The rich history of the colour brown

The term “brown” comes from Old English “brún”, meaning any dusky, dark shade of colour. Around the world, the colour brown comes from foods and beverages — in the eastern Mediterranean, the word for brown comes from the colour of coffee. In Southeast Asia, the colour comes from chocolate, and in Japan, “chairo” refers to the colour of tea.

However, the colour brown has been around longer than you’d think. Brown has been the primary colour used in art since prehistoric times! Paintings using umber, a natural clay pigment made of iron oxide and manganese oxide, have been dated back to 40,000BC. Likewise, female figures in ancient Egyptian tomb paintings have brown skin painted with umber.

Ancient Greeks and Romans also produced a fine reddish-brown ink called “sepia” from cuttlefish ink. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael used this colour in their paintings during the Renaissance.

Besides its rich history, brown has many positive connotations. All colours come with “psychology”, i.e. feelings and qualities they’re often associated with, and brown has some best.

  • A sense of strength and reliability. Brown is typically seen as solid as the earth, and it’s a colour that’s often associated with resilience, dependability and safety.
     
  • Feelings of warmth, comfort and security. Brown is frequently described as natural, down-to-earth and conventional, but it can also be seen as sophisticated — as you’ll see in our brown rug collection!
     
  • Feng shui (harmonising your environment). Each colour is linked to a specific feng shui element. Brown often represents wood if it’s dark or earth if it’s a lighter shade. Although the colour brown has an energetic, nurturing quality, feng shui principles suggest using brown sparingly while decorating and should be well-balanced with other colours to avoid a lack of ambition and drive. Blue is considered a good colour to combine with brown due to the earth/water harmony.

How to style a brown rug

There's no need to fear brown rugs! Brown is a versatile colour that works well in almost any space. Here are some tips on how to style a chic brown rug:

  • Use it as a base — A brown rug can be the perfect foundation for your living room or bedroom. It provides a warm, earthy base that can be dressed up or down with timber furniture and metallic finishes.
     
  • Pair it with other earth tones — Brown rugs look incredible paired with other earth tones like blue, green, tan and ivory. This creates a natural and inviting vibe in any space.
     
  • Add a pop of colour — Don't be afraid to add some personality to your space with a pop of vibrant colour. A brown rug can provide a neutral backdrop for brighter hues like pink, orange and blue.
     
  • Introduce texture — Texture is key when it comes to brown rugs. Look for rugs made from natural fibres like wool or jute for an added touch of warmth and sophistication.
     
  • Keep it simple — Sometimes less is more. If you're going for a more minimalist look, stick to a brown rug with a simple design, avoiding “loud” patterns or overly busy designs.

With these tips in mind, you can easily incorporate a brown rug into any space. Whether you're looking for a warm foundation or a pop of personality, brown rugs are the perfect solution!
