If you have a lot of guests, children, pets or if you plan to leave your wicker furniture outside on a regular basis, select a cushion in a color that will not show stains easily. Dark and vibrant colors, such as reds, blues and greens are less likely to show stains than yellows, creams or whites.
A wide assortment of solid-colored cushions will look good with your chocolate brown wicker chair. Solid colors that go well with brown include blues, greens, reds, yellows and orange. Select a color that contrasts strongly with the brown if you want the cushions to be noticeable. If you do not want the cushions to draw attention, a muted or neutral solid cushion is functional and unflashy.
Selecting a cushion with a multicolor pattern on it can help your chair blend into your surrounding decor more effectively. Avoid patterned cushions that are trendy or seasonal; otherwise, you may find yourself replacing cushions long before they wear out because they seem dated or out of season.
If you want your chair's cushion to have the appearance of matching the chair, look for a cushion that has chocolate brown accents or incorporates chocolate brown as one of the colors in the pattern.
