tan sofa what colours go with it?
We have blackbutt flooring and have purchased this tan leather sofa in the image below. Will that be too much brown? what colour rug can we put underneath to break up the browns and do any shades of grey go with tan?

Show me your traditional neutral (beige/tan) sofas
Comments (8)jyyanks, I love the style of your sofa and color, but I think I want something a little darker tan. THat is also the color direction I am looking at going in for the time being to coordinate with my DR and Kitchen. It also looks like a good color to switch out a few accessories and go into another "new look" in the future. Kiko, I have been looking at Clayton Marcus, Temple, and Smith Brothers (a very good quality, reasonably priced, not well advertised). With these brands I can get a sofa and LS for around $3,000 - $3,500. I will look at Lee also. I have found a few fabrics that I like which are almost too golden tan, many have a red thread woven into them, which I like but could limit me in the future. I have learned my lesson over the years (finally) about limiting myself to certain colors! Anyone else have suggestions/inspiration pics??

Comments (2)You might find looking at area rugs and pillows that have maroon helps inspire a color palette. Personally, I would look at a sofa that is neutral, a warm flax or light taupe, nothing dark, nothing too cool with the two warm tones you have. Is the pile low enough that you could add an area rug in the LR?...See MoreWhat colours will go with my couch?
Comments (0)Hi. I’m really struggling to decide what colours go with my couch. We are keeping the couch but changing everything else. What colour should I paint the walls and what other colours can I bring in? I want something warm and cosy....See More

FYI: Maison Simons has great pillows at very reasonable prices.

2 years agoThank you for the suggestions everyone. We finally got our sofa delivered so I thought I would add photos of it in our space. Included in our lounge with some of the kitchen in the back ground so you can see the other colours in the room. Tan sofa, Blackbutt flooring, beige resin kitchen chairs teamed with concrete table with American oak legs and white kitchen.
We will have white sheer curtains on the windows as well which will soften the area. Just waiting on the curtains to be ready.
im reluctant to go “too light” with a rug because we have a young family not sure I can keep it clean.
let me know what you think guys. Light grey is growing on me but still unsure :)

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoYou really have a blank slate and I think the rug should only be selected after you define the feel you want in the entire space. Suggest looking at inspiration pictures. Choosing the right rug, as well as furniture and accessories will be much easier and you’ll end up with a well thought out room, meeting all your needs. Think big picture first.
I really like the earthy color combination below with your sectional.
Then concentrate on rug and accessorizing.
