When choosing cushioned furniture, you should think not only about how comfortable it is, but also how great it looks.

For instance, its color can make or break your perfect interior design, so you should remember about it when buying something new.

Here are a few tips that might help you.

Existing color scheme

Look at the colors already present in your living room, such as the wall paint, flooring, and other furniture. 

Choose a cushion color that complements or harmonizes with these existing colors.

Mood and atmosphere

Think about the mood and atmosphere you want to create in your living room. 

Lighter or neutral colors can give a sense of openness and tranquility, while bolder or vibrant colors can add energy and personality.

Size of the room

Consider the size of your living room. 

Lighter colors can make a small room appear more spacious, while darker colors can create a cozy and intimate feel in a larger room.

Practicality and maintenance

Keep in mind practical aspects such as ease of maintenance and cleaning. 

Light-colored cushions may require more frequent cleaning, especially in households with pets or young children.

Personal preference

Ultimately, choose a color that resonates with your personal taste and style. 

You should feel comfortable and enjoy the color you select.

Test it out

If possible, obtain fabric swatches or samples of the cushion colors you are considering. 

Place them in your living room and observe how they look under different lighting conditions throughout the day. 

This can help you visualize how the color will appear in your space.
