The choice and placement of the sofa in accordance with the interior of the room
Thanks to the installation of the sofa, each room becomes more comfortable and warmer. Modern pieces of furniture are not only beautiful, but also high-quality products that last a long time. Stylish multifunctional sofas in the interior can become a bright accent or complement an existing headset. It is only important to choose a model that is ideal for the size of the room, style and color schemes.
Varieties
The sofa in the interior can be used of any kind. The choice of configuration and product size depends on the size and shape of the room. The following types are popular today:
- direct wall;
- angular;
- couch;
- U-shaped;
- canapes;
- transformer.
If guests are often in the house, then a transforming model will be an excellent choice. The same option is suitable for small rooms. For spacious rooms of the right rectangular shape, standard straight and corner models are better suited. Furniture will close empty corners without cluttering up the space. If the room has the shape of a square, then the best option for a sofa is an angular ottoman. In a narrow elongated room, the canapes mounted against the wall look perfect.

- Living room. Excellent options for sofas for the living room are corner, L-shaped, straight, oval models. You can use solid or modular products consisting of several elements.
- Kitchen. The room serves not only for cooking, but also is a corner where all family members and friends gather. For rest, angular, semicircular, modular, built-in, folding models are suitable, the size of which depends on the dimensions of the kitchen.
- Children’s. It is better to put a frameless safe sofa in the nursery, but such a model is not suitable for sleeping or relaxing. You can install a corner sofa or a straight line, for example, in the form of a machine.

Styles
The sofa model should harmoniously fit into the interior design of the room. A wide selection of products allows you to choose furniture for any style.
- The classic style is characterized by the naturalness of the materials, so the model with leather, velor, jacquard upholstery, with wooden armrests is more suitable. Coloring is better to choose neutral (black, white, gray, brown, beige), without patterns and patterns. Products should be voluminous, with wide low seats, folding or transformers. Carved parts, linings, gilding, pillows with frills are used as decor.
- Original practical furniture used for the avant-garde style is the opposite of classic. Sofas have straight lines and lack decorative elements. Direct, modular models with bright upholstery are used. For one product, several saturated colors can be used. A large number of multi-colored pillows looks good.
- Sofas in the interior of the loft style play a major role. A massive product can be island, bay window, P- or L-shaped, modular. Different colors are used: from gentle pastel to bright. On a bright sofa you can put bright pillows.
- For a room decorated in a minimalist style, a sofa transformer is most suitable. The colors are inherent in minimalism - white, gray, beige, olive, brown. Usually used products are low, comfortable, without corners and smooth lines. A characteristic feature is the lack of prints, vivid drawings.
- High-tech style is characterized by light shades and the absence of decor elements. Products fit a rectangular configuration, with the presence of spacious boxes. A modular system or multifunctional sofa bed is popular.
- For Art Nouveau, rectangular models, L-shaped or U-shaped, angular are suitable. Colors - discreet, delicate: pink, light green, muted blue, ashen. Products are decorated with floral ornaments with smooth transitions. Pillows should be the same color as the upholstery.
It would be a mistake to put a wooden sofa with a floral print or gilding in a room decorated in the styles of hi-tech, minimalism or loft. Ridiculous models will look absurd there too. But straight, angular products with no decor and metal chrome legs cannot be placed in a classic living room or bedroom, the design of which corresponds to the Provence style.

Color combinations
It is very important not to make a mistake with the choice of color of the sofa, otherwise you can spoil the impression of the interior of the room. If, for example, the room is decorated in a fashionable peach color, then furniture in green and yellow tones that emphasize the natural warmth will look perfect. Creamy, white, and beige colors are in perfect harmony with peach shades.
If the wallpaper is greenish, then in this case a black or brown sofa will fit in well, as well as furniture in yellow and orange tones. Moreover, the dark palette is more suitable for the bedroom, and the bright one is for workspaces (kitchen, study). In blue rooms you can put furniture in rich red or in orange shades. Fits a blue blue sofa, but this combination negatively affects the emotional state.
Light sand wallpapers are perfectly combined with the upholstered furniture of blue, blue, carrot, yellow, purple, burgundy. For pink rooms, gray models are suitable, but then the atmosphere will give off cold. Brown sofa will give warmth to the pink room. For a white interior, a large number of furniture colors are used. You can set the sofa in black, green, red, gray, purple and other colors.
The combination of colors should not cause negative emotions and irritation.
Black and white design requires the presence of black or white products. Dilute the room with bright furniture or discreet shades. If there are bright red elements on the wallpaper, then upholstered furniture of a similar color will look good in this interior. White, beige, blue, black colors are great for the red palette. For a room where wallpapers with floral ornaments are pasted, it is good to acquire a sofa of natural tones: greenish, pale yellow, pinkish, blue.
