While following these tips, certain common questions can pop into the mind.
Should the sofa be lighter or darker than the walls?
If your sofa is the dominant feature of your space, then opt for a lighter shade on the walls. For example, light grey or taupe painted walls work well with white and black sofas. On the other hand, if you have patterned wallpapers or lots of artwork to display, a darker sofa will help to draw attention to these.
On the whole, if you want your sofa to stand out, choose a more neutral color for your walls, which is lighter than your sofa color. Having a dark wall color and dark sofa color can make the room feel smaller rather than larger and inviting. However, if your walls are a very deep neutral or dark tone in a large space, then dark sofas will suit better than light sofas as both will be part of the same scheme.
Should your couch match your walls?
You can use a sofa that matches your wall color, but it doesn't have to be the same shade. The goal is to create contrast without having two competing colors.
But sometimes, this technique might backfire. For example, if your sofa is brown and your wall color is tan, the look of a tan wall may become muddy next to a brown sofa. On the other hand, tan is more likely to work if the sofa is gray or the wall is white.
Why not find a bright complementary color for your walls? One that's crazy enough that it becomes the backbone rolling through all of your furniture, instead of the sofa is the cornerstone for every other piece of furniture in the room?
