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?!

Oh my god YES you should!

Groovee · 25/04/2024 22:46

If you want it get it!

imnotthatkindofmum · 25/04/2024 22:46

Get the pink one. You deserve it.

No need to plan for a potential future partner!

I have a pink one.....my husband insisted on the pink!

RomeoRivers · 25/04/2024 22:46

Buy it!

RandomButtons · 25/04/2024 22:47

If you like it buy it.

Summerbay23 · 25/04/2024 22:47

Definitely!

I’m divorced and I own an emerald green velvet sofa and a scalloped pink velvet sofa. They make me smile every day. Do it!

Notimeforaname · 25/04/2024 22:47

Get whatever you want. But I have to say, it sounds disgusting 🤣

GalileoHumpkins · 25/04/2024 22:48

Of course you should. I dream of a beautiful peacock velvet sofa but it's not practical for me.

Yes! I almost had DH agreed to a raspberry velvet sofa but we got samples of the fabric sent and it's more claret than pink in real life, which I didn't like as much. We're ordering emerald green instead!

Do it!!!!

KreedKafer · 25/04/2024 22:52

BUY.
THE.
SOFA.

SprigatitoYouAndIKnow · 25/04/2024 22:52

Absolutely do it.

FlamingoFlamboyance · 25/04/2024 22:52

Please get the sofa! And show us an update with a pic when you've got it!

Woahbodyforrrrm · 25/04/2024 22:52

Oh my Christ, yes you should buy that sofa at once!!

And congratulations on your new found freedom (and wonderful taste in interiors)

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

Proseccodreams · 25/04/2024 22:53

Thank you all so much!! That’s a resounding yes! I am excited now!

Buy the pink velvet sofa!

INeedToClingToSomething · 25/04/2024 22:53

Definitely! Sounds fabulous!

PoochiesPinkEars · 25/04/2024 22:53

Please buy the sofa!

Then invite me round.

Need picture. 😁

HellonHeels · 25/04/2024 22:54

Buy it!!

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.

MiddleagedBeachbum · 25/04/2024 22:54

Yes

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!

RosyDawn · 25/04/2024 22:55

Buy it. Sounds fantastic.

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!
