If you children are using that space we would advise against using your white leather sofa here and keep a fabric option for your tv zone. We have a range of fabrics that you can choose to have your new sofa upholstered in, at BoConcept we have some fabrics which have protection within the fabric or you can purchase the extra protection for any which haven't. The space would be 2 small for a corner sofa, so you could get a chaise instead. Keep the colour of this neutral with your grey's and allow the pop of red come from your dining chair's. arm chair and your kitchen accessories. We would be able to create a 3D drawing of this space to help you visualise the final product. Check out our web-site for further sofa combinations and ideas. BoConcept Sofa's

Hi albricci, You can really transform a sofa by introducing different accent colours and patterns through decorative cushions. Your pinkish-purple sofa will work perfectly with pops of fresh greens and soft blues. Echo these colours within other accessories around the space such as groups of glass vases and ornaments to create a cohesive flow. If you are open to painting your wooden desk area and wall panelling, you could try a contemporary grey tone such as Dulux Night Jewels 4 in a durable Eggshell finish (being sure to sand and prime the surface before painting). For the wall colours you could retain a fresh crisp Absolute White or a blush tone such as Dulux Soft Montelimar 4. Although quite a typically feminine colour, the grey tones will balance this and offer a warm and inviting scheme. http://www.johnlewis.com http://www.johnlewis.com http://www.johnlewis.com http://www.johnlewis.com http://www.dunelm.com http://www.grahamandgreen.co.uk Let me know how you get on!

If you're based in the UK you've missed the best of the drying weather. Choose a windy day as I doubt you'll get them dry within 24 hours sufficient to put straight back on the sofa. I'd use some stain remover such as Vanish on the grubby area, wash them on the lowest temperature so they don't shrink or loose colour and only do one spin cycle. Liquid or powder is fine. I used to have a sofa with removable outer cushions and washed them with no problems. The biggest problem was getting them really dry and putting them back on.

Hi Sally, I would bring in some lighter blues/greys and use pattern such as stripes, geometric or ikat prints to add interest as in the pictures below. Add large artwork and mirrors to break up the wall space I hope this helps Christine
