Whenever
you are thinking about styling the sofa, it’s not about
styling only its upholstery or cushions. Its overall look of the space needs to
be styled or uplifted.
Let’s
start from the rug. To define the position of your sofa, add a rug below it. If
you are having neutral coloured sofa, then coloured, vibrant rug can make it
interesting. It can bring focus to the seating space.
Side
table with some beautiful home decor accessories can also enhance the sofa
setting.
Nature
can always uplift any bland backdrop. It brings freshness to the surroundings.
You can go for a beautiful potted plant beside the sofa to make the space
nature friendly. Selecting colourful pot
or interestingly shaped pot can provide designer look. There are a
various options available for the succulents.
If
the backdrop of the sofa is plain, then salon wall or little collage of frames
can do the trick of making the backdrop interesting. Having your favourite
artwork or family pictures can make it a conversation point in your living room
which is actually a basic purpose of living room. If you have window behind
sofa, then choose beautiful curtains for the backdrop. Always go for curtains
which has high quality fabric and interesting design or print. You can also go
for a sheer curtains which allows natural light and ventilation as well as
retains the privacy.
Choose
the lighting near the sofa bit carefully. If you have side tables beside the
sofa, then opt for side table lamps with beautiful shade which can complement
the sofa upholstery and the throw pillows. If you do not have side tables, then
go for floor lamps. Taller floor lamps also help in adding the height to the
room. Another highlighting feature can be a chandelier placed at the centre of
the rug or centre table. Design of the chandelier can be royal and regal or
modern or contemporary as per your living room decor.
Beautiful,
well organized centre table with assorted accessories is also important to
uplift the seating space. Make sure height of the centre table will not be more
than the seating level of sofa. Always keep the centre table clean as it tend
to get cluttered. You can keep some beautiful accessories in a well-organized
manner to give your living room luxurious look.
Last
but not the least, cushions or throw pillows. Cushions has the ability to
change the look of seating in an instant. Bright coloured, patterned cushions
help in finishing the look. While selecting the cushions, check the design,
print, texture of the cushion covers. Quit the trend of matching all your
cushions and go for the min 'n' match look. For full look, go for 4 to 5 cushions.
Mix up the shapes and sizes as per the design and size of the sofa. Also mix up
the prints. Golden rule for mixing up the prints is keep the colour family of
the cushions same. This will help you in putting up the well-synchronized look
even while having various patterns. There are luxurious textures available for
cushions or throw pillows like velvet, satin, fur, leather or linen and many
more. Play with various textures to achieve that rich look for your living
room.
