It would be understandable if the phrase 'purple sofa' were enough to make you recoil. Following years of trends favoring beige, gray, and white, even just the idea of committing to such a bold and conceivably challenging color simply isn't on the cards (or sofa) for most people. But apparently, for a growing number, it is.
Yes, purple has been dubbed one of the biggest sofa color trends to watch this season. According to interior designer Greg Natale, the explanation is twofold: "The rise of neutral backdrops that call for a bold focal point, and the return of cushy, 1970s-inspired forms," he says. "We’ve seen a shift from colorful rugs paired with cream or gray lounge seating to neutral floors and rugs with sofas as the vehicle for color."
