Should a sofa be lighter or darker than the walls?
1 Answer
There is no rule regarding whether a sofa should be lighter or darker than the walls. Generally, creating contrast between the paint color and the sofa upholstery can add drama to a space, but it doesn’t matter whether the wall or the couch is the darker shade.
