Question:

sofa: military green, decoration tips?

i got the sofa for a great price but unfortunately the color was not my first choice. It is between military green and drab any suggestions on how to decorate it.

Answer:

You can have slip covers custom made for it in any color you want. Lots of people make them and sell them, even on line.
Your sofa is actually a nice neutral earth tone and you shouldn't have a lot of trouble finding things to match it. One trick you can do is start looking wallpaper books, or magazine photos for examples of colors that have your shade of green in it. When you find one that appeals to you, take a sample and bring it with you when you shop for accessories. If you can't get a sample, then bring a big box of crayolas with you and match the colors of the crayons to the wallpaper. Keep your coffee table simple and classic. The sofa has a lot going on. You don't want anything too busy nor would you want stark modern lines.
Are you renting or do you own the place? If you own the place, I'd get rid of the carpet for one. The lime green wall doesn't look too good w/ the sofa. I would go w/ A really earthtone white w/ the main wall being an earthtone green, like olive green. As for the pillows, I'd take a swatch of the fabric from under the couch just look around for colors that would go well, as it's too hard to tell from the pic what the real color texture of the couch is. Do the same w/ the rug so on. If you like the lime green wall,then I would suggest just getting a couch cover that matches the walls to really make it stand out w/ the wall. Some thing w/ just a tad of the wall color.
