How to Modernise a Room With Contemporary Sofas
Redecorating an entire room can be a long and expensive task. However, it is easy to refresh a room with a single piece of furniture. Contemporary sofas are one way to revamp a room's existing decor. These sofas feature modern styling and cleans lines that will update all of your surroundings.
In addition to minimalist colours such as black, grey, and white, modern sofas are also available in a wide variety of bright and unique colours. Some of the choices include vibrant reds, blues, and purples. Some more unique colours offered are chartreuse, baby blue, and shades of yellow. These hues go beyond the traditional brown and beige shades that are often found in homes.
While many classically designed sofas feature upholstery with floral patterns and other prints, modern sofa models are often a single colour for a clean look. Simple fabrics and clean lines are the hallmarks of contemporary design. If there is a pattern, it is a larger and more graphic print, often seen with contrasting colours for an extra "pop" of colour.
The shape and features of contemporary sofas are where they stand apart from other models. Many modern sofas feature minimalist lines and basic cushion shapes. Some styles are sleek and sit on thin legs. These styles often have thin cushions to accompany the couch, if any. With this simple style, contrasting throw pillows pull together a room's colour scheme more than pillows that match the furniture's fabric.
Other styles offer more unique shapes. Some couches are less structured than classic sofas. These can be large, overstuffed sofas that almost resemble bean bag chairs. There are no legs on this design, and the arms and back of the sofa are smoothly fused together to form a continuous line.
Some modern sofas have a more "Zen" appeal and sit directly on the floor without legs. These styles often feature seating that is wider than classic sofas. Some can be as wide as a twin bed. There are also sectional styles that feature a chaise longue end at one or both ends.
Modern designs can have a more classic feel, too. Many of these sofas have such clean and simple lines that they easily transition into a room's existing decor, and can be built upon with unique throw pillows and blankets to blend make the sofa a relaxing focal point of the room.
Consider the room when choosing a new sofa. Some minimally-designed rooms can highlight an interesting piece of furniture, while other rooms benefit from a modern sofa that seamlessly blends in with other furniture and artwork.
