Sofa Candy? Do you dare?

I know, I know. Everyone says it, beige or gray is the fabric color of choice when designing a sofa. If you choose a neutral color then when the time for a change comes all you have to do is repaint or change out your throw pillows. I spend hours a day helping people sort through hundreds of samples of beige colored fabric with minute variations of shade so I know just how popular neutrals are. Its a practical choice no doubt about it but sometimes it feels like the khaki pants of furniture.
This year its all about color: neon colors, jewels tones, color blocking. Yes even for your sofa. After all, the sofa is where you retire to at the end of a long day to relax and watch TV with the kids or even your cat and its also the piece of furniture that you really invest in. So why not make it the focal point of your living room? Here are some fantastic possibilities but don't let these limit you. We have hundreds of beautiful fabrics in a variety of spellbinding colors.


The Orange Roxy Sofa from The SofaWorks, starting at $1595. This sofa will be the focal point of any room and will add a lot of old Hollywood Glamour to boot. Time to bust out the diamonds and your silk robe.
 
 
 
 
 
This is a blue slope arm custom sofa which is always a popular choice. This style starts at $895.
 
The Constanzo Sofa in blue starts around $995 from The SofaWorks. This mid-century classic will kick your living room up a few notches.
 
I know, these are definitely not a sofa but these sandwich chairs in bright yellow are spectacularly eye catching.
 
Small light blue velvet settee, its so sweet I want to eat it up.
 
Burgundy Roll Arm style starting at $895. This sofa combines classic style but really pops with some deep jewel like color.
 
One of my favorites. This green leather Chesterfield will be around when your grandchildren are ready to build forts and will still look as beautiful and stylish then as it does today. Email me for a quote, amandaatsofaworks@gmail.com

Of course, despite my diatribe against neutrals, there is a definite possibility that when the time comes for us to buy a new sofa it will probably be gray. However I like to think that I can blame that oatmeal everyday choice on my significant other but don't tell him that or we may end up with a red leather Chesterfield.
