A brown sofa bed suits a snug better than almost any other colour, because brown is warm, forgiving and naturally restful.

In this article we explain which wall colours work best with different shades of brown, how to layer cushions, throws and rugs for depth, how to light a snug so it glows rather than feels gloomy, and which wood tones and metals sit comfortably alongside. We also look at the practical side: choosing a fabric that copes with everyday use, arranging the room so the bed opens easily, and making the snug a welcoming place for guests who stay overnight....
