Choosing the Right Sofa Color
Pick a couple of colors from your living room’s color scheme to help you determine the best one for your sofa. If you have a neutral living room, you can still play with color. Add accessories or prints in the same color family to spread the hues around the room. Repeated notes of similar colors help the sofa feel balanced, even when working with brighter shades.
A sofa fabric in a neutral tone is a great option because it’s a timeless color. A neutral fabric also lets you decorate with different color schemes without the need to buy a new sofa. Consider these neutrals for your sofa:
- Beige: A beige sofa fabric can appear dull around other colors, so consider a textured beige fabric with flecks of monochromatic color to create interest.
- Gray: Gray sofas are considered sophisticated, cool, and crisp and can range from pale to charcoal colors.
- Taupe: Taupe is a color that’s not quite brown and not quite gray, which makes it a versatile warm or cool neutral.
- Cream: Though stylish, a cream sofa can also look dull in a room unless it’s paired with other earth tones for a calming, elegant look.

Finishing Touches
Complete your room with the new sofa by adding a few finishing touches. For additional seating, a set of upholstered chairs incorporating the sofa color is a flexible option if you don’t want a matching loveseat. Add in accent pillows and throws for those little touches of color that give your living room a harmonious, pulled-together look.

What color sofa makes a room look bigger?
A lighter sofa will make a room seem larger by commanding less visual space. To make a room seem as large as possible, a sofa the same color as lighter-colored walls will appear to open the entire space up. However, the same concept goes for a living room with darker hues; a dark sofa, walls, and flooring give a room incredible depth and will make the room feel larger.
