Designing with a Statement Sofa<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Why choose a statement sofa over a nice comfortable neutral? Because it\u2019s awesome, that\u2019s why. \u00a0No further reasoning necessary. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. How do I avoid my statement sofa overpowering my room? \u00a0The statement sofa is meant to overpower the room, but in a good way. \u00a0The trick is to allow it to be the focal point and the other elements to compliment. \u00a0If you allow other accents to compete for attention you may end up with a visual mess. \u00a0To do this, first make sure your colors are balanced. \u00a0Choose complementary colors. \u00a0For reference, check out colors opposite on the color wheel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Alternatively, you can repeat the shade of the sofa throughout the room. \u00a0Pillows, drapes, and rugs with the same accent color would be a good idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Finally, when designing a room around a statement sofa, remove anything else that may compete for attention. \u00a0Avoid televisions, colorful children’s toys, and bold art work in a room with a statement sofa. \u00a0Remember, the sofa is the art you wish to feature.<\/span><\/p>\n
