HOT CHOCOLATE!


Mocha, espresso and cocoa are not just words to talk about the ever popular and trendy cups of java ,they are used to describe one of the hotest colors in design today. Brown can be found in every room in fabrics, accessories and furniture. It is considered a great base color for a room because it complements surrounding colors, making them come alive. When it comes to chocolate brown, it is all about shape — the more simple the piece, the better it looks. Through Interiors by Rohmi I have used a lot of brown, especially in furniture. Today's chocolate brown furniture has clean lines without a lot of detail, which allows you to mix several pieces without overpowering a room and making it look too dark. For a stronger, darker look, go with modern furniture because its simple geometric shapes are shown off best by dark brown. Working with chocolate brown is simple if you remember the basic rule — keep proportions while balancing everything accordingly. This color always acts as a great anchor, so it is all about using it as a base. Any color paired with brown looks new, teal-inspired shades combined with brown are a fresh alternative to spa blue and brown schemes so prevalent last year.
