How to Decorate With Brown & Yellow

Paint the walls a rich chocolate shade to add warmth to a room, or a light buttercup yellow hue to create a sunny vibe. Another option is to choose a cream or white shade to provide a neutral backdrop for the yellow and brown decor.

Obtain furniture. Decorate a bedroom with a mahogany or cherry headboard, dresser and nightstand set for an elegant look. Enhance your living room with a sophisticated-looking dark brown leather or linen couch and love seat pair.

Decorate with yellow and brown textiles. Cover a bed with a mustard or butter yellow comforter featuring white flowers to freshen up dark brown bedroom walls or furniture. Lighten up a brown couch or chair with yellow cotton throw pillows and a matching throw blanket.

Create contrast with wall decor. Ground yellow walls with brown wooden shelves filled with collectibles or frames featuring family pictures. Add a touch off freshness to dark brown walls with yellow and white artwork or vintage white porcelain plates featuring yellow floral patterns.

Enhance the space with fresh yellow flowers. Display cheery sunflowers, tulips or daisies in vintage milk glass or rustic-looking bamboo vases on wall shelves and tables. Use a vibrant yellow and white rose bouquet in a brown ceramic vase as a dining room or kitchen table centerpiece.
