Using sepia in your home

Sepia is quieter than chocolate brown but still needs light. Use it in studies, dining rooms, stair halls, built ins, or a front door with cream, tan, olive, black, or muted blue. South light brings out Cocoa and Acorn warmth. North light can flatten Scorched Heath. Watch heavy rooms. If the floors, furniture, and walls all sit in dark brown, add lighter trim or linen before the room closes down.
