In this beautiful home in Inverness, IL, our clients wanted an elegant new traditional look for their open-concept living room and dining room. We landed on a gold and brown living room design that spilled over into the dining room as well for a cohesive look. A mix of textures and finishes in the furnishings and decor also add an elegant, sophisticated aesthetic to this unique space.
Elegant Dark Brown and Gold Living Room Color Scheme
To add depth to this living room design, we incorporated dark wood elements and mixed textures and finishes. The effect is a dark brown and gold living room and dining room with design dimension.
The gold, geometric accent chairs add complexity to the space that contrasts with the simplicity of the cream-colored couch. In a similar way, the curved gold sculpture on the coffee tables contrasts their simple, linear design. The dark wood end tables add another curved element to the design while grounding the space with their depth of color.
In the dining room, the dark wood is pulled through in the dining table, chairs, and hutch. The chairs feature light cream fabric with a subtly shimmering geometric pattern to echo the shimmering gold finishes in the living room. The abstract painting adds visual texture that draws the eye and contrasts the smooth linear shapes of the lamps.
Do Brown and Gold Go Together?
In short, yes! Brown and gold beautifully complement one another thanks to them both being in the same spectrum of the color wheel. In this gold and brown living room, the colors create a cozy, inviting aesthetic with a touch of luxury. The color scheme is ideal for design styles like traditional, new traditional, classical, and neoclassical that all feature dark earthy colors and elements of luxury as key characteristics of the style.
