Sofa Colour... Go Bold or Neutral?
I don't even know where to start with this question.. I think it's a lot of questions rolled into one!
The space we have to work with is an open plan living, kitchen and dining space. We're unsure at the moment as to go for a more modern feel white gloss and oak furniture or more traditional solid oak furniture - but I feel (and maybe I'm wrong) we can help dictate our decision by deciding on a sofa colour.
Our colour scheme is grey, blue and orange. I am (or was originally) planning to add the blue and orange in with easily changeable things like accessories and wall colours.
I have attached a photo of our carpet choice (it is the light grey one). At first I thought a grey sofa would be nice because if our colour scheme changes the sofa won't necessarily need to be changed, but will the sofa blend in too much? The walls will be light grey too or a greyish-white! But my partner has suggested we go bold and get an orange sofa and I have to say im warming to the idea but the sensible side to me is screaming "noooo!"
What to do?
I think I'm over thinking this.

Graphite colour sofa, colours to go
Comments (15)Depending on the look you are afterany colours could work with anthracite/graphite grey. -Nice tones of peach-pink, rustic orange as mentioned by carolins and lighter greys could help create a nice chic look, you could lift the room with a nice light oak flooring to help achieve the chic look. - if you want to achieve quite a modern look, off white grey tones yellow silver-ish greys work well, to top the modern feel, darkish floor boards. -if you want to achieve quite a homely snug feel, I'd go dark with a nice deep red or burgundy and warm wooden flooring with accents of silver/light grey. all the best, let us know how it works out....See Morewhat kind of furniture and colours go with this sofa?
Comments (24)Hi Adina, Looks great so far. You're right - it needs a couple of extra pieces, but it's nearly there. It's going to be a lovely room to relax in! I think some more geometric, angular styles would work well for the coffee table. And you could mix it up with some softer, curved details - like the Bica coffee table from WEWOOD, which has an inbuilt tray that can be removed and used to bring coffees over to the seating area. I'd also recommend adding some plants to your room - the contrast between man made and organic structures is beautiful. Here's some inspiration for coffee tables and rugs: WEWOOD Bica Coffee Table Knoll Girard Coffee Table Knoll Krusin End Table Vitra Eames Coffee Table Fritz Hansen Join Coffee Table Carpet Sign Byzance Rug Kasthall Castle Rug Kasthall Core Rug Kasthall Trippel Rug You can have a look at our full range of coffee tables and rugs on our website.

Comments (3)Hi Ste, do you have any pictures of your sofa and where it will be going? Blue works well in a Scandi or industrial chic setting. Team a grey carpet such as our super-soft Sensation collection with your blue sofa and warm up lots of cosy textures that soften the edges and keep it homely. Or if you want something more neutral, opt for a beige carpet with white walls to make your sofa really ‘pop’. Hope that provides you with a bit of inspiration! https://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/ranges/carpet-ranges/...See MoreHelp with living room colours to go with DFS Zinc Teal Sofa please.
Comments (27)Ah, can't be sure, but it looks a lot like F&B Pitch Blue. Keep in mind that colours that you see online will most probably look very different in your home, because the light will be different. Also, photos are almost always manipulated, and all screens will give a slightly different image, so even if they mention which paint they've used, it might look different in real life. Best thing is to try a couple of colours out in your room, not smaller than A4 size really, to get a good idea of how it will look. Good luck...See More

7 years agoThanks for your responses everyone! I've been thinking about the living room all day and I'm literally driving myself (and my boyfriend) crazy over it! I think we're going to play safe with a grey sofa, especially since this is our first house and we're likely to change our minds on our colour scheme before Xmas!!
Minnie I've attached a photo of our floor plan. The living area measures 14ft by 10ft wide and there's a 9ft long alcove, this space is to include the dining table too ..
