USING BROWN PAINT A few tips

Use a deep brown in a master bedroom to create warmth and serenity.
Colors that work well with brown include pink, green, red, raspberry, yellow and robin's-egg blue.
Don't be afraid to use it in a small room as long as there is a window to allow in natural light.
Use linen lampshades that allow light to reflect downward and against the darker walls to create tranquility.
Use fabrics with touches of brown to complement the darker walls and create interest and texture.
