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.

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.
