The countless possibilities of brown carpet

Brown tones are warm and give us a sense of security. They bring out in us the desire to be surrounded by natural things; we often associate brown colours with woody and earthy materials. Brown interior elements remind us of the earth, are soothing, reliable and conservative. In general, we feel at home in a brown interior. Light browns bring warmth and calm to a colourful environment. Dark variants, on the other hand, remind us more of natural materials and are more suitable for a warmer and more comforting environment.

Just because brown is a natural colour, it is easy to combine with other colours. Dark, chocolate brown tones are increasingly finding their way into our interiors: in our furniture, walls and floors. Such colours go well with more subtle beige or cream colours, and can even look good in combination with dusky pink.

Brown is a good choice for your carpet. A brown or metallic carpet radiates richness and because the colour is so versatile, you are not limited in your choice of colour for other interior elements. The Metallic Shades collection from DESSO, for example, allows you to achieve a brilliant and subtle colour or can be combined for stronger contrasts.

A brown or metallic carpet can be combined very nicely with wooden panelled walls or textured wallpaper. Also with regard to furniture, a brown coloured carpet allows you to be free in your choice. Contrasting a heavier rug with lighter colours and fabrics is a good idea. By using curtains with a bright, light colour, your interior retains a fresh feeling and a metallic carpet comes into its own.
