Bold sofas

Written by Shereen Lurie

Common design advice dictates you should always choose a neutral sofa and introduce colour into your living room with colourful accessories. We, however, are firm believers that rules are made to be broken. Bright, bold sofas take centre stage when they are placed in the right context with complimentary accessories and colour schemes. Take a look at our favourites…

This emerald velvet sofa fits right in in this undeniably bohemian living room. Dark, gothic themed wallpaper helps to highlight the statement piece without competing for too much attention.
