An important criterion when choosing a sofa is not only color, but also the upholstery material. For example, leather products are well suited for an office, models with textile upholstery will be appropriate in the living room. Velveteen looks great among the classic calm interiors. Advantages and disadvantages of each variety of upholstery are presented in the table.

Material pros Minuses
Cotton The fabric is breathable. Suitable for those who love natural solutions. Cotton on furniture is short-lived - it is difficult to maintain and wears out over time. If pets live at home, such upholstery will not be relevant.
Jacquard upholstery Thick fabric with a woven pattern. Twisted hinges do not open when accidentally tightened on furniture. The complexities of care and washing make jacquard not very popular.
Tapestry Natural printed fabric in a wide variety of patterns. Machine washable, easy to smoothen. It has a large weight, it is considered a tough material, so it does not always look beautiful in certain colors.
Folk Soft and pleasant to the touch fabric on which pollution is not visible. It withstands the load, is treated with water-repellent compounds, therefore it is practical for upholstery. Do not clean with alcohol-containing products. Viscose folk is very wrinkled.
Velveteen Such orange sofas look unusual, pleasant to the touch. The material is abrasion resistant, durable, does not crease. It is difficult to care for a velveteen; after cleaning, spots may remain on it.
A natural skin It is considered the most chic and prestigious material, the care of which is simple - just wipe the sofa with a damp cloth. High price.
Imitation leather The price is affordable, looks attractive, presented in a huge palette of colors. It can tear and burst at the edges.

To make the orange sofa practical, it is recommended to choose a material that is easy to care for. For example, genuine leather, although it has a high cost, but in orange it will look great. In addition, its cleaning will not cause difficulties. Natural fabric such as cotton is suitable for natural interiors, but it is worth remembering that such a material is short-lived.

Styles

Orange sofas are more used by modern design areas, they are relevant for children's and teenage rooms. You can buy such furniture for the bedroom, decorated in a minimalist style. A discreet shade of this color on the upholstery of the kitchen corner will look great.

The use of an orange sofa in the interior is always appropriate in such styles:

  1. Vanguard - dynamic orange will become one of the spectacular accents of the living room, where each piece of furniture is represented by its color interpretation.
  2. Pop art - bright motifs are inherent in this direction, so the sofa will have to be in place against the background of red pillows and colorful paintings.
  3. Loft - furniture is made of durable materials, it is a little rough and goes well with brick walls.
  4. Art Nouveau - succulent upholstery perfectly combines with openwork mahogany legs.
  5. Minimalism - orange sofas in this style stand out from other design elements of a calm and austere room.
  6. Classics - such furniture in this style is a rare "guest", because strictness and restraint do not accept bright colors, however, modern trends allow you to slightly dilute the atmosphere with saturated colors in combination with a dark tree.
  7. Provence - a soft tone of the sofa is used here, for example, peach, which will not allow the product to get out of the general style.
  8. Country - soft apricot-colored furniture will perfectly fit into the atmosphere of the kitchen or living room.

When choosing, do not forget about the form: rectangular furniture is suitable for a small room, a corner sofa will be relevant for a spacious living room or studio apartment, and the island version is optimal for placement in the center of the room.

A bright orange sofa will charge positively for the whole day, despite the style in which it is made. It is recommended to purchase furniture after the design of the room has been planned, because here you will have to take into account all the nuances of decoration and decor. In the living room interior, the sofa will look more harmonious if you lay out pillows of a contrasting color on it, and also add a few more orange touches to the room.

Popular combinations

Orange in itself is considered warm, so it can be easily combined with different shades. Such a sofa is easy to combine with a light tree, for example, sonoma oak. Metal also combines favorably with such upholstered furniture - such a tandem is suitable for a minimalist style.

The most suitable combinations with orange:

  • deep purple;
  • bright tones of green;
  • turquoise;
  • light pastel.

Juicy, rich shades complement the orange color, but such ideas are appropriate for a sunny and warm living room. For example, an office sofa will look pretentious if its upholstery is made of orange and purple fabric, but if you add blotches of white and blue, the business style will return.

The combination of "orange-white" is appropriate when combined with the third color - green, pink. 

A bright sofa can be slightly diluted with monochrome - lay out on it black and white pillows. If there is a large geometric pattern on the pillowcases, this will transform the furniture and make it original. Floral patterns on the pillows also combine perfectly with an orange sofa.

A great addition to such a bright element of the room will be a pair of white armchairs, as well as a coffee table with a glass surface. Sofas of this color are in demand in modern interiors - they saturate them with positive, refresh and warm, regardless of whether the furniture is given a “solo part”.
