After all, it is the combination of colors that plays a key role in a harmonious interior, and in order not to make a mistake, you need to draw up a color scheme for the room yourself in advance or entrust this matter to a designer.
Tropical style or eco style
The shade should be as close as possible to the natural color.
Such a sofa should be placed near a window so that the rays of sunlight highlight the natural beauty of the sofa.
Successful combinations
Not only is the advantage of greenery charged with positive energy, but also its versatility and ability to harmonize with many colors and palettes.
If you wish, you can “marry” herbal with both black and orange, but combinations with the following colors are more preferable:
- White;
- Steel;
- Brown and its shades;
- Terracotta;
- Pastel pink;
- Soft blue and blue;
- Vasilkov;
- Beige.
In more detail, the marsh shade and asparagus will be good neighbors for white, steel and chocolate, soft green goes well with pink, blue, turquoise and cornflower blue, olive goes with the entire brown palette.
Saturated emerald, lime, malachite, light green need brighter “partners” - red, orange, yellow, indigo.
As for materials, green tones are in harmony with plastic, glass, as well as mirror, wooden surfaces and inserts.
Where to find a suitable sofa
The main difficulty when choosing a sofa is that the classic style mainly prevails in stores. But do not forget that there is such a service as custom sofas.
Using this service, you can design the sofa of your dreams, down to such details as the shade of the upholstery and the color of the legs. After all, a problematic situation often arises when you really like the sofa, but in terms of dimensions it does not fit into the room.
Moreover, this is very profitable financially and in the fact that it will be possible to order a sofa in accordance with the required dimensions.

Bright “acid” options are very aggressive, so they are rarely used when furnishing residential premises. A “poisonous” compact sofa can be placed in the kitchen or hallway. Neutral design and harmonious lighting will help minimize color negativity.

Green upholstery does not look the same in different fabrics. Materials with a fleecy surface (velvet, velor, flock) optically look more subdued than bright glossy types. The shine of leather or satin furniture adds a luxurious touch to the design. Rough natural texture (linen, burlap, cotton) creates a cozy atmosphere.

The most popular are three-seat corner models, suitable for both spacious and small spaces. Such products can be equipped with a built-in table, shelves, or even combined with a drink bar. In addition, classic straight-shaped sofas with armrests and a backrest of medium height are no less relevant; they will suit any interior design, or small sofas, which are an indispensable option for a small room.

How to arrange an emerald kitchen?
Green is considered one of the best colors for kitchen interiors - its vitality improves appetite, adds energy and readiness to act. Emerald tiles above the sink and stove are quite a popular element of modern furnishings.
Let's take it a step further and introduce emerald green cabinets in the kitchen - they will give the interior a stylish retro look. Keep the rest of the composition white for a light, clean effect. Emerald cabinets will look great when paired with gold and brass elements such as taps, elegant pots, lamps and furniture pieces.
What you need to know when choosing shades
Designers advise paying attention to the following nuances:
- If the kitchen windows face north, it is recommended to combine warm shades. For green it is: olive, khaki, asparagus, forest. For light: milky, antique, ivory, linen, smoky.
Warm colors
- For the south side, cool shades are suitable, capable of reflecting light and softening due to the sun's rays. For green it is: malachite, jade, green pine, mint. Light: snow-white, pearlescent.
Cold option
- If snow-white was chosen as an accent in combination with light green, an overly bright effect may result when light hits. To reduce the reflectivity of colored surfaces, it is recommended to use curtains or blinds on windows during the day. This way the shades will become more moderate and will not strain your eyesight.
Curtains for a bright kitchen
- Bright light green and lime tones should be used sparingly; if there are too many of them, the kitchen will look tasteless. The richer the green used, the more white should be included in the design.
Scandi
This style is characterized by coldness, characteristic of the climate of the Scandinavian countries. Thus, a light green kitchen will be an ideal option for this style, because cold and pale shades are welcome here, like fresh moss covered with snow - a typical Scandinavian landscape.
