Brown Couch Living Room Ideas + Decorating Tips
A brown couch in a living room is a classic vibe. Here’s how to style it up for the new trends – or keep it simple and traditional.
Rustic Escapades
Who needs teleportation when you have a living room that takes you right to a different time and place? The southwest vibes of a bright brown leather couch get amplified when decorated with a desert sun mirror, cactus decor and rustic wood tables.
Brown Sectional = More Living Room Warmth
More seating means more color. Choose a sectional with modular configuration (that means you can add extra seats and shape the sectional how you want) to extend a warm brown living room color palette. Because of the larger surface area of these designs, you’ll want to offset the dark brown color with lighter throw pillows: white and light grey create nice contrast.

Modern Minimalist
A chic brown leather sofa helps to ground this bright, high-ceiling living room. Tufted upholstery and track arms make it modern, while a blue plaid rug adds fun color to complement brown’s warm tones. (Psst: in a sun-soaked room, opt for fade resistant sofas to preserve your upholstery’s color.)
Reversed Brown + White
Reverse the brown couch color scheme with brown throw pillows on a lighter-colored sofa. White couches don’t have to be scary: high-performance fabrics that resist stains make it easy to keep a breezier palette for a more unique living room feel.
Darker Brown Upholstery
Espresso tones warm a living room like a cup of hot coffee warms the soul. We’re loving the botanical print pillows for a pop of trendy pattern. Other fun trends you can incorporate via throw pillows? Try blue plaid pillows, earth tones striped pillows or bright white geometric pillows, all of which complement monochrome brown upholstery.
