I have a tan carpet on my living room, what color sofa would go with it?and any websites to buy sofas would be greatly appreciated!
It depends on your style. What other things are in the room- do you have any pictures/art you like that you can pick colors from? Tan generally looks really nice with black (maybe leather), reds, other vibrant but earthy colors. I wouldn't put it with blues, oranges or yellows. whites or greens would be okay, depending on the rest of your room. Also, I recently bought 2 sofa sets- one tan and one green, both microfiber. we had them sprayed with the protectant, but they are still horrible to clean. water leaves more marks than the original stain. I had to call the warranty people to clean them. Just thought you should know if you are considering microfiber, in my case, it hasn't been easy to clean. Good luck!
You should stick to Neutral colors since your carpet is cream and your sofa is burgundy. Go to a Home Depot or Lowes type of store and ask a paint clerk to help you with neutral colors.
Your tan color is neutral so anything will go. It all depends on the style of your home. Are you modern, traditional, country, etc? Will you be placing a rug on top of the carpet? I always say to stay neutral in a sofa because it is a large investment and you can change paint, pillows, draperies and rugs for a quick change. If you are someone who gets bored easily and wants to change every five years or so, then you can go with whatever to change with the trends. Are you looking for leather? Like black or brown or burgundy? Are you looking for fabric? A modern red or orange would look great. A traditional green or navy would look great. A deep rich brown would look great. Determine your style and look to adjacent rooms for cohesion. If you want a sofa to last a long time, choose a good brand company for the long hall. Ethan Allen, Lazy Boy, Broyhill, etc. Google upscale sofas. If you want to replace in five years, then look to your neighborhood stores. You really need to sit in a sofa to feel it out. Shorter people feel more comfortable with a seat that is not so deep. Taller people like a high back. It is very personal. The seat cushion could be soft, medium or hard. Go around and sit in some at showrooms and find out what is comfortable for you and your family. Then ask for the dimensions so if you decide to order online you will know how deep the seat should be and the back height as well as the firmness of the cushion. Happy shopping!
