Lounging in the comfort of your home while catching up with family or friends is one of the easiest yet truly enjoyable things you can do after a long day. If you are living solo, Netflix and chill or video games is probably your thing. And all these happen in the anchor of every home– the living room.
This shared space is often what most homeowners and interior designers spend most time and budget on. The furniture, fixtures, small pieces, and accents in the living area usually dictate the overall theme of your home. The couch, which is the focal point in any living room, should be given much attention so it is important to consider the style, comfort, and durability when selecting one.
One of the top picks and hottest trends at the moment is the blue sofa as there’s just so many ways to make this a design piece in your living room. It is a timeless color that generally gives off that cool and relaxing vibe no matter the shade. Blue usually reminds us of both the clear sky and the pristine waters. It is associated with tranquility, openness, and freedom. It has that calming effect on the mind and body. It is a great choice as it flows well into different seasons. It is mellow and can be easily matched with different colors and shades. We have handpicked some inspirations to style your blue sofa and make it stand out.

This clutter-free, bright and well-lit space with the warm blue sofa in the center is very welcoming in both summer and winter.

It is quite rare to see a space this bright, bold, and colorful as most will always go with neutrals, earth tones or the safe colors. Interestingly, the blue, comfy couch accentuated with almost all the bright patterns and colors such as red, orange, and yellow came out pretty rad and still well put together. It may not be for everyone but the certified cool ones will wing this.

The monochromatic scheme of this living area will instantly give you that beach vibe. There’s undeniably a sense of tranquility found in this space, like you are transported to the pristine waters of the Carribean.

The shelf in natural wood finish adds to the vintage yet homey feel of this living space. It makes a perfect spot for enjoying your coffee while reading a good book or having good conversations with your loved ones.
- Pretty Art Pieces
While blue is a gender-neutral color, it is still known to be a masculine color in most cases. To strike a balance and make your space suitable for his and hers, you can add pretty artworks and accent pieces which evoke femininity, such as the framed, beautiful paintings and chic lavender ottoman in this living room.
- Blue Oversized Artwork
In this living room, the spotlight is on the oversized blue artwork. It gives that oomph to the lowkey, light blue couch. While there is an explosion of colors, patterns and textures in here, everything still looks harmonious and definitely a sight to behold.
