Default most interesting subject of all: my couch.

so i just bought a new couch and love seat, and had a really hard time deciding on the fabric color.

which do you like ?

i can't think of a better place to ask for decorating advice than OOT.




this is the style couch & loveseat i bought (pretty sure this is the same red as lipstick rendezvous, just different lighting):


i'll probably get like black endtables and make some abstract painting of reds/blacks to hang behind the couch. and buy a new tv and black tv stand. pics of current boring living room here.

Burgundy/darkish reds and dark greens are typically the two "classy colors." Very popular among the rich. I think they got it right on that one, which helps make up for the whole pink polo shirt fiasco.

I'd recommend the darker one. Easier on the eyes long term. Bright stuff is cool until you get tired of it, then it can just feel a little too hyped up and strident, kind of annoying. Makes you feel like turning away from it.

I'll go for a feeling of deep comfort as opposed to "Wow, look at me!" in furnishings any day. Cuz sooner or later, the "Look at me!" effect gets answered with a "So what?" or "Shut up already."

Save the bright stuff for accents -- pillows, lamps, whatever. The effect is much more stylish and less one-note, I feel.

JMO.

I like the lighter of the two. It's easier to decorate around lighter colors.

I prefer a more benign color. That red is too busy.
