9 Alluring Bedrooms With a Brown & Cream Colour Scheme

1. Various shades of brown have been used to create a layered effect in this bedroom. Be it the light-coloured wood flooring, the distressed wood of the chair, the textured brown cabinet or dark wood headboard with intricate work – all the elements complement each other, tied together with a neutral background of cream.

2. Cookies and cream come to mind when I look at this bedroom where the deep-brown elements give depth and character to the space. This dark colour might have made a place seem gloomy – which is where the cream flooring, ceiling and window sheers come into play, filling the room with light, making it cosy and welcoming.

3. This bedroom shows an interplay of hues and contrasts, tied together with common patterns and textures. Take the chaise longue, ottoman and headboard, for instance, where brown and teal are synchronised with a standard tufted look. The wallpaper in beige and the wooden flooring give some movement to the design and hues of the room.

4. Light and dark colours come together to strike a wonderful balance in this bedroom. The recessed lighting through the wooden wall panels gives depth and expansion to the narrow space.

5. This plush interior uses two extreme hues – cream and deep brown – with accents in black to frame the colour scheme. Large motifs, too, take centre stage in this area – a sprinkling of silver and gold flowers on the bedding and window blind offer respite from the solid-coloured, dark interior.

6. Different shades of brown interact in this room – the colour wheel moving from cream to beige to brown. I like how there is a textural relief through the shaggy carpet in this otherwise uniformly upholstered room. Pops of black (cushions, lamps) add a hint of contrast and drama to the interior.

7. Just the slightest touch of brown peeks out from this room, in the frame of the smart, sleek four-poster seat. The patterned beige accent wall, the smooth cream floor and ceiling, the metallic curtains and the grey rug add visual quality to the space. The large windows overlooking the hills flood the room with plenty of light and the soft hues inside ensure the room stays bright, light and airy.

8. I like the swirl of browns, creams and blacks in this bedroom, illuminated by an ornate chandelier and the light streaming in from the windows. The combination of three tones brings vibrancy to the room – the deep brown on the wall behind the bed, the cream headboard, duvet and chairs, and the black of the furniture work beautifully together. This chromatic interaction is reflected in the colours of the inlay work on the floor.

9. Many thoughtful elements help create a luxe, restful vibe in this bedroom, be it the soothing browns of the wall and side table or the cream embroidered bed sheets and cushions. Adding more charm and sophistication to the setting is the sleek rose-gold bedside lamp and the recessed lighting … what a snug, dreamy haven.
