Can you post the couch? Or describe the style you're going for?

Sure, here is the couch. I tend to like relaxed looks. This is for a guest room. I have been told my style is transitional/eclectic. I live by the beach and like coastal stuff.

I also tend to decorate in neutrals and then accessorize in color.

the second, in terms of colors only

second choice-number one

third-number three(which I have..and know it's washable..are others washable as well?)

agree with suzy the style(ob both the couch and the room) should play a role as well when choosing

For a bedroom, I like the tufted one on the right. The texture gives a little interest and looks comfy. If it was an office or family room, I might go with the brown, but that texture doesn't seem as welcoming. Its a great looking sofa.

suzyq53 - It is a guest room and this is a pull out couch - so it isn't quite a bedroom. Still the same opinion? When we do not have guests, then the room really isn't used, although I think my husband is hoping to start using it as a place to lounge, etc.

aprilneverends - I assumed they were all washable! I guess I will go double check! :)

ah, we posted simultaneously

the third is brighter white..not very stark, yet still. the first is a bit more muted-works a tiiiny bit better with your existing colors. But you can style the third easy enough(that's what I did..I didn't choose the covers, but inherited them with the daybed). It is pleasant to touch

I really love the middle one (at least from what I see on my monitor) but here you're already choosing between light and dark...depends what you're driven to more

oceanedge do doublecheck:)

aprilneverends - It's funny because you are saying all of the things I've been thinking. I kind of like the dark, but the one to the left seems to go well with my colors (best, I think) and it is kind of a small room so I think the lighter color might go better - but there is the issue of dirt, and the tufted one looks comfortable but is a brighter white and doesn't go quite as well but I can style it. That's why I came here - because I was a bit stuck! :)

aprilneverends - I'm so glad you said that! It looks like the darker color is dry clean only, while the others are machine washable. Not a complete deal breaker, but less desirable.

Do you have a photo of your sofa?

see..already the choice is narrowed:)

I have somewhere yes..only it's a daybed..and I covered it(speaking of styling)..still with white but other color too

give me some time to find it though, ok? my pictures are a mess

sorry..taken right after we moved in(had to put it together real fast-the guests were coming in a week.

also the wall color is incorrect-it actually the curtain background color. hence the reason for these curtains. I had totally different plans for that room-knowing the daybed is brighter white I wanted milk chocolate wall, and blue and pink accents..

but my DH got cold feet and diluted my milk chocolate until it became that ecru..lol

(it's guest/MIL room..he was afraid his Mom won't appreciate darker room...I had to wave good bye to all my plans)

other side

(the art got all switched)

now that daybed is not my style at all, like at all..yet it is the most versatile for the room's purpose, having a trundle, and is ridicuously comfortable

and it cost us 400 dollars with slipcovers, bolsters(that I didn't use since they're huge), and pretty good mattresses. Craigslist.

whatever was my style and good reviews and quality-after long research, I understood would be 3K..

so decided to work around this one.

ah, and it's a bit less messy now since I started folding the fabric on the coverlet inwards. it's quuen size so a bit too big.

I couldn't change the arms of course..that are slightly warmer..like in your first example-so I added brigher white pillows..two of them, I already had, one, I bought to enhance the white(and just because I love the designer. Have mugs by him, plates by him, another pillow by him..hard to resist))

Thanks aprilneverends! The daybed has a very different look than a couch. I didn't realize it. You really covered it up :). I will probably only put a few pillows on and maybe a throw.... And, you did get a GREAT deal. We bought the couch a long while back. We had a red slipcover on it for years and my husband always hated it. It has since faded and we had to replace the carpet so it is time to change it up.

I will hope for a few more opinions and then make a final selection. I think I know which way I am headed but would like to hear some more.

If my husband was going to lounge there, I think I'd want washable.

oh, of course, yours is a couch..couple pillows and a throw will go a long way you don't need more

mine is a visually bulky daybed in a very small room. that has to be a workhorse. and is different from everything else I own.

so I repurposed the curtains from the other room and bought this coverlet on eBay, and somehow made the colors related to the rest of the house..somewhat.

the idea is the same though. fabrics and textures are your friends..

(it IS easy to wash these brighter white covers. others I don't have thus didn't try. )

OK - so with what we have discussed - what would you opinions be now, suzyq53 and aprilneverends? Best color match and most practical as well.

Well you really can't go wrong with the plain muslin, classic slipcover. That's the safest choice. But the tufted is a little unexpected and the brighter color pops your white trim. Do you want subdued or cheery?

Cheery! :)

I think the wall is a soft green? I like them in the order they are shown, with the left one being my first choice, then 2 and 3.

Yes, My3dogs, the walls are a soft green. Thanks!

Subdued

suzyq53 - that is awesome! While I say cheery, I tend to go more subdued :). Love the examples you found!!!!!! How did you search those out so quickly?

I vote the first option, on the left. It's classic and easy to spruce up with pillows and a throw. :) Good luck!

Left, it's light, not stark, relaxed, and washable. Lots of options with pillows and accessories.

I also vote for the one on the left. It looks neutral and easy to accessorize.

Thanks everyone! I ordered the one on the left :).

Ocean, can you give specifics on the carpet? Looking for carpet for my basement.

Hi ratherbesewing. It was a remnant from a local mom and pop carpet shop. It is a berber, excellent quality, but that's about all I know unfortunately :(.

My vote is #3.

where did you find slip covers for a sofa sleeper? Or am I missing something?

Very nice!

looks wonderful!
