What colour sofa?

We’re having a small extension to add a family living room downstairs. It has to be dark (mucky paws and little hands!)

We’ve got a light grey sofa upstairs. The rest of the house is white, teal and mustard with oak furniture.

Any suggestions? I don’t want leather.

Mud/gravy coloured. Mine is in a similar room and I have no regrets.

Spotty528 · 08/01/2020 15:56

Ah no I don’t think I can do mud or gravy!

Teal?

Brown? Like a much darker version of mustard to tie in with the rest of the house.

A dark teal could work. I would like to tie in with the rest of the house. Really my options are dark grey, dark teal, could do navy but I don’t really want to introduce a new colour scheme. Maybe I’ll stick with dark grey and then I can add colour with the accessories. Grey’s been done to death though hasn’t it!

I have de-greyed my house! I don't miss it 😂 we do have a dark grey sofa though. I'll add a picture as our paper is teal and bronze

I don’t care if grey isn’t a ‘thing’ any more. I still like it and you can put so many colours with it. Teal, sage green, acid green, pink, yellow. Much nicer than boring beige.

This shows the grey against the teal

This is a better one of the paper to give you an idea of colour (it's our snug)

Can I see your sofa please Bax?

The problem with getting a teal sofa is if I go off the colour whereas grey does lend itself to changing the accessories.

Sofa is in my first post x

Spotty528 · 08/01/2020 20:51

I can only see the picture of your teal wallpaper (which is lovely!)

We have LIME GREEN .. (we are an 'oatmeal, teal family 😯)who had a mad moment ... one with an extension so you can put you feet up and another a 'cuddle sofa' ... brings us all so much joy EVERY day. All you can ask

A few examples

Mummyshark2018 · 08/01/2020 21:18

We also have a lime green sofa in extension and teal in snug. We use really nice rugs to cover certain parts that we know mucky paws might get at.
