Question:

What color sofas should I buy for my living room?

My living room is very light with white carpet and light cream colored wall. Ceiling is high and white.Lot's of natural lighting from outside.Should I buy a light colored furniture or darker color?Or does it matter?

Answer:

i would go for a really brightly coloured one, like red or purple! but before you decide make a colour chart of all the furniture and accessories plus wallpaper/carpet first so u know exactly what colour sofa to get and what furniture will suit it
I'd say a darker colour. It depends on you!
Hhhm I think you should purchase darker furniture because if you chose light colored it will seem as one lighting spot. But not too dark to avoid strong contrast. However mainly thing is what you personally like. If it make you happy doesn't metter what color it will be. I wish you good shopping :)
Overall this is a personal preference, but consider the cost factor of your new sofa and your lifestyle. Do you have kids, pets? Is this a quality sofa that you will keep several years? Dark sofa while dramatic, creates a focal point, when you walk into the room. And the eyes will be drawn to it, A Light sofa, will 'float' making less of a statement, as the remainder of your room is also light. With a light sofa you should add several contrasting toss pillows to hold things down visually. I was once in a similar situation and opted for a Tan ( think regular cup of coffee ) color Sofa. I placed an area rug in front of the sofa / love seat in deep earth tones colors and patterened. Use of the area rug grounded the room and provided the room to visually appear balanced.
