Palette cleanser: Choosing the colour of your sofa

 

Investing in a sofa to complete the look and layout of your living room is one of the biggest home decor decisions you’ll ever make. As one of the largest pieces of furniture you’ll own, your sofa will also influence other future decor choices, such as the paint colour of your walls or the type of carpeting or flooring that it will rest on. The team at Carmelo Delia – one of the most trustworthy suppliers of sofas in Malta – takes a look at how and why the colour of your sofa can transform the mood of your room completely. 

 

1. Blues and greens

Life is already stressful enough – so what better way to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere to greet you after a hard day’s work than by adorning the centrepiece  living space in cool, peaceful colours? If you choose a blue sofa, consider creating an aesthetically- pleasing contrast by adding orange accents or objects such as paintings and lamps around the room. 

 

2. Browns

Always a classic and never out of fashion, you can never go wrong with brown. Not only is it one of the best neutral building blocks in design, but it also helps to bring stability and gravity to a space. Browns help to set a resilient and secure mood within a room, and can tie together a classically masculine look when designing a bachelor pad. 

 

3. Grey and taupe

Shades of grey and taupe are known to evoke an organic, practical and down-to-earth feel to a space, as well as lending a classy and dignified appearance to your sofa. Cooler-toned spaces tend to be best served by grey fabrics, while warmer tones contrast nicely with the brown notes in taupe. 

 

4. Black

Opt for a black sofa if you’re looking for colour that exudes strength, authority and elegance! Black is an excellent marker of taste, reflecting confidence and style. A black sofa also works well as a blank canvas – you can dress it up with accessories or slip covers of any colour. 

 

Bonus tips

Neutral shades match any room: Think creams, grays or navy blues – you can always jazz up your sofa with the use of a few pillows or throws to add a pop of colour. Location is important: If your sofa is facing a large window, the sunlight might fade the fabric over time. Once again, grays and creams are ideal as they will not fade as noticeably. Last of all, think about your personality: Solid, neutral colours are best if you’re the sort of person who often redecorates, as they go with pretty much anything.
