We’ve selected five of our favourite sofas to give you some colour inspiration. See how we’d recommend styling them, with accessories and soft furnishings, and bring these colour trends to life!
Soft Vintage Blue Tones to Brighten Your Interiors
Cumulo 2 Seater Sofa
To combat the blues in these turbulent times, lift your spirits with soft blue-toned interiors. A top colour trend for 2022, introduce furniture in vintage blue shades to create a calming space to relax and unwind in.
The Cumulo 2 Seater Sofa can be upholstered in a selection of gorgeous fabrics, but if you’re trying to recreate the look, we’d recommend picking out the Mineral Velvet or Aqua Marine Linen. Named after a cloud for a reason – settle into the fibre-filled seat cushions, arrange the feather scatter cushions just so, and feel your troubles just float away.
Not sure how to style your sitting room with soft blues? We’d pair this gentle colourway with natural furniture and accessories to keep things tranquil. Add relaxing low lighting, natural accents and soft textures to compliment the soft-hued blue Cumulo Sofa.
The Woood Cleo Rug features a soft, thick pile with a graphic design that adds interest to any room without being too loud. Complimenting the Cumulo Sofa; by adding harmonious textures, colours and shapes to your sitting room, your home will be transformed without ever needing to lift a paintbrush.
Deep Greens and Browns Inspired by Mother Nature
Stratus 4 Seater Sofa
We’ve heard on the grapevine that deep greens, browns and natural hues are set to be adorning our interiors this season! These organic tones give a nod to our natural surroundings, bringing the outdoors in and creating a dramatic effect when styled up.
The sustainably made Stratus 4 Seater Sofa comes available in a choice of eco-velvet shades. One of our firm favourites has to be the gorgeous green upholstery! Terracotta and Mustard would tick this trend too! Carefully crafted in the UK from recycled fibres and re-purposed materials, this environmentally friendly furniture design helps out mother earth! Made to be admired with a striking silhouette, the contemporary and traditional details would suit a number of home interior designs.
When styling, we’d recommend selecting furniture and accessories that follow the natural theme but are as equally striking as the Stratus Sofa range.
The deep acacia wood Class collection from Dutchbone would do the trick! The rich-toned wood finish, herringbone design and antique brass details would bring drama to your living room and perfectly pair contemporary and retro designs.
The Le Feu Bio Ethanol Fireplaces are eco-friendly too! Made from recycled materials and emitting only clean emissions and smokeless heat, snuggle up on the Stratus Sofa and enjoy the flickering flames. The smoked oak legs and dome design transport you to another era and will receive ‘oohs and aahs’ from guests.
Calming Neutrals to Soothe Your Soul
Alto Left Hand Facing Chaise Sofa
Add light and neutral tones to your living room to lift your space and trick the eye into thinking your room is bigger than it is! Neutral colours bring balance, leaving you feeling relaxed and calm.
The handcrafted Alto Left Hand Facing Chaise Sofa in Mink Bouclé upholstery is a great starting point if you’re looking to lighten your home interiors. The comforting bouclé texture adds interest, while the soft colourway keeps things simple and peaceful. Filled with supportive fibre and foam, the Alto Sofa seat cushions, side bolsters and chaise footstool will put a spring back in your step.
Pair your neutral-hued sofa with uplifting lighting, organic shapes and soothing accessories if you’re trying to create a quiet haven for you to restore and reset.
Adding mirrors to smaller spaces immediately makes them look and feel bigger. The Woood Philou Mirrors are available in 3 alternating shapes. Featuring curved lines and smoother edges, add a nature-inspired wall mirror to your living room or pair all three and create a calming arrangement that will lighten up your living room.
