Our hunt has officially begun for a new sofa for the living room. We always knew the Klippan was temporary. We had just bought a house and had next to no furniture, so shelling out $400 for a couch that took up a lot of room was just what we needed then. Now, we are taking our time and saving our pennies and even scouring the classifieds (you never know!) for a couch we really love. While I have been pinning and eyeing lots of sofas in bone, graphite, taupe, sand, and every other neutral out there, I have come across a few colorful ones that have made my heart skip a beat. Could I? Dare I? Check out how these gems blend seamlessly and calmly into their environments:

Is a jewel-toned sofa in our future? Could it be in yours? Or maybe you already have a hued couch in your casa. We’d love to hear about it, or better yet–see it! There’s not a one I don’t like, I’ll tell you that much. Chris would never, ever ever be on board for a pink couch. C’mon! But something mustard against our dark, dark wall. Mmmm. Colorful couches–would you?
LOVE colorful couches. I’ve been eyeing a royal blue one for our front room. So gorgeous. Statement pieces for sure! I can’t believe how quickly and easily you guys seem to whip out the painting.. (laundryroom) I wish I had a tenth of your energy for diy. Maybe someday. :)
Recently we inherited an awesome vintage GREEEEEEN striped sofa (almost identical to the pink one you pictured, only striped and with buttons on the back; same shape and legs though) and coordinating velvet chair. We’re talking lime and avocado people. Bold. I love them but am having a hard time envisioning decorating the room around them. I wouldn’t have had the guts to go into a store and pay for the bold set we got for free (er, the price of renting a UHaul to cart it away) but I think they have so much character. Life is short. Have fun! As far as my set goes I still have to pick a wall color and figure out the curtains because at this point my brown stockholm curtains (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70174983/#/10112016) do not jive. Oh, and furnish and decorate the room. Pretty much starting from square 1 with crazy fun green furniture. I’ll try to remember to post a photo later.
I would not HESITATE on a colorful couch. Now… the hubby is a different story! We inherited very beautiful, very high-quality taupe sofas when we got married four years ago, but without wall color, our living room is quite monotone!
Maybe so, but I believe the designers who put together the above rooms might disagree. ;) Who knows where we’ll end up. We’re just assessing all the options right now.
Hahaha! Okay!
