If you have a fabric sofa, and it isn't grey...

...then what colour is it, please?

I've been staring and staring at sofas until my brain is scrambled and I've forgotten what normal living rooms look like.

Don't want leather or grey. Ivory walls and wood floors, a clean slate.

What is a normal sofa, please?

Teal

Light blue, from Ikea

DianaBlythe · 22/10/2018 18:09

Duck egg blue... not the most child friendly choice, it is pretty though!

Purple

I have gold sparkly wallpaper to go with my purple sofa so I’m not sure I should offer interior decorating advice!

Iaimtomisbehave1 · 22/10/2018 18:11

Purple set in one room. And a mix of grey and blue in another room.

Iaimtomisbehave1 · 22/10/2018 18:11

The purple is plum and the blue is sort of between blue and turquoise.

AiryFairy1 · 22/10/2018 18:11

Blueberry, more like a slightly faded navy (I like it Halloween Wink)

ShirleyPhallus · 22/10/2018 18:12

Navy blue velvet in the living room

Teal one in the breakfast room

Berry / hot pink one in the open plan kitchen / diner

SpidersWithBellsOn · 22/10/2018 18:13

Red! No kids or dogs to leave stains though and DP isn’t allowed to bring food anywhere near it.

ALemonyPea · 22/10/2018 18:13

Aubergine

Shalll · 22/10/2018 18:13

Dark blue, with wood floors and ivory walls.

For what it's worth I wouldn't recommend it, it dominates the room. Have had to get a light rug and curtains to Brighton up the room, and colourful cushions.

SuburbanRhonda · 22/10/2018 18:13

Just ordered this plus two armchairs from M&S for Christmas.

We haven’t had a new sofa for 20 years and I’m so excited!

Navy.

yomellamoHelly · 22/10/2018 18:14

Lilac. Last one was plum

MsAwesomeDragon · 22/10/2018 18:14

Ours is a dark red. I love the colour, but it wasn't our choice of sofa, it was a hand-me-down. So we decorated the rest of the living room to match the sofa we'd been given.

sonicshoegazes · 22/10/2018 18:14

Green...lime kinda colour.

Always needs a bloody clean! Does my head in!

DustandRubble · 22/10/2018 18:15

Tweedy green.

SongforSal · 22/10/2018 18:15

We have a white living room (walls) Large white bookcases, couple of white side table and TV stand, and a larger round table with plants/candles/lamp on that has white legs and a dark oak/mahogany colour on the top.

The floorboards are original and dark stained. The sofa is a large fabric brown corner sofa, with lots of scatter cushions and a chunky white throw over the back. The sofa has a matching large foot stool/pouf? that has a chequered grey and white throw over it.

MumNeedsANap · 22/10/2018 18:16

Laska5772 · 22/10/2018 18:19

Piggyhoolier · 22/10/2018 18:20

@ShirleyPhallus please can I ask about your navy velvet - do you have young dc? Is the colour practical in case of spills?

Have my heart set on a navy velvet sofa but my head is telling me it won’t be practical...

incendio · 22/10/2018 18:21

Mine is a kind of oatmeal/ beige colour and my walls are Dulux Egyptian cotton.

Laska5772 · 22/10/2018 18:22

it was also replacement for a 25yr old terracotta fabric sofa which I also loved but was just so old
