Design Ideas

<p>Believe it or not, the colour of your sofa is equally important to a living room as the element itself. The colour palette for a sofa is vast, but choosing the right one is the key. A sofa just by its colour choice can make a lot of difference in the overall visual perception and visual weight of the space. People today are opting for colours as neutral as brown and grey to as funky and pop as neon. If you too are confused about the ways to make the right colour choice for your sofa, then the following article will help you with 9 designer tricks to choose the right colour for your living room sofa –</p>
<h2><strong>1. Take Note of ‘The Existing Decor’</strong></h2>
<p>If you are moving into an existing <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/3406-what-are-best-ideas-renovating-your-living-room" target="_blank">setup or remodeling your living room </a>with most of the elements intact, then it becomes pertinent to take note of the existing decor. The Sofa though an important element in the room, its colour should somehow complement the other elements of the living room. In lieu of changing to a new colour don’t forget the old elements.</p>
<p>If you are setting up a new living room from scratch, even then pay careful attention to the other elements of the space too to make the right colour choice for your sofa.</p>

<h2><strong>2. Take Note of the Material</strong></h2>
<p>Material is an important part of the sofa experience. Not only does it contribute to the overall looks of the sofa, but it also enables you to choose the colour. For instance, if you want a leather sofa in your living room, look for the colour options that look good on leather, in line with the context of your decor. A material choice will lead the path to the right choice of colour for your sofa.</p>
<p>In a dilemma to choose the right material? Let's read this <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/3413-leather-sofa-vs-fabric-sofa-which-suits-you-best" target="_blank">Leather Sofa vs. Fabric Sofa- Which Suits You best?</a></p>

<h2><strong>3. Weigh-in the Tonal Variation – Light or Dark</strong></h2>
<p>When choosing a colour, the first step towards narrowing down colour is to be clear in the head about the tonal quality of the colour – light or dark. Many a time this choice is lead by personal preferences and other times by the immediate material finishes (like the colour of walls and floors/rugs). Both light and dark colours have their sets of pros and cons, it is on you now to choose the right one. For instance, a dark sofa might give an impression of occupying more space than it does and a light sofa comes with issues of staining and the likes. Though this is purely context-based, and a choice can be made according to the personal stance of the user.</p>

<h2><strong>4. Take note of the Daylight Exposure</strong></h2>
<p>The colour of the sofa is also determined by the amount of daylight exposure the space has. This is because the daylight exposure results in the wear of the sofa in the form of fading. The trick is to go in for a little darker tones of the colour you envision, this way the gradual fading of the upholstery would not affect the charm of your sofa over a period of time.</p>

<h2><strong>5. Take Note of the Usage Habits</strong></h2>
<p>How would your sofa be used? For a formal setting or informal one? Will it be used regularly or occasionally? Are some of the questions that you need to ponder upon while looking for the right colour for your sofa. The usage habits would help in determining the right colour for your sofa rather instantly. The colour would also vary depending on the members of the house – kids and in many cases pets.</p>

<h2><strong>6. Take Note of Reflecting YOUR STYLE</strong></h2>
<p>A Sofa, its style and colour, according to me reflects your taste and style. So, choose a colour that reflects your style, the colour with which you resonate the most with. It is you who is going to spend most of the time on that sofa, so it should be a colour that you feel is yours, your inkling. If bright and vibrant colours resonate with you and you are comfortable with having them in your living room, then so be it!</p>

<h2><strong>7. Take Note of the Style of the Sofa</strong></h2>
<p>At times the colour of the sofa is determined by the style the sofa belongs too. If you are someone who is going for a <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/3125-11-most-amazing-modern-sofa-design-ideas-top-designers" target="_blank">modernist sofa</a> or a sofa pertaining to a specific style, check the colour palette the style supports. Not all colours go with all styles, take note of this and then make the choice.</p>

<h2><strong>8. Work with Contrasts</strong></h2>
<p>If you want to introduce drama in your living room or if you are in love with an odd colour (people might not think of it as a colour for sofa), worry not, here is where you work with contrasts. A room might be designed in a monotone or an earthy palette, a pop of contrast is never a bad idea. Moreover, it acts as the focal element in the room. Never be afraid to work with contrasts (but in moderated percentage).</p>

<h2><strong>9. Multicoloured on Your Mind?</strong></h2>
<p>A multicoloured sofa is not at all a bad option for people who like a mix of colours, textures and patterns. In case the decor is neutral, one can even go in for a multicoloured palette for their sofa. It can be a mix of soft pastel shades or bright colours, depending on the personal choice of the users. A mixed bag of complementing colours, textures and patterns can help to add vibrance to the living room. Moreover, it might be a change from the usual solids of the modern world!</p>

<h2><strong>Bonus -  When in Doubt! Go Neutral!</strong></h2>
<p>This is certainly true. If you are not able to decide on a specific colour, opt for neutrals. Some people are naturally attracted to neutral tones and refrain from bright colours. Neutral colour palette hosts an array of earthy colours. And if truth be told, neutral colours work perfectly with almost all settings.</p>

<p>A living room is a central space that is both intimate and public. In most households, it is the most used space throughout the day. From weaving memories to hosting guests, a living room sees it all. While the decor of a living room is important, its lighting is also an important aspect. There are various methods that one can employ to <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/2788-sparkling-ideas-brighten-your-spaces" target="_blank">brighten up their living rooms</a>. With the dearth of square footage these days, the floor spaces already multitask! Lighting is one aspect that we can easily offload the floor area. This can be done by employing ceiling lights to brighten up the living room. The ceiling lights can be chosen based on the type of lighting – accent, ambient or task. The type of<a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/2932-quintessential-lighting-living-rooms" target="_blank"> lighting desired for a living room</a> is a factor that contributes to the selection of lighting fixtures.

