This is when coffee wallpaper is glued to only one wall, and the other three walls are decorated in pastel shades. Bright decorative items will fit perfectly into such an interior.

Features of using these shades
Shades of brown have different intensities. Therefore, there are quite a few alternatives for its use. When using brown wallpaper in the interior, you need to pay attention to some features:
- Rich chocolate, without sufficient lighting, it seems dull and gloomy.
- When choosing dark wallpaper, you need to choose more quality models. They last longer appearance and are more resistant to mechanical damage.
- To create such an interior, it is imperative to use bright accents.
- In a large room use dark brown wallpaper. In tiny rooms, give preference to light brown wallpaper.
- Massive patterns should be used only on one wall. A large drawing can greatly “saturate” and overload the room.
- Beige or white-cream furniture is perfect for chocolate canvases.

You can talk at length about canons in design, but every day the existing canons are becoming less and less stable. Aesthetics and harmony, balance, colors, materials brought together in order to obtain such a long-awaited result are the essence of your knowledge, practice and self-development. My motto is to learn, see, touch something new every day, and I am sure that this is the only way to stay on the right course in “high design.”
“Life in chocolate”, some in this phrase will see a carefree prosperous existence, while others modern interior. If you consider yourself to be in the second category, join me, let's talk about how to use chocolate color in the interior.
“Edible” color can have many shades, from rich cocoa color to dark brown, bordering on black. Whatever tone you choose, they are all connected with the material world.
Color psychology defines chocolate as the color of people who stand firmly on their feet, honor their roots, care about their well-being and live a measured, quiet life. Is the color itself really so dull and monotonous?
No. He is amazing, able to find a lot of color duets and arrange a truly cozy interior.
Color duets
White and chocolate
White is universal in nature and forms an excellent companion to rich brown. In the interior, it is preferable to give at least 2/3 of all large surfaces to white. If this combination seems too boring, introduce a third color, such as gold, orange or turquoise.
A few words about beige
Beige is much softer than white and belongs to a variety of light brown shades. Such a duet is self-sufficient, so it can exist without a third color. But you can afford a varied play with textures in the decoration of walls and furniture.
The combination itself is reminiscent of a delicious chocolate cake. What's missing in dessert? That's right, fruit! For accessories, choose berry shades, such as lingonberry, pink, apricot, plum or blackberry.
What do you think about red?
Red is sharpness, strength and energy, brown is calm, without additional color they are unlikely to be able to create a sufficiently harmonious interior union. Dilute them with blue or white accessories.
Orange sun, orange camel
Orange is no less energetic, but more appropriate in a duet with chocolate. Remember, the darker the chocolate shade, the brighter the orange should be. Use white as a complement.
Yellow sun
Yellow and chocolate are quite close on the color wheel. In a duet with dark brown, I recommend using soft, blurry shades of yellow. For small rooms, the latter can be the main color.
The photo shows a combination of chocolate-colored textiles and bright yellow upholstery
The grass is turning green
Both colors are classified as natural, so they go well together. Green brings coolness and freshness to the interior, creating a contrast with the cozy and warm chocolate. For country-style interiors, I would recommend using shades, but for classic and art deco, rich emerald is suitable.
Blue and chocolate
If by all means you want to add blue in the interior, choose muted shades - bleached blue, pale cornflower blue, niagara and gray.
The combination of chocolate and turquoise, as well as the duet of reddish-chocolate with a hint of blue denim, is especially popular.
Despite the fact that black is considered neutral and even classic colors, I do not recommend combining it with chocolate.
As a result, you may end up with a rather gloomy and inexpressive interior.
Gold – to be or not to be?
This combination is suitable for classic interiors and large areas. As an addition, you can use light shades - cappuccino, beige, cream, champagne and ivory.
Pink Panther
Pink and chocolate evoke thoughts of retro; the color tandem is appropriate in bedrooms and children's rooms. In most cases, pink takes the reigns in the room, while dark brown is used in furniture and accessories.
Chocolate is most rarely combined with gray, purple and dark blue.
