Armchair and sofa: how to find the right agreement?

Our interior has an important dimension for each of us and our living room is an integral part of it. It is one of the main rooms of the house, it is both a place of welcome, but also one where we give ourselves to abandonment and rest. It corresponds to our need to feel good and it is important to create a harmony capable of meeting this legitimate expectation. Its layout must therefore be taken into account, especially in the choice and association of a sofa and a sofa. lounge chair. This choice may prove more delicate than it seems, so to avoid false notes, follow the guide...

For a moderate risk take we opt for the total look!

If you don't feel like an interior decorator soul, you should bet on safety. As a rule, sofas find their hanger in the form of an armchair. If it's in the same range, you won't have any difficulty finding an approximate version. Whether it's industrial look, boho, classic or design, you'll easily find the little brother of your lounge's star sofa. By choosing the same shades and materials you play on the harmony of the room. Then you'll define a rather warm tone, sand, beige, saffron for a classic look. The colder tones like white, blue or grey will give a more contemporary look.

The size and shape of the sofa, essential criteria

The size and shape of your sofa directly influence the choice of the chair. 3 seater sofa design, for example, leaves enough space to combine a matching armchair without overloading the room. A straight sofa leaves more freedom in the positioning of the seats and allows to explore various configurations. Cosy corner sofa, on the other hand, naturally occupies more space: the chair must then remain more discreet in its dimensions to avoid bulking the room. In both cases, be sure to keep a smooth circulation between the furniture.

We say yes to marriage between different subjects

Choose the right sofa It is a good thing to marry different materials like leather or imitation with the sudedine, linen, velvet... The pietements, armrests, shapes are the same but we play with the variation in the materials. This leaves more room for choice, because in fact the associations multiply to infinity, while giving a unique character to your living room. However, for a happy marriage, it is advisable to stay on the same tones and prioritize white, black or grey for a resolutely modern effect.

We play on color harmonization

Another option that is created in the same range, one changes only the color. That is, one associates the same product family but with different colors to choose from, usually two to three maximum. In the same series, one plays on the camaïeux, or more dared, with assortments white/black, gray/border... It is also a way to give peps to the whole, while being sure not to make false steps.

The detail that makes all the difference: we match and accessorize

Often, when you're away from a stroll or shopping trip, lightning strikes you for a decorative armchair that wasn't planned. Or simply the desire to add a missing room to the living room. No panic, it can find its place and keep your sofa company good. The only condition is that it is quite sober because often, the armchair brings the missing fancy touch. Now, let your desires run free to decorate the whole with accessories that will accompany and emphasize this little change to give it all its character. So why not a matching plaid placed on the sofa whose color makes a reminder of the armchair, or then a cushion, a pouf. A carpet can come to decorate the whole, and the curtains make a chromatic reminder.

Dare to follow the trend by mixing styles and colors!

You have to admit, the current trend is to mix styles and colors, to bring together modernity, and assert your style. It is a matter of breaking the codes and avoiding a linear look, and therefore sadder. You must then mix it up cleverly, for example, a leather sofa style club-style with industrial trend. It is also a good way to flirt with a form of timelessness. Accessories can also come to help harmonize this panaching and play on rather pastel colors, which it is advisable to limit to the maximum three. To avoid flops and keep a consistency, you will do too many heteroclites that can give a feeling of fluffy.
