What Color Area Rug Goes With a Brown Couch?

Brown and beige sofas are commonly used in living rooms to create a warm, soothing color palette. This neutral color is incredibly diverse in the furniture itself, which means that there are many options for pairing brown sofas with other colors throughout the room. Rugs in particular can coordinate with the couch’s color as long as aspects like shade, brightness, and tone are considered. Below, we’ve compiled some of our favorite rug colors to pair with brown couches.

Neutral Colors


White

  • White is a neutral color that works well with any sofa. Even if your sofa is a light brown or beige color, a white rug can help brighten the area and set your desired tone. White, off-white, and cream white rugs are all excellent accents to any brown sofa. Plus, white appears in a variety of styles like vintage, boho, modern, contemporary, and many others, so your personal aesthetic is sure to be found within white area rugs. 

Beige

  • Even though brown and beige are two variations of the same color, using a brown sofa with a beige rug does not create a drab room. This is very true when a light beige rug is paired with a dark brown, chocolate brown, or brown leather sofa. The different shading allows each element to shine, especially when the rug and sofas feature different textures. Since beige is a popular color in interior design, you’ll find beige rugs are available in many different patterns and aesthetics to complement your style. 

Neutral Colors (continued)


Grey

Brown and grey are often defined as opposing colors since brown typically conveys a warm tone and grey often feels cooler. However, this is actually a misconception: these two colors pair wonderfully together. Some greys incorporate brown undertones in their color to make an easier connection to brown, but even if this is not the case, the brown and grey can be paired together as two calming neutral tones. In general, lighter grey will balance well with bright browns and leathers. This combination draws out the warm tones of the brown and creates a definitive warm tone in the room. 

Light Brown

When using two brown colors right beside one another, it is essential to set the two apart. A light brown rug and a dark brown sofa is a perfect example, since each accent carries a different tone and hue. With recurring colors like this it’s wise to use it in different textures in the rug and furniture. For example, a velvet brown sofa can pair with a matte light brown rug, or a fabric brown sofa can balance with a light brown jute rug.

Primary Colors


Yellow

  • Yellow can be a bright, sunshiney color, so it must be carefully used in any room. Mustard yellow is another popular shade that can work well with chocolate brown sofas or light beige/cream furniture. Yellow is associated with certain styles like southwestern, boho, and contemporary, so you may need to search harder for more traditional rugs that use yellow as the main color.

Blue

  • Blue and brown is a classic combination that works well in modern and traditional spaces alike. This is partly because of how many shades and tones blue can convey. Blue can create a calming, cottage aesthetic or can present itself as a dramatic, artistic navy for contemporary spaces. In any case, blue and brown work together in many different ways and can fit into whatever your personal aesthetic is.

Secondary Colors


Green

  • Brown and green are a common pairing in interior design and in nature. Green rugs and brown furniture can create a very natural, earthy design style, but that is far from the only option. Brown sofas and green persian rugs can create an elevated traditional style, but contemporary green rugs can also work well with brown furniture. Both green and brown come in various styles and shades, so there are countless ways to pair a green rug and brown furniture. 

Orange

  • Orange and brown are often warmer colors, so using an orange rug with a brown sofa is a great way to brighten the room’s design. This color palette was especially prominent in mid century modern style, but it can also work in modern, contemporary, and traditional spaces. Some shades of orange to consider are rusty orange, copper, tangerine, and burnt orange. With all the options available for orange and brown, this color palette works in many different homes.

Additional Considerations


Pillows & Throws

  • Pillows and throws can help unify the room’s color scheme and tie back to the rug’s colors. For example, if a light brown sofa is paired with navy blue pillows, then that blue can tie into at least one color in the rug. The pillows/throws can highlight the rug’s primary color or secondary colors to create a cohesive and unified color scheme. 

Color of the Walls

  • Since brown is such a versatile and diverse neutral color, it works well with many wall colors. Light grey walls and warm brown sofas are one option that highlights the warmth of the brown, but that is far from the only option. Ultimately, the furniture, wall, and rug are three of the biggest factors in setting the room’s tone and style. 

Coffee Tables & Other Furniture

  • Coffee tables and other nearby furniture may have some overlap with the rug, so when choosing the best rug for your living room, it’s important to find a rug that pairs well with all the furniture. Whether you are pairing a modern rug with modern furniture or dressing up the furniture with a traditional rug, it is vital to carefully consider how the rug works with your nearby accents.

Brown couches and other brown furniture are popular in multiple interior design styles, which gives you great freedom in designing a living room that reflects your personal aesthetic. Now that you’ve seen some of the top rug colors to pair with brown furniture, you can take your design to the next level and create that perfect living room.
