Using maroon in your home

Maroon suits studies, hallways, dining rooms, and cabinetry when you want color without a candy red read. In north light it can lean winey, so compare it beside your flooring during the day and after sunset. South light warms the brown in shades like Prune and Amber Haven. Pair with bone white trim, mushroom neutrals, aged brass, or deep green. Avoid pairing it with very yellow beige unless you want the room to feel heavy.
