Winter Inspiration: The Color Brown in Interiors and Fashion

The color brown in Interiors as well as in Fashion has always been a favorite of mine.  It’s the perfect balance between the power of black and lighter tones.  It’s a color that is found in nature as often as green.  Brown comes in many different tones and it can be combined with softer tones to create more feminine spaces.  I love to combine brown with blues and softer pinks such as taupe.  Rooms with brown walls are cozy and glomorus at the same time and when paired with other softer tones can act as even as neutral a color as grey and beige.

Below, some images of browns that I’m loving late.

Fridays are already an institution in this blog.   The day where posts are more relaxed aiming to set the minds of its readers to a hassle-free weekend.  That’s the place where everybody can let life just roll.  Easier said than done, right?  Wouldn’t life be perfect if there were a thought-controlling-bottom that we can turn on and off whenever we want!  While we wait on that magic pill, let’s all thank Instagram and Pinterest for their substitution power!  Have an inspiring weekend!
