• Warm tones:

  • Reds, yellows, oranges, gold

• Cool colors:

  • Light greys, blues

• Deep hues:

  • Dark greys, purples, greens

Velvet is a popular trend for sofas at the moment. Consider this if you want to replace your seating options. They give your living room a luxurious feel and also offer interesting texture to the room. Additionally, try a  vibrant color that makes a dramatic statement when combining it with other patterns.
