Need help! Warm beige sofa with cool interiors

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Hello,

I have recently moved into an open plan modern apartment where the architectural colour scheme is cool undertone.

I have an existing sofa which I had bought only 2-3 years ago. Cant afford to throw it and I think upholstering it will be very expensive as well. The issue is my sofa is beige in warm undertone- has a lot of yellow in it. And the carpet is cool greyish beige. the walls are white with a grey tint and the kitchen’s benchtop is also white. Even the downlights are cool white. Basically everything else is cool.

Need advice on making a warm sofa work with cool coloured surrounding.

I am getting white sheer curtains too, but its a soft muted white not the bluish white. Which will go both with the sofa and carpet/wall. This was suggested by the designer. But she is expensive hence dont want to pay her again for discussing this issue.

Would love to hear some ideas from everyone else.

TIA :)

Do you like/use accessories like pillows and throws?

You don't need many, I can see it's a sofa that doesn't require any pillows as a principle. Yet if you do find them cozy and useful-find a one or two that combine in their pattern both warm cream and slighty cooler grayish tones. What's your preffered style, what patterns you like, if any?

Maybe we can be helpful with specific sugestions. But it's a quite popular combo.

You can also do it with a rug. (which again, you don't really need because of the carpet-but you can still have one if you want it) You can also go this direction with a lampshade for example. With a ceramic flowerpot. With a ..I don't know. mother of pearl tray if to your liking, put on a coffeee table.. With the warm color in frames in your art . With lots of things. You can add metal finishes that read warm-that'll help to bring things together too.

You disperse the "odd" color some more around, it will look intentional, and it will look pleasant.

It can look sophisticated too.

Congrats on your new place! It'll be fun to decorate.
