Every detail in the living room interior matters. Particular attention should be paid to the choice of a sofa, while the blue model will become a very bright detail of the furnishings. But in order for it to look organically in the room, you need to take into account the style and design of the living room. Let's figure this out by examining in more detail all the nuances of placing a blue sofa in the interior of the hall.
The richness of the palette

Properties
It is equally important to familiarize yourself with the influence of blue on the interior of the room.
It has been proven that this color soothes, adjusts to work, puts thoughts in order.Therefore, blue details in the interior of the living room are undoubtedly a win-win option.
Does the dark blue color affect the space of the room? Of course. In a small room, it visually increases the space, and in a large room, on the contrary, decreases it.
All because the blue sofa attracts attention. And also a lot depends on the correct lighting of the room.
In the design of a living room with a blue sofa, the location of the windows should be taken into account: if the windows face the south side, then you can safely make the room in cold colors, but if to the north, then the choice is limited to a blue sofa with the addition of bright details.
Combination with other colors
We decided on the color of the sofa, got acquainted with the properties, now you need to understand what shades the dark blue tones are combined with.
- White. The most common combination is white and blue. If you are afraid that the combination of these tones in the living room design will be too cold, then you can dilute the interior with bright details.
- Yellow... A blue sofa set against a background of banana or vanilla walls will create a very comfortable beach atmosphere in the living room. Bright yellow is also combined with it, but it is important not to overdo it with the saturation of the details.
- Red... The combination of red with blue tones is a bold decision. Therefore, you need to carefully approach the choice of red details. It is better that they are dark red shades: wine, cherry, burgundy.
- Black. At first glance, this combination may seem strange, but with the right accents, you get a discreet, elegant living room. But when choosing such a room palette, you need to take care of proper lighting.
- Brown. Difficult color matching, because if it is wrong to choose brown details in conjunction with a blue sofa, then you get too complex artsy interior of the room.
Suitable living room design
There are a lot of design options with a blue sofa, besides, you can come up with one yourself. But we will look at three main types of living room or hall design.
- Solid interior. Such an interior implies the use of shades of the same color in the design of a room. In our case, it is blue. We select a sofa in indigo color (or any other shade of blue), wallpaper in moonlight or light blue, and you can also hang curtains in electric blue. As a result, we have got a calm living room in blue tones.
- Light interior with an accent. Unlike the previous version, in this one - only the sofa is blue (you can add curtains of any blue shade) on a white or gray background.
- Bright palette. This is a very daring design option, so you need to carefully select the details and combine the colors correctly. A good example of such a dynamic and warm design is the combination of a blue sofa against a background of vanilla-colored wallpaper with bright red and orange details in the form of pillows, floor lamps and paintings.
Styles
Let's analyze the styles in which the presence of this element will be appropriate.
- Modern - it is a style that implies comfort and coziness. In this case, the sofa acts as the main accent, the decoration of the room is made in pastel colors. Carpets, framed photographs, paintings (preferably in neutral colors) and houseplants will complement the cozy interior of the living room.
- Country. This rustic style involves the use of natural colors and materials. If you focus on a blue sofa (you can choose a checkered one), supplemented with photographs, vases and wooden parquet, you get a unique stylish living room.
- Classic. Since this versatile style implies an emphasis on furniture, the predominance of natural shades and almost the absence of bright details, the blue sofa will perfectly fit into such an interior.
Accommodation options
In order not to spoil the new sofa, it is not recommended to put it near the window, so that it does not lose color, and also near the battery, so as not to break the frame.
Well, where to put the sofa in the living room is purely your decision.
But here are some tips for a good couch position.
- By the free wall. In a small room, you need to put the sofa so that it does not interfere. Therefore, after placing the sofa against a free wall, do not place any other furniture next to it, so as not to clutter up the living room. You can put a wall or a wardrobe in front of you, and a coffee table next to it in a convenient place.
- In the middle. If the size of the living room allows, then the sofa can be placed right in the middle of the room, placing chairs and a coffee table next to it. In some cases, the sofa can serve to divide the room into zones.
- In the corner. If the sofa is angular, then you can create a very cozy seating area in the living room by complementing the sofa with armchairs. And you can also put a coffee table and floor lamps.
If you follow these simple rules, then you can easily create such a cozy and calm corner in your home.
