done.

木褐色

While warm and cool browns are lovely to look at, contemplate, and use, there’s something decidedly different about brown as a general color and the brown that is wood. Dark or light, warm or cool, wood browns are virtually unbeatable when it达到中立, accent, grounding a space, defining a space, you name it. They are an integral part of many successful interiors.

以“瀑布”形式设计的木凳是简单,最小和现代的。线条不能更干净,但是木褐色为鲜明的,以功能的功能鲜艳的作品具有很大的缺乏。与时尚,苗条的餐桌配对,使这个相对矮胖的木棕色长凳不受现代吸引力的损害。

When the lightness and darkness is varied, whole rooms done in wood browns can look as fresh and modern as any other room. I point this out only because wood paneling has gotten a bad rap over the years as being only for Man Caves or appropriate for dens or dark basements. Not true! When the tints and shades are varied and placed strategically within the wood brown design, the overall effect is warm and welcoming.

您根本无法轻易复制的木棕色特征是它的完美不完美和个性。没有两个木晶粒相同。每棵树的生长和移动都是独特的,这意味着您将木褐色纳入设计也将是独特的。拥抱棕色木块的“缺陷”,并将其变成焦点。
