Any update on the color of this sofa?

6 years ago

Our nickel and charcoal swatches look very similar but we've seen some photos where the charcoal looks VERY dark (as in this photo). Can you please confirm?

Hi Chris! We suggest trusting in the fabric swatch that you received. If you are referring to the Nickel and Charcoal in the fabric Douglas, they are similar colors, Charcoal only being slightly darker than Nickel. However, there are multiple fabric options with Charcoal that could have varying hues of grey and black. The fabric in this picture may be different than the fabric you viewed. Thank you!

I had a similar situation in a house I moved into years ago. I did a quick fix of painting all of the walls, woodword and the cupboards the same shade of cream. Sounds a bit OTT but it really knocked back the cupboards, which in all honesty are not something you want to make a feature out of, and created a calmness to the whole space. In your case, I would go for an off white so that the gang plug wires, radiator pipes and covers hiding the wires for the extractor fan etc., are disguised as much as possible -- that will tie in with the palest of the tiles in the splash back, and then you will have a pretty basic colour scheme of a very place colour and the dark worktop, fireplace and floor, which will stand out more. I think you need more storage with doors -- that bookshelf isn't doing anything for the kitchen. If you could get something in there that could hide lots of clutter -- even if just something cheap from IKEA, that would help greatly. Or work something around the filing cabinet that you have? A huge cheap mirror over the fireplace would bounce some light around too. If you don't want to go for undercupboard lighting, and if you have enough plug points, how about some lamps on the worktop, especially at the FF end with a floor standing lamp at the end with the chair. For the table, I would go for a table cloth and reupholster the chairs if they are not to your taste. A new blind in a much fresher colour would be great. Depending on the colour of your filing cabinet (if you use it), I think a petrol blue could add a nice vintage vibe to the chimney breast, and make more of a feature of it. I would try and go down a vintage/slightly industrial route rather than country. You may have some stuff lurking around that you could use, once you have got the base colours right -- currently it just feels a little cluttered and a bit of a mish mash. Best of luck. Looking forward to seeing some after shots :)

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.

The arm chairs work in a retro kind of way. I think you have to go bold with the colour scheme though (and take the arm covers off which make them look scruffy). How about something like this? https://www.decorpad.com/photo.htm?photoId=101107

The easiest option would be to paint it. You could paint it white, or grey, or any colour to suit your room decor. Here’s some ideas.
