From Drab to Fab: How to Make Your Green Color Sofa Pop

Many people are intimidated by a green sofa when there’s no need to be!

A green sofa can easily elevate your living room and it serves as a great statement piece. Since green is associated with nature, a green sofa will welcome this earthy aesthetic.

There are plenty of options to choose from, from a velvet traditional two-seater to a modern corner sofa that will fit your style the best!

If you’re looking to ditch the regular old gray sofa, a green one will be perfect! Just be careful with styling, especially if you’ve never worked with green before.

If you do it right, the green will elevate the style of your entire room!

Without further ado, let’s dive into the world of green sofas and the best ways to style them!

Which Color Green Should I Choose?

Choosing the right shade of green for your sofa can be a challenge, so you need to take your time and decide which one will work best with the color scheme you have planned out!

What Colors Should I Pair It With?

It’s vital that you pair your green sofa with colors that compliment it.

Green is a great color to work with but it can be tricky pairing it with certain colors, here we have a couple of them that work great together:

Yellow

@mycradleofdreams

Pops of yellow are very welcome with a green sofa, especially if your sofa is army green or sage green.

Add yellow accents through pillows, paintings, rugs, and even walls!

Dusty Pink

Dusty pink helps break up the boldness of the green sofa. It gives a nice contrast between the muted pink and the bold green.

You can add an accent pink wall or even add a pink chair next to the sofa to bring out this contrast even more!

Copper

Copper decor has become very popular recently, and luckily the color copper pairs well with green!

Beige

Beige is a color that will always be classy and in style. If you have no other ideas, but you want your space to be elegant, go with beige accents!

Green

Lastly, green pairs well with green! Shocker I know. But if you’re all out of ideas, you can always go for a monochrome look, just make sure that you reaaaally love the color green!

Materials and Patterns

When it comes to materials and patterns, it all depends on your vibe.

A green couch can either pull you down an eclectic route, or you can go in the direction of earthy modern!

Eclectic Style

If you’re going with the eclectic vibe, you can mix and match different prints and patterns with all of the complementary colors I’ve mentioned already.

This will make your green couch pop out even more!

Earthy Modern

However, if you’re going for an earthy modern look, the patterns that go well with your green sofa are knitted, you’ll usually see this on rugs and pillows.

Pairing your green sofa with natural materials like wood and stone is also a win in my book. These natural materials really bring out the ‘earthy‘ in ‘Earthy Modern‘!

Conclusion

A green sofa can look wonderfully in your space if you handle it well. It’s not as scary as it might look, you just need to pair it with its complementary colors, like any other sofa!

If you’re looking to branch out and replace that dusty green couch you’ve been hating recently, this is your sign to do it right now and get yourself a green sofa!
