If you're in the market for a brand new sofa, picking the color is the fun part, although it can be a difficult decision. It's tempting to play it safe and go for a muted or neutral shade that has timeless appeal, but your couch also presents an opportunity to have some fun. It's the focal point of the room, so making a statement with the fabric stops it from fading into the background and can really speak to your personality.
For Adriana Chetty, senior designer of Cuppett Kilpatrick Architecture + Interior Design, your couch color should be impacted by the wider aesthetic of the room. 'I’d like to see sofa textiles that are influenced by the context of the room; analogous to the room’s paint colors, or matching a thread in a rug or brushstroke in a piece of art,' she says. 'An intentional selection that compliments always feels most thoughtful.'
