Forest green sofa regret

I ordered the DFS enchanted corner sofa in forest green last night. It was a toss up between that, mustard or olive green. I’m usually neutral and cream led but I’ve gone rogue and now seriously questioning my decision. Does anyone have a green sofa? I’d like the room to stay bright so plan to keep the walls white and decorate neutral with splash of blush pink and yellow cushions and art work but now wondering if it’ll look garish. I now think olive green would suit the palette better and I’m talking myself into changing it (if that’s even possible!). First world problems I know!

I'm a maximalist and love colour, but the forest green is too garish for me @Givemeallthewine8 - I prefer the softer olive version. However, you obviously chose it for a reason and I'm sure you can make it work!

We don't currently have a green sofa, but at our previous house which had far larger living spaces we had an antique high-backed curved sofa in a deep olive green velvet (original upholstery) in a room with F&B Olive walls and brightly coloured rug. In the same space we had a smaller cream sofa. Both sofas were covered in cushions of multiple colours/patterns and textures plus we had colourful art and lamps everywhere. No curtains as we had a wall of glass facing the garden which was not overlooked. Sounds like a riot of colour but it all worked somehow.

I think green & navy sofas (I have both) are pretty common because they are easy eg go with most colours, dark to hide stains

Just googled it and it's gorgeous! I wanted a green velvet sofa when we bought a few years back, but I couldn't find one with enough support for my back, I envy you!

I'm green with envy :)

I do! I have this and it is SO comfy. I love it. It was my husband's choice - I wanted to go with cream and, with kids and a dog, I am so glad we didn't.

That is a very cool sofa, I love the color! And you've made the right choice not to go with cream with kids and a dog, don't ask me how I know

We have forest green sofas with loose covers and they’re very practical and accent colours pretty varied. This is ours.

I’d go with the Designers Guild myself. The pix abive doesn’t have a theme or coordination.

To be honest I think the forest green looks cheap and olive is much nicer.

Mine is mustard. I love a bright sofa
