Here's Why Brown is the New Black
Posted: 07 October 2025
This spring, brown isn’t boring... it’s brilliant.
When it comes to bedroom styling, black has always been the go-to.
It's timeless, it's sleek, and makes a bold statement. But, black can also feel a little heavy. As we move into brighter seasons, brown is the neutral we should be leaning on.
It brings a lighter touch, adding depth to your room without stealing the spotlight from all the other colours in the mix.
Brown leaves space for everyone to accentuate.
Brown Is Softer (In All the Right Ways)
Unlike black, which can sometimes feel overpowering, brown brings warmth and depth without weighing a room down.
It's gentler and more versatile, the softer edge lets other colours shine which is perfect for layering as the season change.

Why Brown Works for Spring
Brown isn’t just for autumn leaves and cosy winters. In fact, it pairs beautifully with spring’s fresh palette. Shades like soft hazelnut or rich chocolate can be styled alongside pastels, crisp whites, or even muted florals for a look that feels both timeless and seasonal.
Instead of clashing, brown complements these lighter tones, adding dimension while keeping the space feeling breathable and open.
How to Style Brown in the Bedroom
- Mix your neutrals
Brown loves company. Pair it with creamy linens, sandy tones, or soft blush to create a layered, inviting bed. - Play with contrast
For a more dramatic look (without the harshness of black), style chocolate tones with crisp white sheets. It’s classic, but lighter and more relaxed. - Keep it natural
Brown shines when surrounded by natural textures like timber furniture, woven rugs, or rattan accents. It ties everything together into an earthy palette.
Add a seasonal pop
Spring calls for freshness. Style your brown bedding with sage green, butter yellow, or soft lilac cushions to instantly lift the mood.
