what colour are your sofas?

thefuturemrsclarke, 29 August, 2010 at 20:36 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 23

H2b doesnt like the blue 1 i posted earlier, whilst we were looking round shops today we didnt really see many we liked. we dont want leather, we want fabric, but they are all either black brown or cream. and im so fed up with neutrals that i wanted something a bit different. cream is a no go, thats what we have now and im forever washing it. im not a brown lover. but black seems quite harsh. our walls are cream but we can decorate so thats not really a problem, we will have wooden flooring a well.

give me some inspiration please?

    Ours are light brown fabric with a leather bottom. not what you're after at all. I really liked the sofa you flashed earlier. What about toning down the blue to a duck egg blue or similar?

    Dark brown leather here, so no help. On the plus side, no stains from grubby children visible and easy to clean!

    My mum has raspberry coloured fabric sofas from Laura Ashley and I love them.

    Cream fabric - I hate it! It's SOOOO dirty from when the cats come in with wet paws, and they've scratched the front to death. Looks crap when it hasn't got it's throw on it (Now! it's in the wash) but it's practical for us cos it's a sofa bed, one of those decent ones with a metal frame, so it's still comfy as a sofa.

    Cream leather here as well I'm afraid. I liked the ones you posted yesterday. Shame your H doesn't.

    M&S do a varied range of different types of sofas.

    We have a cream leather one with a beige bit on the bottom. People thought we were mad to get cream but it just wipes clean. I know what you mean about neutral colours but we painted our walls green so the cream goes fine.

    Also the one we had before this was the Klippan from IKEA so you could change the covers, we had bright bright red.
