Sofa Colors: How to Choose the Perfect One?

Color palette of the room. The first thing to consider before choosing a sofa color is the other colors already present or planned for the room.

A sofa, whether you like it or not, is the most eye-catching element in the living room. That's why it attracts a lot of attention.

But this doesn't mean the sofa must be neutral just because it draws attention. On the other hand, it can be orange, green, blue or even purple.

It's important to harmoniously and balanced choose a sofa color. And to do this, the best thing you can do in life is learn how to use a color wheel when decorating. We'll explain further.

Using the Color Wheel

The color wheel combines all colors of the visible spectrum. That is, it includes primary colors (blue, red and yellow), secondary colors (orange, green and purple), as well as tertiary colors (pink, orange, turquoise and brown).

The wheel also includes various tints of each color from light to dark. The only colors outside the circle are neutral (white, black and gray). With the help of the wheel you can choose the best color combinations for your project and style.

There are several ways to combine colors using the color wheel, but we will focus on three main ones: monochromatic composition, analogous composition and complementary composition.

Monochromatic Color Composition

This type of composition is based on choosing one color that combines with its various tints.

For example, you can choose a yellow color and start with the lightest tint such as pastel yellow, move to a medium tint like canary yellow, come to an earthy yellow such as mustard, and finish with a darker yellow, almost transitioning into a brown palette.

In practice imagine a beige floor, a yellow sofa and decorative elements in dark yellow.

Analogous Color Composition

Analogue composition is based on using colors that have the same color matrix, meaning they are next to each other on the color wheel and complement each other. For example, this is the case with blue and green or yellow and orange.

One idea would be to paint a wall in green and use a blue sofa right in front of it. Such a composition gives the interior an elegant look but not too noticeable for decoration.
