Calming Décor – Blue Living Room
Cool colors like blues and whites evoke feelings of calmness and relaxation. Make your living room the calm center of your home by incorporating blues and whites that complement your dark blue couch into your décor. Paint the walls of your living room a light to medium blue. Paint any trim including window and door trim a dark blue that matches your sofa. Select a white or bluish-beige carpet for the floor.
Calm Color Scheme |
If your living room is already floored with a beautiful hardwood, find an area rug in shades of blue and white for the center of the room instead of wall-to-wall carpeting. For curtains, find a striped pattern that includes the dark blue of your sofa. A solid fabric in a contrasting shade of color can also make your windows stand out as a focal point from the rest of the room. Pull in colors from your curtains by adding blankets, pillows, and other accessories around your living room. Your dark blue couch will blend into the calmness of the rest of the room.
Focal Point Couch
If you are really fond of the color, you should consider making your dark blue couch the focal point of your living room. Paint your living room walls white and use a dark brown for any trim including windows and doors. Place the dark blue sofa directly in front of a white wall. Select a dark red carpet or area rug for the floor.
Focal Point Color Scheme |
For your curtains, select a pattern with browns, reds, and pinks. Use a fabric in a dark blue that matches your couch for the curtain lining. Pull in the pinks and reds from the fabrics by adding pillows and blankets in matching shades to your couch. Select natural wood furniture in dark browns for coffee, side, and entertainment tables. You dark blue couch will stand out as a focal point against the more subdued browns and reds but without screaming for attention.
Seaside Living Room
Another fun theme that suits a dark blue couch perfectly is a seaside theme with blues, whites, yellows, and greens. Paint the walls of your living room sandy yellow or sea foam green. Paint any trim the opposite color: yellow walls with green trim or green walls with yellow trim. Select fabric for curtains in a fun pattern that contains the dark blue of your couch. Paint furniture with paint of complementing colors.
