Creating a particular corner inside our house where you can spend time in absolute relaxation or in the company of friends, is everyone’s dream. In fact, when we decide to furnish our living room with taste, the first goal we set ourselves is to create a harmonious and welcoming environment.
Therefore, choosing a beautiful sofa is of fundamental importance. Choosing it in red is a touch of whimsy and unique audacity. In fact, it is not for everyone to insert a red sofa in their living room precisely because it is not always possible to fit it perfectly with the rest of the furniture. Precisely for this reason, it is very important to study every detail and leave nothing to chance.
It must be said that not all shades of colorwork with a red sofa. In fact, when choosing the model to buy, it is important to evaluate the different combination possibilities, not only with the other furnishings but also with the color of the walls. These are the background to the sofa and must welcome it in the best way, enhancing its beauty . So, let’s study well the combination between the wall color and the sofa shade.
In order for the red sofa not to be an eyesore, here are some small suggestions on the color of the walls to create a sparkling but welcoming space.
If we want to be on the safe side, we choose white. Matching a red sofa with this color is one of the few guarantees and allows us to have a fresh and bright environment. In fact, white gives the amplitude of the space, so our living room is bigger and brighter. As a result, the brilliance of the red sofa is enhanced, making it the absolute protagonist of the room. We can choose a white with a both matte and glossy finish. In both cases, we create a balanced and never excessive combination.
Therefore, using a white wall, we can choose any shade of red for the sofa. A very useful tip is to play with other textile elements that have a color of the same palette as the sofa, such as poufs, curtains, rugs, and cushions. The important thing is that they are in perfect harmony.
if we don’t want to use white, another very popular color of recent times is dove gray. It always represents a classic shade but allows us to vary thanks to its innate refined. Furthermore, dove gray is one of the few shades that best suit a red sofa. In fact, precisely because of its velvety and dense colors, the wall will act as a unique backdrop to bring out the red color at its best. The ideal is to use a sofa with bright shades of carmine and purple. Furthermore, if we have a large living room, we can think of creating a conversation corner that is both intimate but also unconventional. And with the turtledove at walls, surely we can make a beautiful glance.
If we want to give warmth to the living room, the wood finish is for us. In fact, both dark wood and burnt brown are perfect to use in combination with a red sofa. In this way, we can create a warm and welcoming space by enhancing the brilliance of warm shades without ever neglecting refinement and elegance. Ideal especially for houses in the mountains where we can also play with various and shades of chocolate brown
To be used very carefully is the tone-on-tone, which is red on red. It is certainly ideal if we have an eclectic style and want to exaggerate. So, playing by matching the sofa to the wall, perhaps with two different shades of red , is a very creative way to create a very special space, especially if we want to create a “splash of color” inside our home. But pay attention to the characteristics of the room. In fact, this combination is perfect only if the living room is large and has large windows where natural light enters.
So, we can choose two shades of red, perhaps one with a colder shade and the other warmer, or we use wallpaper with micro-patterns on a neutral background that have patterns with colors that match the color of the sofa.
If we love to be daring with a quality color, we can opt for light blue and blue. In fact, red with blue is one of the most trendy combinations, especially if we want to create a fresh and modern environment. The ideal is to choose a sofa with essential and minimal and essential lines, or on precious materials such as velvet and jacquard.
To wink at China, we use the gold color. In fact, it is a really very daring combination or with a crazy scenographic effect with distant origins. Obviously, the combination of gold and red sofa must be studied very carefully case by case precisely because it is necessary to evaluate not only the type of sofa but also the size of the room and the light present in it. In fact, if the environment is small it is preferable not to choose gold but to opt for another shade, also because using gold on the walls is not easy at all. So, for realizes a perfect combination, we can use a bright finish for the walls, perhaps opting for a wallpaper that recalls the splendors of Chinese wallpapers.
Instead, if we don’t want to dare but we don’t like white very much, we can opt for gray. In fact, the red sofa combined with this shade allows us to have a space that is not monotonous, with a light and sophisticated creativity.
Whether it’s dark, pastel, and dusty, gray always represents a guarantee of elegance . A refined solution is to choose a sofa with not too bright shades.
Also, since the red sofa is already a nice splash of color, we can safely place it in front:
a large window;
a multicolor wall.
But which are the most popular shades of red? Surely, the most preferred are:
fire red;
purple;
carmine-red;
strawberry;
blood-red;
burgundy;
ruby.
Sofas made with these shades are among the most popular precisely. Because we can more easily insert them into any type of design.
