Design Around Statement Sofa

There are so many reasons why buying a sofa in a neutral tone is a wise choice. They are easy to design and you probably won’t regret your purchase a week later. Statement sofas? You are the opposite. However, there is a certain thrill you get from a bold, patterned, or colorful sofa that you can’t get from anything gray.

The challenge is to design your space so that the sofa stands out but doesn’t overwhelm the rest of your living room. But rest assured, it can be done. So, if you dream of a sofa that is far from safe, find out how it works.

Make it a focal point

Repeat the shadow

The same light turquoise of this mid-century sofa is reflected in the carpet of the Navajo area and makes a strong color statement in the otherwise neutral space. Image about home therapy

Balance a bold color

Decorating with pink can quickly cross the line into overdone girls’ territory. So try to make it the only strong hue in the room. Image via home and garden UK

Highlight a work of art

Being too matchy-matchy is boring, but highlighting the striking shade of green on this painting amplifies the color in the best possible way. Image via House to Home UK

Go wild with patterns

For the really brave, forget about subtle mixing with bold. Instead, own your eclectic style with an unexpected combination of patterns, colors, and artwork. Image about my domain
