Your sofa will determine the style and feel of your living room because it will be the focal point. Choose the proper color scheme and, by extension, upholstery will help to define the space’s interior design. Don’t be concerned! This does not necessitate the use of a professional decorator. With the appropriate suggestions and an eye for balanced color selections and comfort, anyone can put together a sofa and loveseat living room set. Here are some of the best tips for helping you choose the right upholstery color!
Avoid Trends
Sofas are an investment that you should treasure and aspire to maintain for at least 7 to 15 years due to their normally high price. As a result, we recommend avoiding trendy statement accessories. You can be stuck with a pricey mistake if the trend fades. While you can pay respect to trends that appeal to you, we recommend focusing your efforts on smaller pieces (such as throw pillows or accent pillows) that will be easier to replace when the trend fades.
Monochrome Matching
You can’t go wrong with a monochrome color palette if you’re not sure what hue to go with after taking stock of your furnishings and décor. Monochrome matching (i.e., different hues and tones of the same color) is a terrific technique to make a living area look coherent and put together. This will help folks who live in a tiny space make a small living room appear larger than it is.
Vivid Contrast
If a monochrome palette is too boring for you, you might use a bright color palette with vivid contrasts. You can use bright colors, such as jewel tones, to accentuate brilliant visual contrasts between items in this way. It’s worth noting that this will work better in larger places where you may experiment with color, light, shape, and proportion more freely than in a smaller living environment. Yellow, crimson, teal, or blue sofas are some good options for people who choose this path.
Consider Texture and Materials
It’s important to realize that the fabric or leather upholstery you choose will have a big impact on your color scheme. A leather sofa, for example, is more likely to come in neutral hues, but a velvet sofa is more likely to come in the vibrant jewel tones we discussed before. Additionally, you can find natural or synthetic fabric sofas in a wide range of colors.
