Which brown sofa is right for my home?
A brown sofa is a classic staple of living room décor for a reason – it provides a versatile canvas that works beautifully in just about any style. The trick is finding the right type of sofa that suits your space.
For smaller living rooms, a 2 seater sofa offers style and comfort without overwhelming the space, while a sofa bed is perfect for transforming a snug living room into a sleep sanctuary when guests come to stay. Alternatively, if you’ve got more space to work with, a recliner or corner sofa will give you somewhere to kick back and relax in ultimate comfort.
You should also think about the material of your sofa. For example, a leather sofa is sleek, durable and can be easy to maintain, whereas a fabric sofa always delivers a cosy and inviting vibe in your living room. You can even opt for a velvet or boucle design to create an interesting contrast of textures across your décor.
What colour goes with a brown sofa?
That’s the beauty of brown - pretty much any colour pairs perfectly with the warm and earthy tones, letting you experiment with your living room style.
Keep things calm and cohesive by complementing your sofa with a chair in another neutral colour, such as beige, cream, or grey. This combination of understated hues will allow the richness of the brown to take centre stage in your living room – especially when paired with a lovely fluffy rug or patterned scatter cushions to bring the look to life.
If you’re aiming for a more maximalist motif, you can also contrast with vibrant colours. Whether you opt for a light or dark brown sofa, contrasting the colour with a jewel-toned accent chair in emerald green, sapphire blue, or mustard yellow will always catch the eye.
How do I care for my brown sofa?
While a dark or chocolate brown sofa can be great for hiding minor marks and scuffs, you might worry about the suitability of a lighter shade of brown for a busy household. But with a little care, you can keep your sofa looking its best, no matter the hue.
All you need to do is give your sofa a gentle vacuum once a week with a soft brush attachment to avoid damaging the upholstery, lifting away any dust, crumbs, or pet hair. Then for light marks or recent spills, just blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth.
For trickier stains, we always recommend using our specially formulated care kits. They’re designed specifically for use on our sofas, so you know you have the right tools when you go to clean up a scuff, spill or stain.
