Guest Picks: 29 Gloriously Colorful Sofas for Every Style
Wake up your living room or den with a boldly colorful couch to match your taste and mood
I love to use colorful sofas. Someone once asked me if it took nerve, and, well, the answer is yes and no. If you choose a color you love and treat it like a different version of a neutral, there is nothing to fear. The colorful sofa has made a big comeback in the past couple of years: It was once only thought of as part of the vintage lexicon, but now it is modern again. I've picked out some affordable sofas that are a moderate investment, so it won't be a tragedy when you want to change the color again. And you know you will want to, since you share the healthy and fun obsession of decorating with me! — Valorie from The Visual Vamp

Emerald green is the color of the year, and this emerald sofa from Room & Board is perfect.

Vig Furniture Chloe Multicolored Fabric Sectional Sofa
You can have every color in one sofa! This sectional is very much in the style of Roche-Bobois, but it is not done by them. The price of this one is still quite steep, but significantly less than the real deal.
