ideas for a living room with a black couch....
Comments (8)OK, you say you want to create a warm & homey feel, and that you prefer a classic, feminine look to one that's cool & contemporary. Fine. And yet, Cool & Contemporary is the first phrase that comes to mind when I hear that the only furniture in somebody's place is black leather & black metal-- followed closely by the phrase Divorced Dad. Either way, I really can't see how that stuff is "a great start" if you're trying to for a look that's warm/ homey/feminine. Could you sell that stuff & start over with things that will actually support your look, rather than weigh it down? I know that the throw-it-all-overboard approach probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but sometimes, it's the most sensible--and the simplest--solution. It's hard to do waltz in combat boots....See MoreWhat color rug and sofa for my living room?
Comments (6)Beautiful room. I can see many colors doing great here. Tan, sand, camel, red, pale pink, emerald, royal blue, aubergine, butter yellow, light gray.. Black too-if you prefer something leggy and visually light. I agree-it'd be easier to tie the choice of the sofa with your other color choices, as in a rug you love. Or, if not much there yet-pick the sofa in the color that speaks to you the most. And go from there. That's potentially-less successful way, but that's what I did when I did not know better, and also didn't have what to sit on:) and I was pretty happy with the results. (truth to be told-still can't find this rug..)) Colorful sofas are much easier to work into the different color schemes, than it seems. Even when you repaint in, say, several years-most of the colors will still work. Just make sure you really love that color....See Moreliving room is painted canvas tan what colors for other rooms?
Comments (2)It really should spin upon what else are in those spaces. Your paint colour choices work best if they harmonise or contrast with key elements in those rooms such as flooring, furnishings, rugs etc. and partner the available light for a real cohesive feel. We can make suggestions of colours which may sit well alongside Canvas Tan but that’s not really the same,,,...See MoreLiving Room Sofa and Pillows Ideas
Comments (5)What other colors do you have in the room? What colors do you like? The pillows that you are showing are very neutral as is the sofa. You can go many ways with color, etc. Are you looking to just match the pillow? You don't have to just match it, unless you'd prefer to; you can bring in other color to add contrast, interest, and/or blend with other elements in the space. Do you have any other chairs in the room? A rug? If so, what colors are in those other pieces? More information would be helpful. It would also help to see a picture of the room, if possible. Off the top of my head, I would say that a solid colored pillow in a plum/eggplant color in velvet would be stunning with your pillows + sofa color and style. But I have no idea if that would go with the rest of your decor, or if you like those colors! So, just throwing that out there as one of many possibilities. I am not necessarily recommending loading the sofa up with a ton of pillows.:) But just wanted to show the color possibilities with the plum, and I would do velvet....See Moreeld6161
