How do you style a room with a blue sofa?

One way to do it is this warm, inviting farmhouse-inspired living room filled with art, furniture, decorative objects and more. A soft, generous blue sofa with a cozy rounded shape stands at its heart. This room might be full of things but it still feels elegant and calm. Sticking to traditional-style furniture and going for a restrained color palette – blue, gray, white and black – help keep the look together.

Or maybe a nature-inspired cottage style?

This comfortable blue sofa with a classic, clean-lined look stands in a cottage-style living room inspired by Scandinavian nature. The fresh color palette – blue, white, green and wooden tones – evokes the feeling of being in a northern forest, among the lakes and trees. The throw and the extra cushions add comfort and coziness as well as spicing things up with different patterns, colors and textures.

What color of cushions go with a blue sofa?

Extra cushions open up a world of affordable opportunities! You can calm things down with earth colors or liven things up with a strong accent color, for example. Patterns will have a big impact, too. And why not boost the look and feel with cushion covers made from different materials with interesting textures?

What colors go best with a blue couch?

It’s really up to you and what you like but here’s a couple of ideas. In one, a light blue sofa stands in a room with pastel colors balanced with a little brown. The combination helps create a playful but sophisticated style. The other has mostly subdued, darker colors but mixes in brighter clicks to add energy.
