Need Help On Choosing Couch Color

Alexandra Morgan

4 years ago

I’m purchasing a custom couch and need help on choosing the fabric color. My condo has the standard off-white walls and neutral curtains and the doors and kitchen cabinets are a beautiful dark wood. I’m also planning on having gold accents. I would like the couch to have some color so it doesn’t disappear into the walls but I can’t decide between grey or neutral (not sure if that’s even what these colors are) because I’m not sure which would match the wood and gold best together. I’m leaning towards light grey but would like the community’s advice because I’m far from an interior designer. I’ve listed the fabric colors I’m between and also the cabinets and the gold accent. TIA for your help!

I have a couch that is the S.06 color with neutral walls and gold accents in my home and I love it! The contrast is really nice because the furniture can stand on its own and not blend so much into the palette. I have also added some deep indigo velvet curtains and some pillows on the couch to match, throwing in some cream and grey dec pillows, too, to bring it all together.

hermustangs, if you'll read the "new to GW" thread below on this page (or if it's left this page by the time you read this, search for it) you'll find explicit instructions on how to post photos; very easy to do. I think you'll get many more responses if you include photos. I'm not good enough with colors personally to try to answer your questions without seeing the rooms. Good luck!

I am transitioning from a brown leather sectional of 13+ years to a deep blue -- not a true navy, that I just got told will deliver Wednesday! If you are a blue person, I think that woud be the way to go. It can be hard to find a blue leather that isn't such a dark navy that you worry it will look black at least some of the time or too bright to work in most traditional/transitional settings. Do you have access to Moore & Giles leathers? They have some nice blues. Mine is Kipling Dolpin, a deep blue grey, (I have two large dogs, a pool and lots of flower beds in the backyard -- I couldn't doo cream or white either).

I'd keep what you have. It looks fine and you do allow your big dog to sleep on it, so why spend money on a new one which will quickly smell of "dog". My dogs are on my furniture but they're small. When I had a Golden, she would wait until I left and head for the living room sofa with down cushions. When she heard the garage door go up, she'd just down, but when I got inside, it was still warm where she had been and those down cushions showed her guilt! I solved this problem by putting her in the kitchen with a gate. I really did not want a dog that big on my furniture. The small ones? Well, they're lap dogs but they are also not as dirty and they don't have a doggy odor.
