4 color plaid couch

I live in a small apartment I have a 4 color plaid couch, that I don't how to decorate around. The colors are dark blue, tan, maroon, and dark green. The colors cross each other in a striped pattern. The floor is wood, a light tan woodgrain color. The walls are light beige with a white trim. There are arches leading from the front entrance to the living room, and again from the living room to the dining room. I do not have much money to work with, so I don't know where to start. Please help me with some ideas, if you can!

Hi @loneva5676! I love a plaid couch. Something about it feels very cozy and nostalgic to me. It would be really helpful if you uploaded photos of the couch and your space so we can see exactly what you're working with. Any chance you can add those to the thread? ❤️

I wouldn't claim to be any judge, but I think the plaid couch and accoutrements probably would save you the necessity of extravagant excesses in decor; perhaps you should concentrate on what you need, like, and want around you to relax in. With a plaid sofa, I wouldn't be able to resist acquiring a 'Scotch Chest' if there was room for it, that would extend the Scottish vibe, and would solve all your storage problems if you had any.

I think you have too many colors mixed up. I'd try to balance everything out with neutral, light hues.

Hi there,

I would love to see an image of the plaid sofa but think it sounds like the ideal base item from which to develop a beautiful Autumnal inspired decor scheme. The timber floor boards too will bring great warmth and by simply adding a cosy rug you’re a long way there.

We used caramels tones in our Den to create a similarly Autumnal scheme and by adding thrifted bits along the way with cohesive textures via throws, cushions and other bits and pieces, you can really grow the space around those plaid shades.

I would start by drawing a map of the rooms layout and floor plan whilst really think realistically about what you need and want the room to be used for. Is it a multi functional space or a cosy reading and tv room? Once you’ve thought about this and have a sense of how the room will function for you, the next steps are to think about Rita Konig’s philosophy that living spaces are really just about figuring out where tables, lamps and chairs should be positioned!
