Which sofa do you prefer?

[Folicky]

I’m moving into a new build home in a few months. Since the kitchen and floor tiles have gone in it looks fairly dark. I had already ordered the charcoal version of this sofa but haven’t had it delivered yet. Now that I’ve seen the kitchen (light green and wood (ash) cabinets) and the floor (wood effect tiles in an oak colour), I’m wondering about going for the floral patterned sofa. They are the same sofa just different fabrics. Which do you prefer? The last photo is the charcoal fabric up close. I’m going for an ash tv table, dining table etc. Any help appreciated

I think with the green and all those wood colours the lighter one would look lovely.

But... obvs darker will be more practical and you can always lighten up with throws and cushions.

Can you change it now?

I think so. I can just not accept delivery. And while the charcoal one is from the M&s express range (not made for you, from a warehouse), the lighter one is made to measure so couldn’t be returned. I think they will try to resist though as the delivery firm have had it for a while.

Another issue comes into this decision ..... I am a single parent of a son .... is the lighter one a bit too flowery for a boy iykwim?

Never mind too flowery - does he tend to take an interest in your interior design? 🤔 - but how old / dirty is he?!

It’s not like the charcoal one isn’t lovely. You could put light cushions on it and I think would still fit nicely.

But if I was you, possible dirty/accident DS aside, if the floral wasn’t going to cause too much grief I would change.

Thanks LMKA, appreciate the sounding board 👍
