PLAIN COLOURS
We all love to brighten up our homes and fill it with vitality, but we are not always very daring when it comes to starting in the world of colour, but we can opt for plain colours that provide that vitality point we are looking for without neglecting elegance.
With this approach we will be able to adapt to more classic styles but at the same time we will break up the sobriety of the environment. The good thing about this option is that it offers us a wide range of possibilities, depending on the colour we can opt for as we can choose many decorative styles without clashing.

STAMPING
But if you prefer to break away from everything and bet heavily on the vividness of colour in all its splendor, it is time to opt for prints.
There are endless varieties of print, flowers, stripes, circles, etc... If we look for prints with beautiful colour combinations we will achieve unique spaces full of personality and vitality. Of course, it is important that we do not let this get out of hand, and move from a happy space to a crippling one.

For this, it is vitally important that if the sofa or chair has a lot of personality for its stamping, try to reduce the rest of the room’s look with strategically placed furniture or simpler tones, so that on the one hand, when entering the room it does not give us a sense of being overwhelm liked county fair, but on the other hand, the chair and its pattern reign king as being the center of attraction as it deserves.
SOFA STYLE
If you are thinking of reupholstering a sofa or armchair in any colour, whether it is plain or a stamped pattern, you must take into account the type of style that it is. Not all sofa styles accept all types of upholstery. There are certain styles which are better suited towards the use of more colours or patterns and some which suit less. For example, the chill out chairs, which have independent modules that we can place to our liking, are perfect for playing with different varieties of tones. We can, for example, choose three parts in one tone and another in a different tone that highlights the design; or put three parts in plain and one with a colourful pattern. The combinations are endless and the only limit is in your imagination.

If the sofa to be reupholstered is more of a classic style, like a Chester, we can opt for a very bright colour like a rose. Surely you will meet few people with such an authentic sofa, so your room will have a very personal, casual and cheerful feel to it.
As you can see it is simpler than it seems, you just have to combine all the elements well and turn your living room into your garden of Eden, because there is nothing like introducing colour to your house so that it transmits energy and positivity... Try it out and see the results for yourself.
