Royal blue tufted sofas make a regal impression in a neoclassical living room. Team with metallic gold accent tables to enrich the scheme.
Modern and abstract. Employ blue sofa sections and back pillows to break up a large seating arrangement. This approach works particularly well in abstract decor schemes with sculptural elements.
Industrial bolt of blue. Raw concrete, natural wood tone, and matt black powder coated metal makes a moody industrial background. Fix in a bolt of blue to shake up the shadowy aesthetic.
Connect with nature. Blue is the color of the ocean and the sky, so goes hand-in-hand with lush greenery and floral prints.
Elegant eclectic. Make a mashup of styles, time periods, and color with an eclectic concoction. A soft blue tufted sofa will have a calming effect on the busy blend.

The wrap around. Create a loop of color around your living room with an L-shaped blue sofa and a blue focal wall.
Color isolation. In an open plan living room, a blue sofa and matching walls can be used to create zoning. By sticking to just one color in the lounge, it is clearly distinguished from an adjacent dining spot or kitchen.
Aqua infusions. Blue and turquoise melds make a magical watery aesthetic.
A pop of purple. Shake up your blue furniture arrangement with a punchy purple area rug.
Rustic rebel. Cream and brown decor elements make a fitting rustic palette but a navy blue leather couch adds a unique touch.
Muted meld. Gray walls and fitted cabinets make a muted accompaniment for a rich blue couch. The result is a sophisticated palette with dark drama.
Tie in with a feature wall. Complement the specific shade of your couch with a color-matched wall. You’ll find a fabric swatch under the seat cushions of your sofa; take it to the paint store for a custom mix.
The center of attention. Use a standout sofa color and a double sided sectional arrangement to create a central focal point in a large living space.
