Using a Neutral Color Sofa as a Starting Point for Interior Design

Neutral colored sofas can stay even if your design goes out the window.Here’s an interesting tip: buy a neutral colored sofa.  Now while your more eccentric side might be begging you to go with a lime green or burnt orange sofa, we really must insist upon the timeless wisdom of purchasing a neutral sofa.

Why?

Well, if you purchase a neutral colored sofa, you’re not tying the rest of your room to it.  Larger pieces, such as sofas and wall units, tend to act as anchors or focal points in a room.  These direct the color and movement of a space.  The rest of the room must more or less follow their example set by the color and style.

So if you buy a sofa with a bright, vibrant color that matches your current room, well, redecorating is going to be a real pain.  However, neutral colored sofas are a great investment because you can design around them.  Neutral colors seamlessly integrate into new design schemes, so you don’t need to feel stuck to one style or color palette just because your sofa might look out of a place against a blue wall.

Custom design is all about options.  Keep your options open with neutral colors.
