How to match the color of the sofa cover and pillows on the sofa
When it comes to what is the most comfortable way at home, lying down is not the best choice. Lying on a soft sofa is the most comfortable. But as for the appearance of the sofa at home, I just ask you, is it really good-looking?
If you want a good-looking sofa, you need to put some effort into the soft furnishings of the sofa. Let me teach you how to match the color of the sofa cover and pillows (not involving patterns and materials) to make the sofa beautiful.
However, this article mainly focuses on fabric sofas, because leather sofas generally do not use sofa covers, just like if you wear a famous brand, you will never wear a street-market jacket~
Primary matching method—matching the same color
Matching the same color is the simplest method and the least error-prone, which is to change the brightness and purity within a hue.
For example, in the green system, there are light green, grass green, dark green, olive green, etc. The brighter one is light green, and the darker one is dark green.
The matching of the same color system gives a sense of unity. Red, yellow, blue and other colors have their own homologous colors.

Intermediate matching method—adjacent color matching
Similar colors refer to three adjacent hues with an angle of 60° on the color wheel, and they match harmoniously. Such as red-orange-yellow, blue-blue violet-violet, etc.
The matching of similar colors without strong contrast makes people feel calm and comfortable, and can create rich textures and layers. It is also a commonly used color matching method in home color matching.
1 Candy combination
Candy colors are generally bright colors and look good when paired with them. However, if they are directly used as sofa soft furnishings, it will make it difficult to match other soft furnishings.
At this time, there will be no problem if you reduce the brightness appropriately.

The less saturated bean paste red and ginger collide together, and the Nordic style also has colorful colors.

Advanced matching method—complementary color matching
Complementary colors are two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel and create a strong contrast. Such as red-green, yellow-purple, etc.
When matching complementary colors, we should pay attention to the primary and secondary relationship between the two hues. The main color has high brightness, and the secondary hue must have low brightness. The main color has a large area, and the secondary color has a small area.
1 Denim combination
Blue and orange are strongly contrasting colors. You cannot use true blue and true orange to collide, which is prone to problems.