<h2><strong>Amp up the Charm with a Chandelier!</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Flush Lights- </strong>Perfect way to Brighten Up your Living Room</h2>
<p>Flush lights are ceiling mount lights that provide for ambient lighting. These days flush lights are available across various lighting intensities, light temperature and shapes. The flush lights are munt on the ceiling and are barely visible as an added element. They merge perfectly with the ceiling to give a nice finish to the ceiling. Moreover, these are a perfect way to brighten your living room when it has a low ceiling or a false ceiling has been added to the space.</p>

Depending on the kind of effect you want the pendants can be chosen and installed accordingly. In certain cases, the pendants can even replace chandeliers to provide the space with a focal centerpiece. The number of pendants to be used would depend on the requirement of the space in addition to the design of the fixture. A bunch of pendants can be paired in a corner to create an accent in the space.</p>

<h2><strong>Create a Lighting TRACK with Track Lights</strong></h2>
<p>Normally, track lights are used for task lighting or to create a focus over art pieces or paintings, however, a group of track lights when placed strategically on the ceiling can help in providing ambient lighting in a living room. This is an offbeat practice of brightening living room spaces. These would also work well with high ceilings. A combination of track lights can also help in giving light in varied directions by adjusting the angle of the lamp heads. These are a good option when looking for lighting up the minimalistic decor.</p>

<h2><strong>Light Up the Ceilings with Uplighters</strong></h2>
<p>Uplighters are a nice way to provide ambient lighting in a space. These provide a glow to space, thus brightening it up instantly. In many formats, uplighters are also known as inverted pendant lights. These illuminate the ceiling, thus creating a well-lit space through the reflection of light from the ceiling surface. To ensure more reflectability, one should try to have a neutral-toned ceiling rather than a dark tone. These come in various shapes, sizes and styles. Choose the one that suits your living space, if opting for this kind of lighting.</p>

These are innovative ways to perform two functions in one go, air circulation and lighting up space. The lighting fixture attached to the fan is available in varying light intensities. The user can select the model of the fan that best suits the space. Some products offer an artistic appeal to the fan cum ceiling lights, which can very well be opted to brighten up your living room.</p>

<p>Like you can feel in the picture above how confidently each piece of décor stands in harmony with each other- the shelves with a patterned backdrop, the art pieces, the mirrored table reflecting the elements in, the Chester lounge sofa, the throw cushions, the side table lamp- all of them perfectly rhyming in a contemporary tune.</p>

<h2><strong>Classic Country Style/ Antique Chic</strong></h2>
<p>This style breeds royalty and style in the décor and transports the eyes to a classic era. It is largely defined by extensive use of curves and textures to achieve a welcoming and luxurious space.  The carved wooden tables, angular legs, ornamented mirrors paired with geometric and floral printed upholstery with hand-woven rugs really steal the show and create a space that breathes elegance and grandeur. Like you can see in the picture below.</p>
<p>Here, we share a beautiful example of classic decor <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/2781-luxury-living-room-decor-ideas-golden-touch" target="_blank">Luxury Living Room Decor Ideas With Golden Touch</a></p>

<p>This style is ideal for large and double height lobbies and living rooms with a lot of thoughts being put into minutest details, for a small room this style may not go really well and make space look small and cluttered.</p>
<h2><strong>Earthy and Rustic</strong></h2>
<p>If you want to have a raw and industrial look, this is precisely your style. It represents honesty and earthiness of the elements which define this style. Let me try to put the definition in words with the help of picture below:</p>

<p>Everything in this picture flaunts their character of being natural and unornamented. The center table carved out of raw wood, the side table inspired from the tree trunk, the stone bench wearing no artificial shape, the tripod lamp, the bare rug and a beautiful sand grey lounge just completing the look.</p>
<p>It is actually a play of materials in their raw form denoting the purity and simplicity. Here is another example of the earthy and rustic theme.</p>

<p>It won’t be wrong to say that colors bring spring to any space. From pastels to patterns, from brights to lights, this scheme induces confidence and happiness in a living room. Bold Colours bring energy and life in the décor and stimulates the interaction happening in the room.</p>
<p>Look how perfectly the colors are blending in the picture below to give a refreshing and lively ambiance to the living room.</p>

<h2><strong>House of Black and White</strong></h2>
<p>Intelligent and creative use of black and white colors along with their tints and hues make the entire space very comfortable and pleasant. It imbibes maturity to the décor and we get a space with which we can never get bored of. The combination of these two universal colors does make a statement in the living room and help achieve that ‘marvelous first impression’ of the house.</p>
<p>You can see a great use of these colors in contemporary style as reflected in the pictures below.</p>

<h2><strong>Classy Contrast</strong></h2>
<p>If you are one of those types, who get bored of something very easily and want to keep the décor matching your myriad moods, this style is for you. The style reflects an addition of an extra element which can break the monotony of the space, it can be introducing an extra color to the upholstery or placing some vibrant throws. You can also play with replenishable things like cushions, rugs, art pieces and bring that extra spice to the décor. Have a look at some inspirations below.</p>
