Get the look: Brown Eclectic

Goodbye grey, hello brown! If you think about it, it does make sense. The colour brown is deeply ingrained in our lives already. It’s the colour of the earth, of beautifully worn leather couches handed down from one generation to another. It's coffee and chocolate. Shades of brown remind us of nature, of materials such as wood and wool. Both cosy and classy, brown shades are tipped to set the tone for how we decorate our homes in the decade to come. Brown is no doubt our new go-to neutral. Here are three ways to get the look with wall art from Desenio.

Tone-on-tone layering.

If you think about brown as just one colour, think again! There’s a whole range of shades to explore in this colour family. Lighter sandy shades blend well with richer chestnuts and chocolates, or add a bit of spice with ochre! Make this trend your own by layering tone-on-tone, choosing art prints that feature the same colours in different saturations. Tone-on-tone is a technique that truly gives personality and depth to a room!

Create a home art gallery.

One of the key characteristics of this trend is mixing different materials and colours, creating an eclectic and personal space. How do we do this? Go all-in on the details! Create a home art gallery with art prints that fit right into this trend. Choose abstract styles in shades of brown and beige and mix in some photo art to make your gallery more personal. Let your art take centre stage!

Think about the framing.

To nail this trend, consider which frames you use for your art prints. We suggest going for wooden frames throughout (we have wooden frames in both black, oak and light wood) and mixing in our gold frames for a bit of added luxury. Black frames create contrast and look great with black-and-white photo art. For a softer feel where your art is the focal point, try a natural wooden frame.
