Sofa Swap

We thought it would be fun to show you three ways we used the same sofa. This totally retro sofa was quite a find, but also a little of a design challenge considering what else we had available. 

The first photo shows the sofa with a sweet tufted barrel chair in a light blue. The chair was about the same vintage as the sofa, same size, and just as colorful. We added a neutral, casual rug to make the space playful and youthful. The light colors soften the room. We also added some vintage accessories to accentuate the 50's theme. 

The second photo shows two black rattan chairs in the room. We kept the same casual look and 50's vibe. Here, the dark of the chairs and pillows balance the green.

The final photo shows how the sofa would look in a more formal and traditional setting.  Here we used a lot of wood and dark colors to temper the green. 

Each room has a different size and style coffee table, different color chairs, and different accessories, resulting in a different look. Your furniture will also transform depending on how you work it. So don't be fenced in! Create the look you want.
