Should I buy a bright pink velvet sofa

Hi
I’ve been divorced two years out of a pretty abusive relationship and finally got my own home again. Hooray! I have seen a beautiful bright pink velvet sofa but don’t know if I should buy it! I do want to meet my forever man so is it foolish buying such a girly colour? Maybe I should just go for another bright colour that isn’t pink
Am I massively overthinking this?!

Wasn't sure what to say until I saw the photo you posted @Proseccodreams But it's LUSH! 😍 Beautiful colour. Not really bright pink. More like a soft medium magenta.

It sounds fabulous. Buy it!

MisfitMagpie · 25/04/2024 23:05

As someone who also wants a pink sofa, go for it!

100% yes!

RJnomore1 · 25/04/2024 23:01

Yes!! My sofa in my kitchen is that colour from DFS. DH hasn’t batted an eyelid. It’s not velvet so I can shampoo it due to being the kitchen sofa though.

My lounge has an emerald green velvet one though…

Get it. A forever man won't care what colour your sofa is anyway!

Justlovedogs · 25/04/2024 22:59

Absolutely get it! We used to have a bright pink leather DFS suite. DH chose it. It was fabulous!

!!!!!!

I don't have an opinion on the sofa but I had to get in on the exclamation mark-fest!!!

RaininSummer · 25/04/2024 22:58

I want to see the sofa. Hadn't even read your post after the title before I was mentally yelling 'of course you bloody should'.

Deludamol · 25/04/2024 22:57

Hell yeah you should

Lovely!!

TokyoSushi · 25/04/2024 22:56

Absolutely yes. Fortunately my DH is lively but if I were to find myself single then this is exactly the sort of thing I would buy!

RosyDawn · 25/04/2024 22:55

Buy it. Sounds fantastic.

Garlicked · 25/04/2024 22:54

Mate, this is a time for doing things for YOU! Don't squash your own wishes for an imaginary man who may or may not turn up, and whose likes & dislikes you don't even know - that would be bonkers, and more than a little sad!

Me, I also want a peacock velvet sofa. What I've actually got is the MN-despised silver crushed velvet sofa because it was cheap. And is now covered in peacock velvet throws 😆 If you're in a position to get YOUR sofa for YOU, for god's sake get it!

MiddleagedBeachbum · 25/04/2024 22:54

Yes

MojoMoon · 25/04/2024 22:54

The right forever man will not be a man who criticizes your own choice in sofas in your own house.

Get it.

HellonHeels · 25/04/2024 22:54

Buy it!!

PoochiesPinkEars · 25/04/2024 22:53

Please buy the sofa!

Then invite me round.

Need picture. 😁

INeedToClingToSomething · 25/04/2024 22:53

Definitely! Sounds fabulous!

StormingNorman · 25/04/2024 22:53

Buy the pink velvet sofa!

Please could you share a photo of the sofa, it sounds right up my street!
