Deciding on the colour for your new modular sofa is an important decision and one you will have to live with for some time. It is best not to rush into it or be unduly swayed by the latest fashionable colours on display as they may seem dated within a year or two.

Who remembers avocado coloured bathroom suites for example? They were very fashionable for a time but now very pass. You are better to choose neutral colours that will not date too easily, and which will act as a backdrop for other colours that can be added as accessories, such as throws and pillows. This approach gives you a wider range of options as you can change around the accessories to alter the look. If your sofa is to be subject to a lot of use you may want to consider a more practical multi-coloured of tweed fabric that will resist dirt and stains better.

If you want some bright, cheerful colours then you can jazz up things with warm throws or scatter cushions. These are not expensive so can be replaced from time to time, or maybe you can just replace the cushion covers.

If your lounge walls are light in colour, then often a darker sofa is a good choice. It can make more of a statement and look less washed out than a light colour that’s very similar in tone to the walls. You need to take into account the overall colour scheme carefully so that the walls and soft furnishings are in harmony and that the colour scheme works to the best advantage. A rich vibrant colour on the walls for example can be exciting, but not exactly restful. Also it can make a room seem smaller and more claustrophobic

You can use paint colour charts to get an idea of schemes that work well. You can mix and match to see what colours go together in your room’s natural light. You can then decide on your overall theme, whether it be one of harmony or of contrast. You may want to decorate your walls first so that you can then choose your sofa to fit in with this, or you may have all ready come across a sofa that you really like and are prepared to configure the room dcor appropriately.

If choosing a light plain shade for your sofa, you could use some more fancy cushions, perhaps with pattern, in order to add interest. A light coloured plain sofa gives you the maximum choice with regard to cushions. They can be any number of darker or brighter colours to compliment, and add a personal touch.

Your sofa should fit in with your individual style, whether it is traditional, country, high tech, or minimalist for example. If minimalist, then a black leather sofa works well. For a more traditional feel try a brown or cream leather sofa. Leather ages and wears well, so can be an excellent investment. A good quality leather sofa will last for many years and is easy to maintain.

If you are looking for cover-slips, either for your sofa to match other furniture such as armchairs, or for chairs to match your sofa, you may have a problem in finding an exact match. If you are buying from a department store you need to be sure that you can change them if they don’t look right in your home, as colours can look different depending on lighting conditions.

Usually one can pick out colours from fabrics in a room, in curtains or on chairs, which can be used in cover-slips for other furniture to tie them together. For instance, if the stuffed chairs are covered with a woven fabric with some flecks or stripes of gold, then you could use a coordinating gold material for your sofa cover. The effect is to link the furniture pieces.

Another option is to find another accent colour from somewhere else in the room, say the carpet or curtains. A burnt orange fleck may be noticeable enough to use in a matching sofa slipover and add to the effect. The tint could even be further highlighted by adding in a table lamp or coffee table centrepiece with the same bold hue. This can increase the overall dramatic effect.
