I have to admit I’m surprised by the limited number of living rooms with brown couches I have in our mammoth collection of living room designs and photos. When I decided to cover this topic (which is quite popular – see trend chart below), I thought it would be easier to find far more photos that I did.
That said, I restricted selections for this gallery to only the nicest looking living rooms. I wanted to make this a collection of the finest living room designs with a brown sofa and not just a large gallery with good and bad designs. Enjoy.

Brown Color Chart
Below is a nifty chart setting out the popular shades of brown.
Brown Psychology
Brown PsychologyBrown is a natural color that evokes safety and security. It’s arguably a calming color. It’s also fairly neutral and goes with many other colors well. It’s one of the most popular interior design colors, largely because wood, which is very popular for flooring, furniture frames, tables, and cabinetry, is some shade of brown.
2 Approaches to Brown Sofas in a Room
With brown sofas, you can do the following:
- Use it in contrast to plenty of white; or
- Integrate into a color scheme with plenty of earth tones.
While it looks fine with other colors such as blue, green and orange, I like it best with white. The above-featured living room is predominantly blue with a brown leather sofa. It’s a great looking vintage living room, but I think the brown sofa is not the best pick.
