However, I have a patterned blue plaid settee in my office that I love and was pretty pricey to have covered. Of the two that I'm loving more? The plaid settee. I think my next living room furniture will be of the type that I can make (or have made)custom fitted slip covers so when I change my mind (like I tend to do) I can change them as well. Colored pillows just doesn't cut it.PamDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04665101465799990453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734628266159548947.post-86531233299551962702010-01-14T14:29:10.946-06:002010-01-14T14:29:10.946-06:00I have both a neutral sofa (in my family room) and...I have both a neutral sofa (in my family room) and a patterned sofa in coffee brown, pomegranate, artichoke, and golden yellow. Having both is the best of both worlds.

We weren't looking for orange, but it was a great piece at a great price, and we couldn't pass it up :-) Of course, now I need to figure out how to decorate the loft around a big piece of orange furniture!!<br /><br />I just wrote a post a few days ago about Couch. Now THESE are brightly coloured sofas!!<br /><br /><a href="http://design-ties.blogspot.com/2010/01/kaleidoscope-colours-of-couch.html" rel="nofollow">The kaleidoscope colours of Couch</a><br /><br />Kelly<br /><br /><br /><br />KellyDesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734628266159548947.post-17146538659354533662010-01-13T12:10:03.995-06:002010-01-13T12:10:03.995-06:00I recently purchased a sofa for the family room an...I recently purchased a sofa for the family room and went with a neutral pattern with lots of texture. This choice is based on three dogs which enjoy sleeping on the furniture. My formal living room sofa has a neutral base color with a deep red toile pattern but the room is blocked from the dogs. This piece is striking from the front window and really makes an impact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734628266159548947.post-30736924560633436042010-01-13T11:50:50.062-06:002010-01-13T11:50:50.062-06:00I agree with the neutral and adding color with acc...I agree with the neutral and adding color with accessories.........good to hear that others think the same way.

I tell them to go neutral and bring in color and/or pattern with pillows and throws. Those are inexpensive enough to change out when you tire of the color or pattern ~ the sofa is not. I made the mistake of buying a patterned sofa with a dark blue background about 15 years ago. By the end of the week, I should have my white slipcover on it.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734628266159548947.post-50754318899706846772010-01-13T11:14:58.547-06:002010-01-13T11:14:58.547-06:00Both of my sofas have color and lots of pattern wh...Both of my sofas have color and lots of pattern which I love, but in order to add much more versatility to my decorating, I would totally play it safe next time around and add color with accessories. I love change, so lots of pattern and color in a larger piece limit the ability to change and inhibits creativity a little bit.<br />Marie, thanks again for your prayers and kindness.<br />Have a great day.Love the Decor!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04961834150274237880noreply@blogger.com
