Brown is the color of wood, earth, and natural materials, which immediately makes a brown rug warm and cozy. The shade adds a sense of security to a room without being overpowering. Taupe, a soft blend of brown and gray, is one of the most popular neutrals of the moment: warmer than gray, calmer than brown, and very easy to combine.
Taupe: the modern neutral
Taupe sits exactly between brown and gray, thus offering the best of both worlds. It has the warmth of brown and the versatility of gray, making a taupe rug suitable for almost any interior. It provides a calm base that allows your furniture to stand out while adding warmth to a room.
What to combine brown and taupe with?
Earthy tones combine beautifully with natural materials. Place a brown or taupe rug with wood, linen, rattan, and green plants for a warm, natural atmosphere. A calm, layered look also emerges when combined with cream, beige, and green. If you want more contrast, add black or dark accents. For a lighter neutral, also check out our beige rugs.
Practical: brown hides dirt well
A nice advantage of brown and taupe rugs is that they hide dirt and dust well. Because the shade is darker and warmer than white or light gray, crumbs and stains are less noticeable. This makes brown a practical choice for a busy living room, dining room, or a family with children and pets.
