When thinking about a living room, the sofa is one of the most prominent pieces of furniture in the environment. Thinking about its colors is to keep in mind that the chosen tone will be the great reference of the space. The trends are the most diverse, but there are some important details. Therefore, read this article and understand more about the subject.
Sofa Colors
As the sofa is not a piece of furniture that people change frequently, the shades need to be more consistent to last a long time in your space. Thus, the architect Tatiana Marques gives some tips for more classic colors and warns about the new trends.
Sofa Color Trends for 2023
According to the architect, "one of the big bets for 2023 are very classic and timeless tones, but without leaving the previous trends aside. So, if you are a person who likes change and prefers the different, take note of the colors below:
Caramel
With the inclusion of earthy tones in decoration as a strong trend in recent years, the caramel sofa is one of this year's bets and this color goes with different decoration styles. Leather and linen upholstery are the most sought after.
Blue
Blue is another trend. Its variations of tones imprint different sensations, think that the darker one guarantees sobriety in the space, while the medium and light tones refer to elements of nature. This color gained space during social isolation, when people started to look for a greater sense of comfort and well-being inside the house.
Colors (pink, yellow, red, green)
In addition to this search for sensations of comfort, there was a great demand for elements that inspired creativity, because many people started working from home during the pandemic. Saturated colors, such as red and yellow, fulfilled this function well, as well as pink and its variations, which can contrast between calmness and sophistication.
For Tatiana, besides the choice of colors, the model and the material of the sofa also change according to the trend. For 2022, buclê type fabrics and fendi models are the most in evidence, ensuring sophistication and durability.
Classic Colors for Sofa
To keep up with fashion and ensure a color full of durability, Tatiana Marques' greatest bets are beige and neutral colors, which go with everything and can be applied to different fabrics. These shades can be applied in the following examples:
White and beige
Neutral tones do not fall into disuse and with sofas it is no different. White and beige are timeless classics, because besides matching everything, they also guarantee sophistication and elegance to all kinds of decoration. Keep an eye on these two colors if you want to invest in minimalism.

O ultimate gray was one of Pantone's color predictions for 2021 and prevailed in 2022, but gray and graphite have been a color trend for sofas since the last decade. Used mainly in living areas, its neutrality matches all kinds of decoration.
Black
Just like caramel, black is present in leather upholstery and in armchairs, especially in living rooms and offices. This color is elegant and it is possible to create a more intimate and virile environment. The choice is right for those who do not want to take risks with the color and especially if you do not want a sofa that is easy to stain.
When choosing the ideal color for the sofa, keep in mind the proposal you want to create for the environment in which it will be accommodated, because this color will have great influence on the style of decoration.
How to choose the color of your sofa
To complement this, take note of the tips scored by Tatiana Marques to choose the color of the sofa that best meets your day-to-day needs:
- Understand your proposal: To determine the color of the sofa, you must first look at your decor as a whole. If there are already several striking colors, the ideal is to invest in a more sober color; but, if it is the opposite, colorful sofas are a good choice;
- Think about durability: Because it is a piece of furniture that stands out and is highly resistant, the ideal is for you to choose a color that will not make you sick and, most of all, that is democratic for possible changes in the environment over the years;
- Evaluate your routine: If you have pets or children at home, choose a color that doesn't get dirty easily: "Grey in darker shades, earthy tones, Fendi and Burgundy models work well in environments with greater circulation", points out the architect;
- Combining different colors: "If the sofa is a striking color - such as emerald green, navy blue, dark gray - bet on neutral and lighter colored rugs, complement it with vibrant colored pictures and centerpieces for striking environments," Tatiana suggests;
- Waterproofing always: For the professional, regardless of the color chosen for the sofa, waterproofing should be done as soon as possible: "In addition to facilitating daily cleaning, it also ensures the durability of the piece," she concludes.
Investing in a good sofa goes beyond the color, because it is important to think about the quality, the expectations created for the decoration, the model that best fits the style of the room, and the dimensions that fit the space in which it will be installed.
