A drop of chocolate brown is the perfect complement to country rooms. Savour the comfort of chocolate by indulging in this rich colour with the use of throws, pillows and dark wood finishes. Use textured fabrics (like suedes, flannels and leathers) in chocolate brown to add personality to a neutral-toned room, or adopt a chocolate furry friend to keep you warm. Let's give thanks to the ancient Mayans and Aztecs for discovering the 'magic' cocoa bean thousands of years ago.
