What colors complement SW Antiquarian Brown?
11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago
We just had a small room painted, which will be used as a study/den, Sherwin Williams Antiquarian Brown. I know it might be too dark a color for a small room but I can't change that now. There will be a very light neutral area rug and some pine furniture in there eventually. Are reds the best colors to complement it? Thank you!

If your rug is the color of biscuit you are certainly heading in the right direction.

PRO11 years agoIt sounds like you feel the color is too dark for your small room, so to counter that, I would suggest light neutrals, such as whites, creams and light grays. Light gray is great with this color.
