two sofas what colour combination

[WUEHPU189]

Moving into a new place and need to buy two sofas. For some reason am completely stumped when it comes to colour combinations. If there was just one - I think we would have gone for a brown leather or a safe grey sofa.

I get they should be a bit different from each other but what colours/styles work well together. The walls will be white and there will also be quite a large wooden table in the room.

Ideally, I would like something classy that lasts for a few years. What did everyone go for?

thank you everyone for your ideas and colour combinations. have been looking at the new house all afternoon. am now thinking that perhaps we could go with the brown leather sofa and some accent chairs/arm chairs to go with it, essentially because i seem totally terrified of having two pick two sofas. how ridiculous is that.

We already had a big brown leather sofa. Decided our colour scheme would be teal so the new sofa and curtains are in that colour scheme and have some matching cushions on the leather. It works really well without being too over the top.

Great thread thanks for asking the qu OP!

We’re doing up our living room, walls are teal/turquoise and navy, wood floor, I am campaigning for mismatched sofas/snuggler chair, in navy and fuschia….or burnt orange or sunshine yellow DP sadly not so keen. I may get away with navy and aubergine and brighter colour in the cushions, footstool, rug etc

Go for cognac leather plus any colour you like that tones with it. Grey is starting to look a little dated. You would be better off picking a colour that you like.

I've got two sofas...the three seater is a soft aqua linen and the two seater turquoise velvet. They are therefore different in colour and texture, but both very much in the same colour family. They are exactly the same style.
I didn't want matchy ones, as sofas are such large pieces of furniture, they would give too much of a "block" effect.

You are much less limited if you buy different ones as you can get exactly what you want to fit the space rather than having to get the size that is in the set also if you are on a budget it is a lot easier to get a sale sofa if you are you buying just one as they are usually odd ones that are left

I’d do one neutral – oatmeal/grey tweet/greige – workhorse sofa and one WOW-factor sofa, like a burnt orange or mustard yellow velvet, or green corduroy, or a floral.

Or one dusky pink, one lemon drop. One chintz, one stripe. One damson velvet, one green linen. But I like colour, love sofas, and getting two the same colour and style would be a waste of an opportunity to me.

Totally with burritofan on this one, I'd be bored to death of a room with only white/browns/neutrals in it. I'd be going for something like this www.barkerandstonehouse.co.uk/living-room/Sofas/Conza-Large-Sofa/2-6498-95658/

One teal and one turmeric. Now that would make me want to come home and feel happy.

Where are those curtains from?

@Fortyfifty
If you’re asking about the curtains I posted, the fabric is by British company iLiv and I bought it and gave my measurements to this online companywww.peterleesfabrics.co.uk/iliv-collections/art-deco.
Riveting bargain!

Thanks. I don't know why it kept autocorrect ING your name when I pasted it
