How to Decorate with a Bright Blue Couch
Hey everyone,
I have already posted about this but just now are me and my bf really trying to figure our living room out.
Any pointers on how to decorate with the blue sofa?
I am ok with getting rid of the blue armchair and the faded pink-ish chair. (the dresser by the window will be moved)
I was thinking white or grey accents... then i saw a picture with a bohemian style living room. The coffee table was wood, there were wood chairs with white fur on them, then the rug was colourful - red, purple, some blue.
I need some guidance on how to decorate the space and take advantage of the bright blue couch!
And its a bit older school couch, so not sure what style of chair to play with.
Please help!!

How would you decorate with a Silver Sage couch?
Comments (1)Well I have RH Silver Sage in my master bedroom -- and honestly believe that any accent color looks wonderful with it! Quite remarkable for any color! For the current summer season -- I do love cool silver accents, or fresh white. For a dash of color for the season (and therefore easily changed) -- perhaps a chouple of small pillows in orange -- and some orange flowers in a couple of fresh white vases?

Comments (3)I’m not a designer but I think your instincts are right. If everything else is super light I agree the sofa will look too dark and heavy. I think a light, warm neutral paint would be great, and accents of blue would make that gold sofa sing. I think your existing neutral walls look okay, actually. What if you just tried painting the red accent wall a nice mid tone blue?...See MoreHow to decorate around a check couch and not look country?
Comments (96)Nice room. Looks inviting as is. Getting someone to do upholstery work is expensive. A local auto/window and interior fabric repair place might know others that will sew covers for home furnishings from whom you might get additional estimates. Like the secretary angled in the corner. Would probably consider removing the kitchen/dining objects and replacing them with items more living room oriented -- framed photographs of places or people and/or other family treasures; then, since the doors have glass, close them. Like the niche near the door with the vertical art. Would want a snake plant in the pot on the plant stand near the window. Solid colors for throw pillows and other fabric furnishings -- unless you have a very specific theme you particularly like such as geometric design or floral or forest or beach. Larger lamp shade for the table lamp -- white for all shades. Probably full curtains or drapes rather than cafe curtains. Use mini blinds inside the window frames for privacy/light control and curtain or drape panels on a wider than window rod that will cover the side frame of the window with your sheer curtains in between or on an inner rod....See More
6 years agoYour inspiration photo is terrific. For some more ideas, google or search Pinterest for "blue velvet sofa". Here's another direction to go in, but I like your version better : ) and I think it's easier to achieve,

6 years agoI LOVE your inspiration photo! It's great when people embrace bold colors like that sofa and aren't afraid to mix it with other elements. Don't be afraid of it and make everything else neutral. I love the fur on the chairs and the colorful rug. If you go bohemian, it's all about layering textures and natural materials, so think wood, leather, fur, wool, woven, plants.
