Talking about a living room with a black sofa already reminds us of a glamorous environment, but very dark and heavy, isn’t it? Well, this will depend a lot on the construction and composition of the environment. Gone are the days when black sofas stole all the light and space from rooms!
Currently, the black sofa is synonymous with a contemporary composition, in addition to being super versatile in terms of its materials and in combination with other colors. That’s why they are returning with everything to interior decoration.
After all, we don’t talk about “little black dress” without good reason, do we? In today’s post, we’re going to talk about the possibilities of the black sofa in decoration, in addition to its advantages and a super inspiring gallery for you to start planning yours!
Black sofa: the advantages
For those who have had light or colored sofas, this advantage draws a lot of attention: the black sofa hides stains and dirt more than the lighter versions. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to be washed! But maintenance can be done in a simpler way.
Incidentally, the leather versions of the black sofa have this double advantage: cleaning can be done more easily and superficially, with a cloth and the right product for this type of material.
Another advantage of the black sofa is the one we already mentioned: black is a basic color that allows for an infinite number of combinations.
From white, gray to color, the choice of combinations will greatly influence the lighting and lightness of the environment. This allows you to switch between different styles (almost) in a pillow change!
How to break the intensity of black
There is the main reason why people find the black sofa too heavy: this color, although basic, is very intense. In color psychology, it is treated as the color of power and mystery, but its versatility can turn these meanings around very easily!
The first tip (and the most important) to not let black weigh so much in your environment is: use contrasts! White is the most classic and suitable color to play this role.
But if you don’t want an environment based on B&W, think of raw tones, pastels or an off-white palette. These light tones offer a good contrast of light in black (even if it is predominant) and can end up inserting a secondary color, such as light blue, light green or pink.
Another tip is: for younger and more relaxed environments, it is worth using other vibrant colors. The black and red combination is super classic, but the yellow and black is entering the decor with everything!
And remember that the contrast with warmer colors creates a more fun and relaxed balance with black, while combinations with blue, purple and green can end up making the environment colder and heavier. Keep an eye out for this when decorating!
From contemporary to classic in an instant!
Black sofas are almost always associated with a more contemporary climate — in the minimalist and industrial style, they are even more recurrent. But some compositions can very easily enter a style considered classic and sophisticated.
This will depend both on the choice of sofa model and on the choice of other decorative elements, be they cushions, chandeliers, corner or coffee tables, and even the objects that will be placed in that environment.
After all, the Chesterfield sofa model, created in the early 20th century by the Earl of Chesterfield, Phillipe Stanhope, pleases different styles of decoration, from classic to industrial.
What will define the style of the environment is its composition with the rest of the decoration of the room.
So our tip is: don’t just think about choosing the sofa to define your living room. All furniture, objects and even the choice of wallpaper or paint influence the style your room can take.
