Brown had a difficult decade. Beige took over, then grey took over from beige, and chocolate got left out in the cold somewhere around 2015. It’s back properly now, in murals like the one above, in grasscloth and woven texture, in old-fashioned damask gone moody and rich. The colour works because it’s warm rather than heavy, closer to coffee or cocoa than the flat “chocolate brown” of a school uniform. Pair it with brass, or a pale marble, or just let it fill a room on its own and watch what happens to the light in there by evening. Samples are worth ordering, this is a colour that shifts a good deal between a phone screen and a wall. Now at Wallpaper Sales.
