Sofa Décor Hacks for your home

A Sofa set is the centre of attraction in any living room. Create a beautiful aura for your living room, by choosing the right design, appropriate size, upholstery and the accessories for your sofa set. Here are a few tips:

Works of Art:
Placing works of art on the wall behind the sofa can accentuate its look. The effect is enhanced if the painting/portrait complements the sofa. According to many home décor experts, it is advised to place the frame of the painting nearly 8 inches or a little bit above the sofa set. This position creates the best view for the onlookers.


Balance:
In order to maintain a balance in the sofa décor space, make sure that you place a heavy coffee table or any sort of table at the center of your room, which should be near to the sofa.


Upgrade the Upholstery:
Renovate your old upholstered sofa with a new one. Add upholstery with a smooth texture and grand look along with supreme comfort.



Cushions:
Cushions highlight the décor of a sofa. Place colourful and patterned cushions over your sofa for creating the ‘wow’ factor. In order to add the ‘versatile’ factor to your sofa decor, add cushions of different colours.

Black sofa décor:
Give your black sofa a boho- chic style. Add lots of warm neutrals and metallics to lend an appropriate look to the décor. Place throw pillows around your black sofa, if you want to add to its appeal. Also place an LED light over the black sofa for a touch of modernity and glamour.
