There are some challenges associated with styling around a colourful sofa. Although that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Sometimes you must go bold with your colours, make them stand out, and make a statement. Going bold or selecting a wild pattern or even a brightly-coloured sofa is something you can never get from a grey or a much darker colour.

At some point in life, you have to take a risk and go for those brightly coloured things: ditch the black heels for a pair of red diamante studded boots. The picture may not look so good, but we assure you that your colourful sofa can sit stylishly without destroying the ambience. 

We’ve put together seven ways To style your colourful sofa without making it look too much. 

1. Go Vintage

There are a lot of vintage good quality sofas that you could find around with bright and bold colours. You could go for a checked sofa or a bright red one. Pricebusters living room sets come in attractive bold colours to select from. Don’t be scared to visit a thrift store. Vintage is back!

2. Add A Pattern

Pair it with some patterns. Go for some patterned textiles. You can choose cushions with a beautiful pattern and a fancy carpet. You can go with stripes, polka dots, or even something geometric. be stylish and play around with different patterns to bring out the brightness in your sofa. 

3. Pair It With Another Bright Colour

When we get brightly-coloured furniture, we always consider toning it down by adding more subtle colours, but pairing it with another bright colour could make it look better. Imagine having a purple sofa paired with turquoise blue cushions. This is a great combo. 

4. Create A Monochrome Look

Decorate your sofa with other colours with a similar hue. For example, if your sofa is bright pink, go for softer pinks or darker shades with your cushions,  curtains, and carpet. Then you could also go for some brighter decor pieces. Create a monochromatic look without drowning the sofa. 

5. Pair It With Subtle Colours

Subtle colours and hues make the brightness of your sofa even more profound. For example, a bright yellow sofa paired with some creams,  white, and gold will bring out the sofa’s brightness and still look classy. Let the sofa be the only bright piece in the room. 

6. Go Fancy 

When a sofa comes in a bright colour, we are usually scared to pair it up with fancy pieces of furniture, which can make it look better. Look for fancy pieces to decorate around it in different shades and colours so that your sofa stands bold. 

7. Let It Be An Extra Piece

Ever had that extra space in a room, and you didn’t know what to do with it? You can always bring in a brightly-coloured sofa as an extra piece to fill up that space. For example, in a bedroom with a white silhouette, you can choose to go with a bright blue or bright yellow shade to stand bold and cover some space.
