There is a piece of furniture that is the absolute protagonist of our days, the king of relaxation to whom we turn during our lunch break, as soon as we return from work late in the evening and on which we let ourselves go after dinner for watching a movie. A sofa is forever, which is why the choice of the model and above all the color are essential steps in the design of your ideal environment. You have to juggle in a jungle made up of measurements, reflections and available spaces, always taking into account the necessary respect for proportions. When choosing the color of the sofa, it will be necessary to evaluate first of all the size of the living room: a very large living room, in fact, will be best combined with rather bright colors to make it ‘dialogue’ with the rest of the furniture. If, on the other hand, the room is smaller, it will be more correct to move towards light shades (dark ones, such as blue, would reduce the perception of the environment as a whole). As far as the choice of model is concerned, it will be interesting to underline how the trend nowadays is towards modern and contemporary lines, so the best thing will be to browse the proposals of Poliform sofas always at the top in terms of originality and design: an interesting journey to discover refuge islands and ‘day beds’ but also fixed and modular sofas with a strong style. These creations represent the perfect solution to interpret the character of a salon in a modern and contemporary style, regardless of the size.
The perfect mix is with living room floors and walls
Among the tips that can be offered to identify the perfect sofa, there is undoubtedly the one relating to the presence of natural light in the room. You could decide to place a beautiful dark-toned sofa in the center, if the brightness is generous due to large windows, while if, on the other hand, the light supply is smaller, it will be better to choose a light shade (it can reflect the light it receives, enlarging the spaces around it). If the sofa is the only element you intend to replace within an already defined living context, of course you will have to take into account not only the style of furniture but also the color of the walls and floors. The best thing will be to focus on a shade of the sofa in line with the range of colors already present in the living room: if, to understand, you have a gray wooden parquet you could consider placing a sofa in dark or black tones. If, on the other hand, you have just bought a house and you have to design the whole context from scratch, you could decide to opt for a light or white sofa, so that you can start from here to ‘build’ what will be around it (with great freedom in the choice of accessories such as carpets and curtains). Along with the choice of color, it is also necessary to focus on that of the material. A key question must be asked: what use will be made of that sofa? Beautiful but challenging fabrics such as velvet in the presence of small children can be replaced by more resistant materials, while as far as leather is concerned – of great scenic impact in dark tones – it has the advantage of being able to be easily cleaned. Of course, the advice and tips of an experienced interior designer will be essential.
