A mix of orange and blue or red and green forms a rich brown color with a variety of interesting shades: chocolate, coffee, caramel, sand, copper, ocher and a number of other stunningly beautiful tones. His preference for classic design is due to the emission of calm yet strong energy. It contains hidden symbolism and a wide range of associations. This is due to the natural origin of the brown pigment that prevails in the color of plants and soil. Such earthiness gives a feeling of stability and a generally velvety sensation of perception. In addition, the chocolate-cream color scheme is subconsciously identified with refuge and comfort and promotes concentration.
These are strong arguments for wenge’s monopoly in offices with wood panels, massive furniture and leather chairs. At the same time, it is self-sufficient and does not require intricate models such as lambrequins or multi-layer fabrics for draping. Smoothly flowing canvases stylishly emphasize the solid interior and high-quality finishing of the room. The problem of appropriateness of decor is solved by tiebacks with gold tassels, while simultaneously defining status and introducing warmth into a business environment.
In addition to the conservative design of cabinets, fashion trends suggest these shades for use in home design. Practical colors will perfectly decorate any room. The calm palette of brown provides visual neutrality and serves as an ideal backdrop for creativity. Since reed in all its manifestations is actively involved by nature, creating an interior from wood and natural decorative items will not be difficult. To this set it is worth adding plants in a tub, and the chocolate-beige curtains will organically merge with the overall background.
Key Features
From a psychological point of view, this tone of beige does not have a negative effect on the psyche, does not cause feelings of drowsiness, irritation or sadness. In the kitchen, where cappuccino is the basis of the design, you can relax after a hard day. The color of coffee with milk always looks noble and elegant; in the photo below you can see examples of kitchen interiors in different styles.
Important! Cappuccino visually expands the space, so to create a beautiful design for spacious rooms, it is better to combine it with dark colors to make them look more comfortable.
When choosing the color of coffee with milk for your kitchen interior, you should consider a number of its features:
Coffee with milk is universal and suitable for almost any kitchen interior. In addition to discreet classics, such a range would be appropriate in a kitchen in the styles of eco, Provence, country, hi-tech, minimalism, etc. All that remains is to decide on additional tones and select accessories characteristic of the chosen style.
The set, as well as finishing materials for the kitchen in cappuccino color with or without gloss, are made from all available materials from plastic to natural wood. A variety of coffee-colored furniture models and finishes make it easy to find everything you need to create a new kitchen interior.
A modern interpretation of brown
It is clear that Victorian style or Biedermeier style cannot be complete without cappuccino, hot chocolate or black tea. The colors of caramel and baked milk are complemented by country and Provence. The worship of nature and passion for natural content corresponds to the conceptual ideas of Japanese design and ethnic trends. It's surprising that the color of Coca-Cola is used in the monotonous space of today's interiors.
It would seem that cozy color a priori has no place in cold minimalist solutions. It seems that designers have a different opinion on this matter. They proved with examples how appropriate the brown drapery of the windows is in the sad facelessness of the walls, correctly placing color accents.
The best way to diversify a modest palette is with translucent fabric textures in cinnamon, copper or ocher colors. In solidarity with the yellow cornice, they are able to highlight the golden highlights of the redhead and reflect them with a light shadow on a light plane. Accompanying attributes will help them express themselves, for example, “bronze” plant pots and picture frames. And if there are a lot of photographs in the room and there is good-quality furniture, curtains of rough linen on a wooden or wrought-iron cornice will complete the stylistic idea.
Successful combinations
- Coffee walls go well with shades of brown, as well as golden tones, straw beige;
- To dilute the monotony of the color of coffee with milk, you can choose additional bright colors: red, bright yellow, lime, green, orange;
- Combination with different shades of green is one of the most suitable and natural options;
- The delicate color of coffee with cream looks perfect with pink, especially pastel tones;
- Glossy cappuccino-colored surfaces in the kitchen harmonize with complex shades, such as tiffany, salmon or orange.
Universal combinations for coffee colors in the kitchen interior are white, black and gray. However, when choosing any of these colors, you should take care of bright elements in the design.
Curtains and wallpaper with patterns
If the walls in the room are decorated with patterned wallpaper, choosing curtains for window decoration is a little difficult. Indeed, in this case, you have to take into account the texture and pattern, in addition, from several shades it is necessary to determine the predominant color, in the tone of which the curtains are selected.
The easiest way is to buy plain curtains that match the color of the wallpaper. If you want to decorate a window opening with patterned fabrics, then you need to be able to correctly combine the pattern and the pattern printed on the wallpaper.
- Vertical stripe. Walls covered with vertical striped wallpaper visually increase the height of the ceiling. In order not to nullify this effect, you need to select striped or checkered curtains.
- Large pattern. For a wall covering with a large pattern, it is better to choose plain curtains or textiles with a barely noticeable similar pattern. It’s good if the pattern on the curtains repeats the pattern on the wall.
- Flowers. The selection of curtains for wallpaper decorated with flowers depends on the size and expressiveness of the design elements. If the flowers are small and not too bright, then you can use fabrics with a floral arrangement for curtains. Otherwise, it is better to choose curtains with vertical stripes, the color matching the general background of the wall.
