Yellow sofas: use in the interior, color combinations

The yellow sofa, thanks to its cozy sunny color, will certainly attract attention and become a stylish accent in the interior. We will try to answer in more detail the questions about how to choose the optimal model, and with what shades to combine yellow.

At the mention of yellow, associations with the sun, warmth, light and pleasant emotions immediately arise. Many people are impressed by this joyful touch in the interior, so modern manufacturers offer a wide selection of sofas in this color scheme. According to psychologists, color adjusts a person to an optimistic mood, improves mood, gives courage. It is proved that yellow contributes to the generation of new ideas, and by surrounding himself with objects of this color, a person accepts alternative points of view much more easily.

However, yellow has both positive and negative effects. With an excessive amount of shade, it causes such unpleasant conditions in a person as:

• excessive criticality;
• uncontrollable desire to argue;
• excessive self-confidence;
• intolerance.

Depending on the purpose of the yellow sofa, there are three main options for this type of furniture.

• Folding. This is a sofa bed that performs several functions at once: in the daytime, this furniture is assembled and is used for communicating with friends, relaxing with a book, watching TV or gadgets, and at night it moves apart and creates a full-fledged sleeping place. Such models usually have the highest technical and operational characteristics, and depending on the transformation mechanism, they can be performed in different versions: "book", "eurobook", "click-gag", "dolphin", "accordion" and many others.

• Stationary... This is a non-folding model with legs. As a rule, it is installed in living rooms to separate functional areas in the interior.

• Modular. Such sofas consist of several sections, which can be interchanged and create the necessary composition depending on the particular use of furniture. For example, at night they can be folded into a comfortable sofa, and during the day they can be divided into free-standing ottomans.

The appearance of the yellow sofa and the duration of its operation largely depend on the correct choice of upholstery. That is why, even at the stage of purchase, it is important to take into account the peculiarities of using this furniture. So, if you are planning to place a sofa in a nursery or there are pets in your house, then it is better to turn out right away from expensive materials that require a very careful attitude. In this case leather furniture should be avoided, since leather is very capricious and at the same time expensive.

Let's consider more practical options.
