There are few colors that more perfectly depict the coziest season than chocolate brown, but the universally-loved shade still seamlessly slips into any style of decor, no matter what the season, so it’s a great one to introduce into your scheme as early as August!

From wearing deep brown as a modern alternative to black to the latest latte makeup trend all over social media, chocolate brown is big news right now in fashion, beauty and (of course) homeware! When browsing through the best home decor stores it’s hard not to come across a chocolate brown home accessory, and it’s no wonder – as the goes-with-anything neutral tone feels both timeless and refreshingly seasonal. So if you can’t wait to bring out the fall decor, I’ve selected some of the best home accessories in the most on-trend shade of the moment.

WHAT COLORS LOOK BEST WITH CHOCOLATE BROWN?

Neutral tones like creams and beiges make an excellent backdrop for deep brown accessories. The simple-yet-sophisticated color scheme (and minimalist style of decor that it lends itself well to) really allows the richness of the chocolate brown tones to shine through. 

Natural, earthy shades like olive green, off-white and terracotta also suit the earthiness of chocolate brown very well. Here, you can experiment with organic-feeling accessories with more rustic silhouettes – like those made of textured stoneware.

Wood and rattan accents are also a natural pairing for chocolate brown accessories. As long as you stick to similar levels of warmth, mixing different shades of brown can look very effective!
