If it still seems a bit weird to you, here are some ideas that will convince you to try it out.

What Blue And Brown Shades To Try?
If we take blue, navy is the most popular shade as it’s dark classics: not as dark and banal as black but still quite dark. Though you may try any shade from electric blue to dusty blue and pale blue, slate blue, Tiffany blue and so on. Brown is good in its rich chocolate tones and also as lighter and transitional shades like amber, beige and light brown. The shade you choose and the amount of each color are very important not to overdo the room and not to make it gloomy with a lot of dark tones (unless you want it). This color palette can be enriched with burgundy, green, beige, red, yellow and gold structures.

How To Style A Blue And Brown Living Room?
Start from the walls: what shade of blue are you going to apply? Will it be an accent wall or all the walls and the ceiling? Of course, you can get brown for the walls but it’s quite rare. Then choose the star of the room, and here I’d advise a brown leather sofa or a cognac or a tan one, this is classics. Add chairs that will echo with the wall, not the couch, as matchy-matchy furniture is out, so get some blue ones. Support the color scheme with blue and brown rugs, pillows and curtains. Add gilded lamps and chandeliers, some other surfaces and voila! You can also skip the idea of pulling the color scheme throughout the room and choose an all-neutral interior as a backdrop filling it with color using furniture. Get inspired!
