Different design ideas are cyclical in nature in Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Coral Gables, Ocean Reef, Miami Beach, Key Largo, FL, and the surrounding areas, and this includes the use of browns and wood tones throughout a home. At Trimline Design Center, we can help you work with the different shades of brown to develop a pleasing approach to your new space. While this trend may not have come on with a bang, it is here nonetheless, and we can embrace it with a renewed vigor. While you may want to take a light touch with the wood tones and browns in general, there are tasteful ways to incorporate this more natural color throughout your design. From your storage cabinets to your walls and furniture, browns are a potent and grounding color that provides a way to splash other colors around that complement each other.

Getting Back to Nature
When you think of browns, at first you probably envision the really dark browns that resemble a bear, or the deep browns of some wood stains on cabinets. And while this was a style many years ago, today the browns that we are working with are more natural wood tones that keep the original color of the wood. In many ways, these wood tones are taking a cue from the old southwestern motif of years ago but keeping the look distinctly modern versus a throwback to the last century.
Brown is the softer cousin of black yet has a richness that grey and white just cannot convey. Brown is also a more universal color in that you can pair it with so many other colors and they work together well. When it comes to walls, there can be harsh browns and soft browns, almost like a taupe or oatmeal color. Getting the right blend in a room is partly an art, with a bit of science thrown in to keep things measured.
Natural Materials Are Making a Comeback
One of the natural materials that we are seeing more and more of are natural stone countertops in kitchens and bathrooms. Instead of having a laminate countertop that gets torn out after perhaps a decade, your natural stone countertop has an everlasting feel that is luxurious while also being practical. The way that a natural stone countertop is a unique piece also feels like you have something special that you get to use daily.
This year the combination of wood tones, especially browns, coupled with the desire for natural stone for countertops, means that we are taking the best of the outdoors and blending it for our indoor use in Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Coral Gables, Ocean Reef, Miami Beach, Key Largo, FL, and the surrounding area. At Trimline Design Center, we can help you to make the most of your home enhancement projects. Contact us today to talk more about your new design elements for your home.
