Chocolate Brown Rugs

Chocolate brown rugs in the room

Chocolate brown looks sheltering and high-quality. The colour is warmer than a neutral dark brown and has a slight red tinge that makes it lively. A chocolate brown rug anchors light furniture, creates depth and gives large, open rooms a cosy centre.

In the living room

In the living room, chocolate brown goes with sofas in cream, beige or light grey and with accents in turquoise or mustard yellow. For large rooms, there are sizes up to 300 x 400 cm that take in a whole seating landscape. If you prefer something more compact, you will find sizes such as 170 x 240 cm or 120 x 180 cm. Our living room rugs show more ideas for this room.

In the bedroom

In the bedroom, chocolate brown creates a warm, sheltered mood, especially with white bed linen and linen in sand or cream. A rug of 170 x 240 cm fits under the bed and frames it, while smaller sizes sit well beside it.

In the hallway

About one in seven chocolate brown rugs is a runner. In the entrance area, the dark colour is particularly practical because it hides dirt and marks well, while looking warm and welcoming. With light tiles or stone it forms a beautiful contrast.

Which chocolate brown rugs does Morgenland offer?

Most of our chocolate brown rugs are hand-knotted, some hand-woven. A good half come from Persia, a fifth from Afghanistan and the rest from India and Nepal. Classic and modern designs are almost evenly balanced, with the classic ones slightly predominating. The classic rugs are Oriental rugs, almost all of them from Persia.

Baluch and Bidjar

The classic rugs include Baluch rugs with their typically dark, rich colours and small geometric motifs, as well as densely knotted Bidjar rugs from western Persia. They are joined by individual Moud and Ziegler rugs.

Loribaft and Nepal

Loribaft rugs with calm, finely shaded surfaces and Nepal rugs with simple patterns look more modern. Around a third of all chocolate brown rugs are plain. In some designs, bamboo silk, a fibre made from bamboo cellulose, provides a silky shimmer.

Sizes and shapes

Most chocolate brown rugs are rectangular, and the rest are runners. Sizes range from 60 x 90 cm and 70 x 140 cm through 120 x 180 cm to large sizes of 300 x 400 cm. Since the selection in this shade is limited and many pieces are one-offs, it is worth checking this page regularly.

Frequently asked questions about chocolate brown rugs

Is chocolate brown the same as dark brown?

Not quite. Chocolate brown is warmer and a little redder, dark brown earthier and more neutral. You will find a larger selection of earthy tones among the dark brown rugs.

What is bamboo silk?

Bamboo silk is a fibre made from bamboo cellulose. It shines in a similar way to silk, feels smooth and is often used in modern rugs to highlight patterns.

Does chocolate brown go with a dark wooden floor?

For the rug to stand out, it should have lighter areas in the pattern or work through a contrast with walls and furniture. Chocolate brown shows to best effect on light floors.
