9 ways to make your brown sofa stand out.

How do you style a space with a brown sofa without it feeling like a man cave? For many months, I have been wanting to switch up my grey sectional for a brown sofa but I had no idea on how to style it. I used to think brown furniture was always boring, tired and out dated. Well that changed when I came across Lexi Westergard’s Instagram page. She has paired her brown sofa with colorful throw pillows in a well-lit room and every detail about the space brightens up so well.

I have pulled some images of rooms that will prove brown doesn’t have to be boring or basic. After seeing these images, you will be looking at your sofa in a new way. Let’s do this!

Brown is a neutral color, so it works with just about any other color.

Add in accents like area rugs, throw pillows and accessories to add desirable contrast in the room.

Leather adds great texture, softness and color to a room.

Do you notice green is a common denominator in most spaces with brown? It goes with anything and illuminates everything around it.

White walls and wooden floors work well with brown sofas such as the one in the above picture.

The floral rug and throw pillows give life to the sofa.

I love the poster above the couch; I’d have this in my house. It can be challenging styling a large brown sofa but the accessories and throw pillows break up all the dark leather in the above space.
