On Our Radar: Shades of Espresso

A particular palette is capturing our attention at Peppermill Interiors: the rich, warming spectrum of espresso and browns. Like the first sip of a perfectly brewed espresso on a crisp autumn morning, these deep, sophisticated hues offer the perfect antidote to darker days. 

Few pieces capture the enveloping comfort of Autumn quite like the Professor Leather Armchair. Its hand-finished chocolate buffalo leather epitomises deep, warming espresso tones, whilst its 1920s-inspired silhouette brings historical character to contemporary spaces. The rich brown patina, positioned fireside with a wool throw or nestled in a cosy reading nook, beckons you to embrace the season's slower pace.

Every espresso-toned dining space needs an anchor, and the Balmoral Dining Chair in Chestnut delivers exactly that. Its weathered wooden legs paired with a richly upholstered brown seat create instant seasonal warmth. The blend of chocolate and walnut tones shows how brown works beautifully as a base for layered styling in any setting, from rustic farmhouse to contemporary minimalist. Incorporate this chair into your space and settle into autumn's embrace.

The handmade Rowan Dining Table in Walnut elevates espresso tones through exceptional craftsmanship. Its solid ash construction with warm walnut finish creates an elegant Scandinavian silhouette, perfect for layering deeper brown accents. Pair it with the Holbeck Chair, whose matching walnut finish and gracefully curved edges celebrate natural wood grain with contemporary ease.

The Ashfield Round Coffee Table in Weathered shows how brown shades harmonise beautifully with other natural materials. Its fluted solid oak base in warm timber tones connects perfectly to an espresso colour palette, whilst the ribbed texture and brushed brass plinth add visual interest. This piece proves that chocolate and espresso hues need not dominate to make an impact. Sometimes they simply provide the perfect supporting note.

For those drawn to luxurious espresso tones, the Nordic-inspired Florence Leather Dining Chair offers understated elegance. Upholstered in soft Mocha leather, a gentler take on a brown colour palette, it pairs beautifully with warm walnut wood framing. The curved, ergonomic silhouette balances comfort with clean Scandinavian lines, whilst the sumptuous leather invites tactile appreciation. It's a piece that naturally encourages lingering over autumn meals, where rich materials and thoughtful design create the perfect seasonal sanctuary.