Chocolate and creamy bedroom
- A feature of the room allocated for the bedroom was an extremely modest amount of daylight. natural light. That is why the design emphasized subdued artificial lighting.
- Chocolate was chosen as the main shade; the color duo was creamy. The choice is not accidental and is dictated by the fact that dark shades of brown do not require large quantity light, are able to start an amazing game even in dim lighting.
- Another feature of the room layout is low ceilings. The problem was solved by using moldings, vertical picture frames and clear lines of curtains. In addition, painting the ceiling cornices in the same tone as the walls had a positive effect.
- What helps create the illusion of spaciousness in a small room? Of course, this is the measured use of large objects. So, a floor lamp, a leather chair and a bed with large drawing at the head.
- The location of the door and window did not allow me to radically change the layout, but I worked on the functionality. In addition to two spacious built-in wardrobes, storage space was created in the bed, equipped with a lifting mechanism.
- The panels that frame the niche located behind the bed are made of chipboard; synthetic padding is “hidden” under the fabric with a geometric print.
- Parquet modules with the Versailles ornament, an original chandelier on the ceiling and, of course, reproductions of paintings gave the room a special mood.
- If you are arranging the interior in a small area, choose built-in appliances. In this project, I “recessed” the TV into the wall, after moving the niche forward a few centimeters.
- A separate area was a loggia-office with a heated floor system. The same shades were used for its design – chocolate and cream.
Used:
- fabric – “Artik” Fabricut;
- wall paint – Vinyl Matt Dulux;
- moldings – Axxent PX144, Orac;
- decorative panel – “Toris”;
- built-in wardrobes – “Capital Carpentry Company”;
- parquet – Marco Ferutti;
- built-in ventilation – Ventmachine.
Expressive interior in brown and blue tones
Sometimes even a small thing can become a starting point in interior design, and this is what happened with the arrangement of the kitchen. You will hardly guess what became the “trigger mechanism”. Roosters, however, are drawn. The main shades of the interior were chocolate, blue and red.
Long and not so much comfortable room Not only three bright and self-sufficient colors fit in, but also many textures. Rough granite, smooth plastic, stainless steel and natural wood.
At first glance, associations are created with the works of the Cubists. This is not surprising, because the kitchen is ruled by strict geometry and clear lines, visible in the kitchen island, shelf, hood and even refrigerator. The only element that was not absorbed by geometry was the collection of paintings.
Thanks to the complex geometry of the kitchen island, it was possible to divert attention from the narrowed space and low ceilings.
The lighting deserves special attention. In addition to classic spot lighting, atmospheric shelf lighting appeared in the kitchen. A slightly “cubic” mood is also created by sconces that cast clear cones of light on the surface of the walls.
The many textures used coexist in one area due to repetition. For example, natural wood panels successfully coexist with the stone countertop, as they are reflected in the finishing of the ceiling and floor.
The kitchen island made of black granite resembles an art object and serves as a full-fledged dining table for the whole family. For a light snack and tea drinking there is a small bar counter located near the stove.
The brown and blue color scheme was not limited solely to the kitchen and found its continuation in the living room. The furniture includes a velvet Togo Ligne Roset sofa and an impressive set of armchairs and a sofa made of genuine leather in a rich chocolate color. Instead of a carpet, the living room has a parquet board with an ornament.
Used:
- bar stool – Ligne Roset;
- kitchen – Alno;
- lamp – Masiero;
- sofa – Togo Ligne Roset.
Chocolate in blue wrapper
The main shades of the interior were coffee and milk, chocolate, blue and light blue.
The living room walls are painted, the floor is solid oak. In this project, I decided to move away from my favorite geometry, so I chose classic furniture with a slightly rounded shape.
Accessories and decor in a washed-out blue color were reflected in the textiles.
The hall is separated from the kitchen by a portal without a door, which makes the rooms almost a single whole, turning it into a kitchen-living room.
