How to choose the color of the sofa for the living room: the most successful and fashionable solutions

The sofa in the living room is the most important thing, perhaps even more important than the TV. When choosing upholstered furniture, you need to think not only about the shape.

Don't make a mistake with the color of your upholstered furniture, otherwise sooner or later you'll have to change something.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to choose the color of a sofa.

Where to start

1. Before you go shopping, evaluate the color palette in the room.

It's good if the color of the walls and floor is neutral. Then the upholstered furniture can be an accent.

But this does not mean that you can choose bright furniture. In the case of the living room, it is just the opposite.

The color of the sofa should be restrained, noble, light.

2. Be sure to evaluate the free space and lighting in the living room.

If it is a cramped and gloomy room, then the ideal choice is white and beige, as well as a light gray sofa or other shades.

3. Be sure to consider that the upholstery will get dirty.

It is better to choose vandal-proof material if there are small children or pets in the house.

4. Remember that the sofa should match the main or additional shade.

The recommended proportion is 60 to 30 to 10, of which the majority is the main color (walls), 30% is the additional color (furniture), and the remaining 10% is decor.

Fashionable color

1. Designers advise paying attention to beige. It is considered universal and looks light and cozy.

2. Gray is also considered a basic color, has a lot of shades and looks great in a minimalist interior, as well as Scandi or loft.

3. Brown is the classic's choice. The interior seems warm, cozy and luxurious at the same time.

4. Green encourages a calm rest and at the same time will become a bright accent.

5. And if you choose blue, you can add coolness and depth to the interior.

6. As for fashion trends, terracotta is currently at the peak of popularity.

It is believed that furniture in this color will not go out of fashion anytime soon.
