A brown couch is the king of all furniture, especially if it’s made of suede or leather. This timeless piece can easily be integrated into any classic or modern living room decor. In fact, you can accentuate your room’s character by furnishing it with a luxury brown sofa.
Rugs and couches go hand in hand as two of the most valued interior design pieces. When deciding on choosing the best colors of rugs that go with brown couches, you’ll be surprised to find that your options are plenty.
Keep reading to discover some great tips on picking the right rug colors for your brown couch as well as the best rugs that are available on the market.
Tips on Choosing the Best Rug Color and Size for Brown Couches
– Choose a soft color rug to complement a dark brown leather couch. A light color rug will lighten up the space and help build contrast against the dark brown sofa. If your brown sofa has a visual texture, you can pick subtle shades of rugs that enhance the visual interest of the couch.
As a general rule of thumb, pick a rug color that compliments the couch. While there are no limits to the colors you can choose, natural shades will work particularly well with brown couches.
– If you choose multi-colored rugs, try to coordinate them with your room’s secondary colors and decor. A well-laid-out living room has two secondary colors: a brown couch is the primary color, and accentuated pillows or throw blankets are in secondary colors. Your chosen rug can be the same color as the secondary color palette in order to achieve a cohesive look.
– Aside from the rug color, you must also pay attention to the rug size. A large rug will bring the seating space of your living room together and define the borders of the space. You may also use a large rug to create harmony with the rest of your furniture. In smaller living room spaces, opt for narrow area rugs or shaggy ones for the foot of the couch so as to avoid making the living room feel cramped.
– Since brown couches are such versatile furniture pieces, they can be matched with lots of different rug colors. The color you choose will change the ambiance of your living room and give the brown couch more aesthetic appeal.

8 Rug Colors That Go With Brown Couches
1. White Rug Paired with Brown Couch
A neutral, pastel rug goes well with any couch color. But if you want to make your living room space feel bigger and brighter, then it makes sense to opt for a white rug. Not only do white rugs go with most furniture pieces, but they also do a great job of bringing out the rich, warmer tones of your brown couch. White and brown create a nice contrast, after all.
A plush fluffy white rug against a buttery leather couch will give your living room a cozy feel while allowing the two colors to play with texture. This combination creates a powerful contrast and allows you to mix and match the material finishes with one another.
Our best example is this super-soft, fluffy white rug that boasts a modern feel. The area rug is made for soft velvet with a high-density sponge that makes it so soft to the touch. This fluffy rug also features thousands of PVC non-slip dots that prevent it from slipping on laminate or tile floors. Furthermore, it is large enough to cover an average size living room floor.
2. Brown Area Rug with Brown Couch
To create a more harmonious contrast, consider pairing your brown couch with a matching color like brown. While this may seem a little obvious or common, before you cross it off your possible list of rug colors, you should know that brown comes in many different shades.
In other words, you don’t necessarily have to choose the exact same shade for your rug as you have for your couch.
For example, if your couch is a medium shade of brown, then the safest option is to go with a lighter shade of brown for your rug. This combination will make your living room feel warmer and more inviting. If, on the other hand, your couch is an extremely dark or light shade of brown, then pair it with an extremely light brown rug to add subtle depth and maintain harmony at the same time.
