If you already have bright furniture, our first tip will work best for you! Surround the new couch with light and color. All different hues work best; that way, as it tones down the electricity of all the other furniture. The background should be either white or a neutral. To add to the lightness of the room, try a white rug!

To play around with the style of the room as well, use furniture and tables made out of wood and metal. It will give it a harder feel, instead of a soft, feminine feel. This technique works best if the couch color you’re using is a little on the darker side, such as a pure blue or a Kelly green. Depending on what the look is you’re going for, you can soften it up with lighter colored accessories.

If you don’t want an overload of white just to make the couch work, try using a neutral paint color with a white trim. Use a beige rug instead of white if you’d like. To tie in the eccentric couch, use large artwork pieces and a few colorful accessories. This way is supposed to keep the room simple with a few accents.

Our last designer tip is opposite of every room suggestion so far! Go dark on the walls. What?! We know. Use dark charcoal walls with a bright rug and cheery accessories. Bring in the lively couch to brighten up the room! It’s a different method, but if you typically go for a darker room than the fresh, light room, this is the way to go.

You can do so much with white in the background, and it automatically gives it this fresh, airy touch. Have fun with the room. Mix it up. Show off your style!
