Tips on Decorating A Dark Sofa
Hey everyone!
This topic was recently brought to my attention and I decided to write about it in more detail. How to decorate a dark sofa? This question can be answered in two different ways. Do you want your sofa to be the focal point of the room? In most cases, the largest piece of furniture is the focal point of the room. If you are refreshing you home, the sofa may be kept for financial reasons or reasons that are personal to the homeowner. Once you decide if the dark sofa will be the focal point, we can begin decorating,
Sofa Not the focal point
The best tip in this situation is to blend the Sofa into the design.
Use pillow covers or throw pillows that are similar to the color of the sofa. You can use different shades of the same color, the darkest being to the back of the sofa and lightest throw pillow to the front.. The similar tone throw pillows will push the sofa into the background of the design. You can also use this same concept with throw blankets.
Utilize deep contrast in other parts of the living room, like the TV mantel, area rug or accent chairs. This will help draw attention to different areas of the living room.
Sofa as Focal Point
If you are in love with your sofa and want to show it off, here are some simple ways to decorate a dark sofa.
The keyword here is Contrast! Use deep contrast when choosing throw pillows and throw blankets. Keep this simple so it doesn't become too busy or distracting.This will draw attention to the sofa and it will become the focal point of the room.
Keep the other decor elements in the living room neutral and simple.
If you are unsure about color selection, utilize a color wheel to add complimentary colors that provides contrast.
