I had this same problem. We bought a HUGE u-shaped sectional in brown so dirt would not show too much. Then it seemed to overwhelm the living room. I've managed to break up the brown by adding other large furniture items in light toned neutrals like white, light grey, beige, and tan (rug, curtains, coffee table). By doing this I can now accessorize with any colors. I have chosen aqua, blues and yellows in muted tones. I've also eliminated any other dark browns from the room. I even painted my dining set a light grey (Martha Stewart - Grey Squirrel) and re-upholstered the dining chairs in a bold blue and white fabric.
