While your living room has many decorative features, nothing stands out more than your sofa. After all, it is one of the largest decorative elements in the room where you can relax or entertain. If you have quality furniture, you have a great canvas to work with when it comes to sofa décor. From decorative sofa pillows to couch end tables, the way you decide to style your couch can make an impact on the overall cohesiveness of the space.

Your sofa is the largest focal point of your living room, so make it something you love. Sofa styling offers many options to express your unique style. Use these tips to make your style stand out!

Look At The Color : Before you start buying all new products for your sofa, pay attention to the color. The best couches to decorate are ones in a neutral color, however, that doesn’t mean that brighter hues can’t look beautiful. Snap a photo or two of your sofa to reference when you shop at the store. It might be a good idea to take a few photos in a different light, so you’ll know if the décor fits at all times of the day.

Gray sofas are very trendy right now as the hot neutral. Gray sofas work well with bright and bold colors

For those with brown sofas, you can mix and match! Work great against lighter color neutrals also works well with deep colors such as green or red.

While the color of your couch is important, the material can also add a unique look. Black leather can either excite or scare homeowners. While almost any color goes well with black couches, you want to make sure the material choices you are making compliments the leather. Choose products with a matte finish rather than a shine. Use muted accessories with lots of texture to style your sofa perfectly.

Decorative Pillows : When it comes to couch décor, can one really have enough decorative pillows? With so many shapes and sizes available, you can really let your unique style shine.

Another great tip for the perfect decorative pillow combination is to vary the sets of sizes. Your largest pillows should rest closest to the sofa arms, working inward. A pillow that pops in the middle is a great touch to add, if possible.

Throws For Sofa : Everyone wants to cuddle up with their favorite blanket on the couch. It’s the perfect thing to relax. It’s also a great element to add when styling your sofa! 

However, it’s often in the way the throw blanket is resting on the sofa that will give a room a casual yet trending look.

Sofa Side Table :   If space allows, a small sofa side table can add to the look and function of the space. The sofa side table should be the height of the couch as it sits next to the arm. Keep it simple. Smaller, narrow side tables work best here. 

Sofa Lamps :   Lamps near the sofa also add a great style element as well as function if you do a lot of reading, writing or crafting on your couch. A sofa table lamp is a great choice that will provide adequate lighting to the arms of the couch.

Wall Décor Behind Sofa :   While much of your attention will be spent decorating your sofa and the area nearby, let’s not forget about the area above. Some homeowners have their couches placed up against a wall, leaving even more decorating canvas.
