What color sofa to choose for the living room: there is a rule that cannot be broken

Want to buy a sofa for your living room?

Be sure to consider the importance of the color of the piece of furniture you choose.

“I’ll buy the sofa whose appearance I like the most” is not quite the right tactic.

It is possible that with this approach you will buy furniture that is beautiful but does not go well with the background: the interior of the living room will be ruined.

When choosing a sofa for a room, you need to follow this rule: "You need to look for furniture of a certain color. And the color depends on what result you need to get."

The goals, as emphasized by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design Yulia Tychino, can be the following:

Maintain harmony in the living room interior

Are you completely satisfied with the design of the room? Do you need the sofa for practical purposes only? Do you need to change the interior?

Then buy furniture whose color is in the same “tone” as the color of the walls.

In other words, buy a sofa that is slightly darker or slightly lighter than the background.

In this case, the new detail will fit into the interior without any problems: everything will look harmonious.

Don't make an already small living room tiny

If the room is cramped, then you need to choose a sofa that will not “eat up” the space.

Choose furniture whose color completely matches the color of the walls.

In this case, the sofa will "dissolve" into the interior. Visually, the space will remain almost the same as it was.

And if you replace an old sofa with a new one, it is possible that the effect of visual expansion of space will arise.

"Revive" the interior of the living room

And if you find the room's decor "boring," choose a bright sofa that will become the focal point.

But be careful: such a bright detail should be the only one in the room.