- Under wallpaper with abstract patterns, curtains made from non-standard fabrics with shimmer or embroidery of any symbols would be appropriate.
A window composition that harmoniously fits into the overall design not only creates a cozy homely atmosphere in the room, but also demonstrates the artistic taste of the owner. Therefore, before choosing curtains, you need to take a close look at the design of the room and correctly combine the fabric with wallpaper in color and pattern.
Brown color is an absolute classic in interior design of any format, be it a study with a conservative setting or a living room in a trendy Scandinavian style. All of its shades belong to a warm palette, with the exception of a few ashy tones.
Thanks to this conditional limitation on warmth, it will be easy to choose curtains for a room with brown walls.

Finish options
Walls
In small kitchens, you can choose walls of a lighter shade; in this case, the furniture should be a little darker, for example, chocolate. This setting is reminiscent of a French cafe, where you can comfortably sit with friends over a cup of coffee.
Floor
Ceiling
In the kitchen interior, cappuccino is used not only for finishing surfaces and furniture facades with gloss; doorways are decorated in the same range. The color of the opening and the floor covering can completely match, which is the most common option - this creates a single design. Also, the door frame and the door itself can echo the walls, decorative elements or furniture.
To make the doors visually lighter, you should choose models with glass inserts. In this case, the texture can be any - gloss, frosted glass, ornament, etc. The doors will not blend into the interior of the kitchen if you choose a color for them that is different from the set.
Kitchen makeover
Kitchens made in coffee shades are suitable for family people who like to spend time with their family in coziness and comfort. Choosing such a design for the kitchen is quite simple. To decorate the walls, you should choose wallpaper of different coffee tones, and against their background, a kitchen set made from dark wood species can stand out cost-effectively. You can also pick up various accessories in the coffee palette there. You can also use your imagination in the design of walls, windows, and tiles for finishing the work area. It will look very interesting and stylish if you place an image of a steaming cup of coffee on one of the walls. And you can add sophistication to such a kitchen with the help of appropriate decorative items. Various glass jars filled with coffee beans, as well as a coffee tree, will look just perfect. Photos of such decors can be found on the Internet and you can draw inspiration from them for your own kitchen.
Furniture
To decorate your kitchen, you can use real coffee by making panels from whole beans, decorating ceramic dishes or bottles with them, and even simply pouring them into a large transparent glass vessel.
You can diversify your coffee design with lighter or brighter details. First of all, these are textile elements:
To make your kitchen design in coffee colors look impressive and harmonious, you should consider several nuances:
You may not like cappuccino for its taste, but from an aesthetic point of view, the color of brown is a color masterpiece! Coffee lovers will support. Fortunately, there is an abundance of materials of this kind for kitchens. However, a zealous owner will definitely want to delve into the theory when deciding how suitable the color is for the interior. In this article we will look at the design of a kitchen in the color of coffee with milk in gloss (photo at the end of the publication).
Window decoration in children's rooms
Short curtains for a nursery are no less practical than for a kitchen or bedroom. Children often draw curtains or accidentally step on long curtains. Shortened versions of window curtains will not spoil, will not be bent or pulled.
Delicate curtains for the balcony
This is a standard variation that should be reproduced in a modern style using interesting and unusual materials. Short curtains on the balcony are suitable like no other.
First of all, there is not much space in this room. Secondly, in the lower part there are often drawers or cabinets for storing things and dishes. The owners can choose an apartment with a loggia or balcony, shutters, Roman shutters, French or Japanese curtains.
What is the color of cappuccino (coffee with milk in gloss) in the kitchen?
The student knows that getting brown is absolutely simple: mix greens with red paint - the result is a brown mess. But the artist nature is a more subtle creator. The chocolate shades of cocoa beans she invented (or coffee beans) are standards of beauty. All that remains for a person is to complete the process: fry, grind, brew, add milk. Or decorate your home with a chocolate-cappuccino shade.
The presence of other, slightly dirty colors next to coffee and cappuccino colors enlivens the interior. For Brazilian heroes, proximity to others gives them strength, and contrast gives them expressiveness. The monotony is like a tank filled with coffee.

Advice from psychologists
Many professional psychologists claim that coffee-colored wallpaper stabilizes the nervous system. Such a welcoming space allows people to talk and discuss pressing issues.
Considering that the milk line assumes the absence of cold shades, the winter period is characterized by a warmer environment. In addition, the absence of pressure on the psychological state allows you to completely relax. Inside, the coffee palette is often called chocolate. And, as you know, this particular product is the best antidepressant.
Main aspects of using the coffee line:
- A room decorated in coffee tones allows you to forget about your worries for a while. Such an interior does not have a painful effect on the guests - the owners, in turn, are committed to intellectual and creative work. Therefore, such a popular color scheme is often found in workshops.
- Brown wallpaper will be useful for people leading an active lifestyle, because they need a corner of the house where they can truly retire and relax.
- Previously, coffee shades were used in palaces where aristocratic nobility lived. Therefore, they were recognized as elite and privileged. Decorating the room with chocolate shades significantly adds solidity to the room. This effect can be enhanced with the help of expensive furniture made of quality wood and genuine leather.
