Do you like chocolate? What about the “chocolate” room? Woman’s Day tells and shows how to create a dream interior in shades of brown and at the same time become the happiest on Earth.
Scientists have long proved that chocolate has the most positive effect on a person: it improves mood and saves from depression, fills with vigor and increases IQ. Moreover, it is useful not only to take the delicacy inside, but also to use it as aromatherapy and various spa procedures.
Looking at the shades of chocolate is good too. Psychologists assure that brown represents stability and devotion, it calms and drives away feelings of anxiety …
According to recent studies, the “chocolate” interior is especially good for the dwellings of the northern regions (that is, for you and me), because it creates warmth in the room.
In nature, there are many chocolate shades: from milky (or the color of coffee with milk) to dark, almost black. Moreover, any shades of brown can be safely combined with each other, diluting with other shades derived from them: red, pink, orange, blue, blue, yellow, ocher, green. Also, chocolate looks great with contrasting white and ivory.
The main rule of brown-coffee-chocolate interior (especially for the living room): correct lighting. There should be as much of it as possible. Otherwise, the room will look gloomy.
The options for using chocolate tones are countless. You can paint the walls dark brown and use lighter dairy furniture, or you can do the opposite.
It is important not to neglect accessories. A soft rug, natural plants, minimalistic or abstract paintings, vases and dishes will make the space especially cozy.
Chocolate shades are most common in the dining area. And there are several reasons for this.
Firstly, brown, which is also the color of wood, has been used in the creation of kitchen sets since ancient times, and the fashion for it has not yet come out.
Secondly, the chocolate color increases appetite, improves mood and encourages friendly conversation.
And thirdly, the brown and beige range is considered neutral, so absolutely everyone will be comfortable in such interiors.
The “chocolate bedroom” also has a lot of pluses. On the one hand, brown tones soothe and help you fall asleep quickly, driving away anxious thoughts accumulated during the day. On the other hand, they contribute to a quick awakening, associated with coffee, cocoa, cinnamon and chocolate desserts.
The bathroom in a combination of chocolate-caramel and white tones looks minimalist and at the same time very cozy. And if you’re hesitant to go for darker shades, try dark brown accessories like towels and hygiene items.
Finally, we propose to consider the details of the interior in chocolate shades and finally make sure that they work wonders: they create coziness, comfort and warmth. And probably no other shade is capable of competing with these tones in space.
