Brown is a color that’s not as strong and dramatic as black so it can be safely used for all the walls. Also, there are different shades of brown so it’s important to pay attention to this detail as well. A bedroom where all the walls are brown needs a brighter and lighter color so it would be nice to opt for white. For example, paint the door white, the windows and maybe even the floor and use white for the furniture and decorations too.
