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?!

Hell yeah you should

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'.

Isittimeformynapyet · 25/04/2024 22:58

!!!!!!

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

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!

Wellhellooooodear · 25/04/2024 23:01

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

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…

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

ConsuelaHammock · 25/04/2024 23:05

It sounds fabulous. Buy it!

SabreIsMyFave · 25/04/2024 23:07

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.

ConsuelaHammock · 25/04/2024 23:09

I have a pink chaise longue in my landing.

EmpressoftheMundane · 25/04/2024 23:09

Do it!

I can’t have a velvet sofa (we have dogs and a cat and I have an enormous arse, and a velvet sofa would be trashed in an instant), and even if I could, I think I’d struggle to persuade dh to get a bright pink one - so you need to get one so I can live vicariously through you, @Proseccodreams.

Leeds2 · 25/04/2024 23:10

If you want it, get it!!

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 25/04/2024 23:10

Fuck it. Get the pink sofa!!

Kindleonfire · 25/04/2024 23:12

For the love of God woman you better have that sofa ordered already!!

My mum has a bright red sofa with zebra print cushions, a zebra print rug and bright blue walls in her living room. A pink sofa is nothing.

One selects the man to fit the sofa.

One does not select the sofa to fit the man.

@Librarybooker I really love that orange chair. Where did you get it from?

Another one saying buy the pink sofa, OP!

MissBedelia · 25/04/2024 23:17

Yes. Buy it

RogueFemale · 25/04/2024 23:17

No. Sofas are expensive and you will regret it soon if you a bright pink one.

Littlefish · 25/04/2024 23:17

The sofa in my kitchen was that colour for 10 years. I absolutely loved it.

The whole eating end of the kitchen is now painted that colour, so I have a plainer sofa.