Interior design options in the “coffee theme” style
A possible mistake in the above: rolled aluminum parts will give off an almost mirror-like shine. To eliminate the glare of aluminum, choose metal patina parts polished under “old gold” varnish. French curtains-blinds will eliminate direct sunlight, from which the cappuccino “throws” into cream and lilac shades.
The glare effect with the inevitable separation of a subtle color into sharp yellow (from the sun) and blue (in the shadows) can be avoided if you use cappuccino plastic with a spark. The same small dots are desirable on the desktop tabletop. For example, among the straw inclusions there are black dots, gray + pink + black. But the serpentine patterns of black and white marble - never.
Interiors with a dominant chocolate color can be described metaphorically as “southern sunset.” Red is everywhere - it doesn't hurt. If the floor tiles are black, the gaps are the same. Black walls (or red) are not entirely new, but nevertheless very avant-garde. But let it be khaki or burgundy - just not beige!
When the carrier of the “chocolate” color is wood (treated with stain or real Indian mahogany veneer), then there can be no talk of other fibrous materials. The surfaces of painted walls should highlight the advantages of furniture facades. Black parquet, as if made from bog oak, is welcome here. There are also floors supposedly made of mahogany. This happens in linoleum and laminate.
Chocolate milk walls in the kitchen
The table is massive, “like stained shag.” His legs are painted “café au lait.” The same combination is used on furniture facades. You can even order lockers “at random”. There is a way of combining when the linings from the corner have a sinuous outline - a complete illustration of foam curls. Parisian chocolatiers applaud because they decorate their chocolate cafes this way.
Ceiling
A two-tier ceiling is expressive when the intermediate level - like a stream - winds between the 1st and 3rd levels, without repeating the main contour, but bends around the waves “in its own way.” The pattern is dynamic, so you don’t need to make a lot of waves.
Drawings, patterns
When your choice falls on curtains with patterns or designs, do not overdo it by saturating the space with them. Even the most beautiful curtain design is unlikely to please the eye if the wallpaper is incorrectly selected, and vice versa - originally designed wallpaper will lose its flavor next to the same colorful window decor.
The combinations listed below will be the most correct:
- large patterns or designs on curtains will go well with plain wallpaper;
- curtains for beige wallpaper can be of a different color, but with a beige pattern;
- with the same pattern on the curtains and wallpaper, the main color should be noticeably different (or the size of the pattern should be different).
Striped wallpaper can expand the window (horizontal stripes) or make it taller (vertical stripes). The second option will be optimal for the classic style. Geometric shapes are suitable only if the interior already has such a pattern.
Do not forget that up to 70% of the entire color range is made up of neutral shades, the rest is reserved for additional colors and patterns, among other things.
You should not take more than three colors to decorate the interior of a room, so that the room does not become overly colorful. In this case, your eyes will quickly get tired of the colors.
Interior items also play a role; it is necessary to take into account the compatibility of curtains with furniture and other decor. For example, if the interior color scheme consists of only two colors, then you can safely choose one of them for the curtains. The following option is also possible: match the pattern on the bedspread to the pattern of the window decor.
Important: all patterns and designs must have a similar style, otherwise there will be inconsistency in the design.
It's no secret that different rooms require different approaches. Curtains to match the color of the wallpaper in different types of rooms should be selected in accordance with the purpose of a particular room.

Curtains and wallpaper - textures and patterns
Studying how professional designers combine wallpaper and curtains in photos, one cannot help but notice how harmoniously the combination of textures and patterns is worked out. It is traditionally believed that the texture of wallpaper and curtains should match each other - if the walls have heavy, voluminous vinyl, then the curtains should be thick, velvet, and if the paper is light, then the curtains should be made of cotton or organza. The compatibility of patterns is no less important:
- vertical stripes on the wallpaper, expanding the space, can easily be duplicated on the curtains, but you can also choose a monochrome fabric that matches the color of the base stripes;
- if there are horizontal stripes on the walls, then on the curtains the identical pattern can be stretched vertically to create spatial variety;
- horizontal stripes on the curtains can be adjacent to smooth walls, which will help visually enlarge the window opening;
Horizontal striped curtains visually enlarge the window opening
- plain wallpaper can be diluted with fabrics with large patterns;
- curtains for wallpaper with flowers are chosen to be discreetly neutral, matching the colors of the bouquets on the wallpaper;
- curtains richly decorated with prints will be appropriate in a room where one or more basic monotones are used for decoration;
- curtains with metallized threads or mother-of-pearl coating are considered difficult to combine - such an unusual texture must be displayed in some other interior element (this could be a frieze or coating on embossed patterned wallpaper);
- for wall paintings with geometric patterns, choose the same dynamic curtains - but play with shapes, create a balancing space: for example, small-checkered wallpaper is balanced with concentric circles on the fabric;
- if the wallpaper has abstract patterns, then the material for the curtains is selected to match the color of the main background.
If the walls are decorated with wallpaper with a small pattern, then the identical pattern on the curtains will be noticeable and large, and if the wall decoration is a colorful patterned fabric, then the curtains should be neutral.
