Sofas do not just give rooms a feeling of comfort and coziness. When choosing a product, pay attention to the product control mechanism, its shape, color and upholstery quality. Since a correctly selected model is able to change the room beyond recognition.
Types of sofa transformation
When buying a sofa, almost all buyers choose models that can be easily converted to a berth. Sometimes this desire is caused by a vital necessity - in small apartments sofas are used as the main berth. Owners of spacious dwellings simply want to have an extra bed to sleep in order to arrange a comfortable night for their beloved guests.
When choosing a design, it is important to determine the following points:
- How often will a model turn into a sofa bed? Since not all mechanisms are able to withstand daily operation;
- What to prefer: a large sleeping area or free movement? Since in small rooms the disassembled sofa can occupy almost the entire free area;
- How necessary is the built-in box;
- The style and colors of the design, the desire of the owner of the apartment to make the sofa the main element of the situation or only part of the furniture ensemble;
There are three types of product transformation: folding (couch, click-gag), roll-out / sliding (eurobook, dolphin), unfolding (accordion, folding bed).
If it is assumed that the furniture will play the role of a permanent berth, then the most suitable type is roll-out. Sofa eurobook is a very popular model. To unfold the product, the seat is pulled forward and the back is lowered to an empty seat. Advantages of the model: ease of use, flat surface of the berth, the presence of a built-in drawer, the ability to install furniture close to the wall.
Optimum sofa shape
Today, manufacturers offer products for every taste - straight, angular, with round / oval / curving lines. Classical are: a sofa angular and direct. It is impossible to determine exactly which shape is better. Since the furniture is selected based on the area of the room, the design of the room and the wishes of the buyer.
Direct sofas
The popularity of this model is due to the predominance of small-sized apartments. The optimal arrangement of furniture in such rooms is against the wall. The product is only a place of rest or sleep.
However, the advent of studio apartments added features to furniture and increased options for their arrangement. Products placed in the center (or to the side of the middle) of the room began to zone the room.
Two straight models can be positioned in an angle, indicating a rest area. In this case, the design of the products should be the same, and the color of the upholstery may vary. The blue sofa will go well with models of gray, green, brown shades.
Products located opposite each other will also create a cozy sitting area in the living room.Moreover, in this case, you can install objects that are different both in color and in shape, but one cannot help but notice that the same furniture gives the environment a more complete look and requires less additional accessories.
Corner sofas in blue
Angular-shaped models take up more space, so in small apartments they are inappropriate - they overload the space. It is advisable with such models to decorate the decor of spacious rooms or medium-sized rooms.
Blue corner sofas have a lot of advantages:
- the shape of the product allows the use of "dead" zones - the corners of the room. Thanks to this, the center is freed, and the room as a whole looks more spacious;
- products can create a harmonious atmosphere in a children's room, living room, study, kitchen;
- if necessary, a comfortable sleeping place is formed for guests;
- functionality. In addition to creating comfortable places for rest and sleep, furniture can have built-in drawers for storing things, adjustable armrests and head restraints;
- the possibility of zoning space.
Nuances of combinations of blue with other shades
You can not call the blue palette in demand in the design of interiors. This is explained by the "coldness" of color. Although it is impossible to deny the pacifying effect of heavenly shades. Upholstered furniture in blue harmoniously looks in any room. It is simply important to choose the right upholstery tone and its combination with other shades of room design.
Classic combinations: blue and white
These two shades complement each other perfectly. This choice of colors solves several problems in the interior.
- With the help of white, it is possible to visually expand the space of the room. Moreover, it is desirable to use white shades for finishing the ceiling and walls of the room, and the palette of blue will look perfect in the upholstery of upholstered furniture and in the textile design of window openings. Although it is quite likely that other options for using these shades.
- Blue color gives the room a sense of freshness and novelty. This is of great importance in small rooms.
Blue and white range plays a major role in the embodiment of marine motifs in the design of the room. A blue leather sofa will elegantly decorate a spacious and bright living room, while the sea mood will be supported by striped curtains and pillows with images of starfish or shells.
In this combination of shades, you should not focus on the flooring. Since the dark-colored floor will make the situation worse (it will create a depressing impression), and the red shades will give some “rigidity”. Among designers, there was an opinion that it would be appropriate to choose some neutral tones for the floor - honey-golden or bleached oak.
Blue and Green: Close Shades
These tones can not be called contrasting, they both belong to the cold gamut. The interior of the living room, designed in these colors, expresses calm and tranquility.
In the kitchens, compact blue corner sofas will look cozy in combination with blue dishes, textile window decorations. Bright curtains with blue ornaments give the kitchen an elegant look. It is believed that the blue-green palette reduces appetite and reduce the desire to eat sweets.
We can say that green shades in textiles (curtains, pillows, bedspreads) and in decorative elements (lamp shades, paintings) remind of nature, so blue-green interiors, with the addition of slight yellow touches (textile pattern, souvenirs), look easy and naturally.
Red and blue: the complexity of the combination
Use these shades in the interior of the living room must be very careful, because they produce the exact opposite impression. Red is a bright and hot color that visually reduces the room, and blue, on the contrary, adds calm, cold to the room and visually expands the space.
You can slightly smooth out the contradiction between bright and saturated colors by adding white.Moreover, if the room has a red sofa and blue, then the presence of white in the interior should be predominant.
There is another way to smooth out the strong contrast of colors. So that the color scheme does not cause a feeling of struggle, it is desirable to make one shade the main, and the other - additional. If the room has a large sofa in blue, then red shades should be present in small quantities. As an option - a compact red sofa, vases or pillows with a red pattern.
There are about sixteen shades of blue. Saturated dark tones create an impression of solidity, and pale, blurry blue - a feeling of freshness, free space.
The blue color refers to the cold palette and visually creates a cool atmosphere in the rooms, so the blue leather sofa looks appropriate in the interior of the rooms located on the east or south sides of the building. The northern rooms and small shaded rooms should be carefully furnished with blue furniture.
Blue sofa in the interior: recommendations for choosing a shade and style
Using just different shades of the palette, you can create a harmonious image of the room. With the help of bright, saturated colors (azure, cornflower blue), a creative design in high-tech or minimalism styles is obtained. In this case, the rich shade of the upholstery will stand out against the background of the neutral rest of the setting (pale gray). In a spacious room, a blue corner sofa will look appropriate.
If in the interior of the room the main palette is bright and active, then it is advisable to choose furniture with a pale blue upholstery. This combination will look great in rooms designed in the styles of Provence, country.
Blue furniture goes well with similar shades, as well as with contrasting ones. If the accents are correctly set, then the blue sofa will bring comfort and freshness to any design.
