Do you have brown furniture like the Florence Knoll sofa? Stay here, because today we will answer you common doubts that you very possibly have about them!

If you are decorating your living room or any other space in the house by yourself, it is very likely that as you progress you will be filled with questions related to the results you are obtaining or have not yet obtained. One of the questions that most often arise when decorating a house are those related to furniture. When the furniture pieces are acquired, it usually appears on which walls they combine with this piece, what elements can be used to combine and even how the life of this piece can be prolonged. These and more questions are what we will answer today! Next we will focus on furniture like Florence Knoll, in brown tones, let's get started!

Wall colors to match brown furniture

Furniture in shades of brown is often classified as boring or drab, but as it is often seen in the design world, this is a very bad preconceived idea of what brown furniture can actually be. Brown furniture such as the Florence Knoll sofa, can be seen as a versatile piece that helps to generate an elegant and striking style, the key is with what tone of walls you combine them. That being said, what wall colors can you choose? The main option is undoubtedly white.

Although white is a fairly neutral color capable of combining with any tone, the contrast between brown and white is almost perfect and pleasing to the eye. Choose white in case you want to create a look like Scandi or even boho. These two styles are governed by similar characteristics, including the color palette.

If you want to create a cozy sanctuary, stick with midtones. These colors produce a cozy feeling that makes for a relaxed family afternoon. These also create a certain intimacy in the environment. So if you want this effect, be guided by colors like gold or warm yellow, medium blues or greens and even gray if you want to opt for extra neutrality.

How to complement with brown furniture

Since brown and its hues have warm undertones, this means they can blend in with cold color accents.

So you can abide by this foundation to choose the accessories you want to implement, for example, you can start by placing blue blankets and pillows, to accentuate the leather of your Florence Knoll sofa or the one you have. You can also add different textures either on floors, with rugs, or on the same sofa with throw pillows. Look at this example of a brown sofa with cold color accents.

Suggestions to clean wood furniture

As a large quantity of brown furniture is made of wood, we would like to mention a few suggestions when cleaning it:
