With light-colored decoration, the interior will be airy and spacious. Pure white for wall decoration is not the best option, the furniture will blend in, it is better to choose pastel colors.

What color curtains to choose

Curtains can repeat the color or pattern of other interior items. For example, have a common pattern with the upholstery of the sofa or decorative pillows. A win-win option would be a transparent white veil, complemented by thick curtains.

The color of the curtains will create the mood in the house, the shade should be in harmony with the overall palette.

Bedspread or blanket

A bedspread will protect the surface of the sofa from wear and tear and decorate it, and a blanket will warm you in cold weather and give you coziness. The coloring can stand out from the overall picture or, on the contrary, blend in with the color scheme.

Cover

Not just a beautiful, but also a convenient accessory. The white color, although spectacular, is still easily soiled. A removable cover would be a good idea, it can be easily removed for cleaning or replaced with another, if you want to change the environment. The shade and pattern should be in harmony with the design concept of the room.

Carpet for the sofa

With the help of a carpet, you can add colors to the design of the room. In a classic hall, a carpet with a short pile and a beautiful pattern will look harmonious, for a modern interior you can use a carpet with a long pile. The color scheme can match the shade of the furniture or contrast with the general background.

Sofa with ottoman

A comfortable part of the sofa on which it is convenient to lie down without straightening the sofa. In addition, storage space is often “hidden” under the ottoman.

Sofa with table

A neat table is a simple, beautiful and functional addition. It is convenient to spend time with a book or a cup of tea. It can also accommodate a lamp, vases or an alarm clock.

Sofa with wooden armrests

Wooden armrests have a hard and flat surface, which allows you to place various objects on them. Any color of wood will look good with light upholstery.