In window decoration, in addition to classic curtains, wooden blinds were used. This decision is explained by the location of the apartment, which allows you to watch amazingly beautiful sunsets. The light of the setting sun penetrates the slats, falling expressively and architecturally on the surfaces.
The main style of the interior is classic, but this fact does not prevent the kitchen from looking modern and containing considerable functionality.
Classical high plinth, cornices and ceiling rosettes successfully coexist with laconic glossy facades and straight lines of metal handles.
From the kitchen you can see the soft blue hall, the design of which combines classical and ethno motifs. Unlike the kitchen-living room, the walls of the hall are covered with wallpaper, which fits perfectly into the overall concept of the project.
Used:
- sofas – MERIDIANI;
- textiles – HARLEQUIN;
- lamps – Isa Corsa;
- chairs – KA International;
- table – MERIDIANI.
The perfect home for a chocolate lover
Finally, I want to show you a house that, by my personal standards, I consider ideal for “chocolate” lovers. Why him? Its design is bright, unusual and even a little surreal. At first glance, it brings to mind the house of Salvador Dali in Figueres.
The main rooms are dominated by autumn colors - chocolate, burgundy and gold.
The living-dining room is filled with the spirit and elements of ethnicity, art deco and minimalism. I think an artist, sculptor, or simply a wizard would be very comfortable in such a house.
The furniture in the living room not only performs a functional task, but is also an art object, just like a table with tentacle legs. The ethnic theme continues in the wicker round mirror and two bone flowerpots-lights.
In the dining room special attention worthy are paintings that are, on the one hand, an abstraction, and on the other, an engraving.
The kitchen is made in the best traditions of an eclectic interior: light, neutral and as spacious as possible.
Used enough interesting technique– covering the floor and tabletop in the same color.
This move is relevant for both large areas and small kitchens.
It allows you not to visually split up the space.
The hall resembles an art gallery, filled with photographs and graphics. Just one painting in an ocher tone allows you to combine the black and white corridor with the rest of the rooms in a warm “autumn” color scheme.
Here, the most varied items come together in an amazing way: an African couch, Asian chairs and a pair of lamps with root legs.
Remember, I said that chocolate goes well with gold. In most cases, the role of the first violin is given to dark brown, and golden is reflected only in decor and accessories. But there are also reverse combinations.
Thanks to its special texture flooring and wallpaper surfaces at a certain incidence of light rays appear golden. Why not, especially if we are talking about a spacious office.
Guests of the house will also be treated to “chocolate”; this particular shade was chosen as the main one for decorating the walls in the guest room. A bright accent is a sofa in ultramarine shade. A cabinet with a glossy surface can slightly increase the modest area of the room.
The main style of the bedroom is ethnic, made in a pleasant coffee-beige color. Such a light tone of the walls became an excellent backdrop for contrasting light furniture: bedside tables, sofa, table lamps. The accent role was taken on by a fur blanket, a carved wooden headboard and a stone mask on the wall.
Rich chocolate-graphite walls emphasize the sophistication of natural white marble, from which the sink and bathtub are made.

Advice. Use expensive chocolate-colored wallpaper with a golden background in the interior for zoning large room. As an option, a dark base for decorating a niche for a cabinet such as a showcase with lighting or a background for the noble tone of leather furniture.

Floors in the hall, living room with laminate or parquet board Wenge colors look gorgeous. But don’t overload the entire design with these shades. It is better to highlight furniture and accessories in the form of interesting contrasts with bright accents.
A multi-level ceiling will not be “overhanging” if it is supplemented with LED lighting. The stretch fabric should be glossy, almost mirror-like, then the “thickness of chocolate” can be diluted by the light reflected from the surface.
Golden rule. The more dark the design of the floor, walls and ceiling, the greater the need to balance the overall color of the room with light shades.
Low ceilings should not be made dark, no design techniques will not “raise” them. But if you use wenge-colored decor in a classic setting and make the ceiling light blue, you will have a visual feeling of “open sky.”
The modern interior looks noble with linear contrast (plinths and ceiling cornices, panels on the door, laminated PVC windows in a “dark wood” look).
