Brown and blue are both classic and traditional colors that work well in a variety of spaces and places. They can provide cool tones and a calming ambiance or can add a jolt of energy and color to a room. Either way, when used together, these colors can be highly successful. Below, I’ve gathered several rooms that incorporate these colors especially well from a striped kid’s room to a colorful urban kitchen. Check them out below, and you’ll see what I mean.

This home office has great design appeal for many reasons. First, it works well with many tastes, as elements like the light fixtures are true hallmarks of classic design. Next, the cool tones in the room including the blue wall create a soothing effect. Lastly, the rich brown desk grounds the space. Oh, and you can’t forget about the incredible exposed beams that finish off the room.

This eclectic urban kitchen is bright, fun, and happy. A large part of that ambiance comes from the colorful tile on the walls, which incorporate brown, blue, and several other neutral tones. The blue accessories like the pitcher and chair help to add color to the room, while the brown cabinets help bring out the brown tones in the tile.

This contemporary bathroom features an incredibly unique blue sink that sits atop the rich, dark wood vanity like a crisp, blue flower. There is also a wood accent wall that the mirror hangs on, which allows the bright blue sink to pop off of it. Other accessories in the room complement this color combination as well like the blue towels and blue vase.{picture from here}.
