We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Life is too short for gray sofas . Sure, people say gray sofas and the like are versatile and always in style, but if they’re not your style, then at what cost? Investing in a colorful sofa gives your space a dose of personality; it tells the world that you aren’t afraid of risks. And even if you’re a minimalist, I can guarantee that there’s a colorful sofa out there for you. After all, light blue and blush pink are basically neutrals (right?). Choosing a colorful sofa doesn’t have to be scary, and to prove that I’ve gone ahead and researched options across the entire color spectrum. Check them out below, and get ready to transform your home into an entirely non-boring space.
After years of flirting with the color, I'm ready to say that I am committed to pink. The color has a long and surprising history , and it's safe to say that pink has distinguished itself as a fun, yet still neutral, decor option. This sweet and simple velvet sofa from Joss & Main is a good option if you want to dabble in colorful furniture, thanks to its streamlined, mid-century modern design and included bolster pillows. Add white pillows or a throw to make it more minimal, or pair it with a colorful rug to really lean into the eclectic opportunities.
How gorgeous is this burnt orange sofa from West Elm? Featuring an exposed wood frame and three roomy seats, it's a standout option that perfectly combines both vintage and modern elements. In typical West Elm fashion, the sofa itself is available in a huge range of colors, but the Desert Sunset option is for you if you want to add some very cool, very colorful vibes to your living room. Even better? The basket slub weave is highly durable, meaning this sofa will stick around for many years.
Blue is probably the safest color you can choose when it comes to furniture—it's just as versatile as gray and brown, and will just as easily hide stains. Therefore, if you want a blue sofa that will stand out, you need to pair the color with an interesting silhouette or material. Enter this sapphire sofa from AllModern, which has a sophisticated Chesterfield shape and totally glam velvet upholstery. It's beautiful, dramatic, regal, and an all-around showstopper. And the best part is that it's also available in emerald green, blush pink, and light blue—not a gray hue in sight.
Just because your sofa is big on color and style doesn't mean it has to be uncomfortable. This forest green option from Kardiel looks like it belongs in a ~fancy~ home, but it's actually upholstered in a durable, stain-resistant polyester material that's kid- and pet-friendly. It's also seriously cozy, with six pillows for two seats—honestly, it looks like an upgraded and somehow stylish pillow fort. It also comes in Spice Velvet, a warm orange tone that I also highly recommend, although it won't be back in stock until September.
If you're going for a statement, you can't do much better than a bright red sofa—especially one that's this cool. The Milo sofa from designer Marie Burgos comes in a wide range of fabrics, but this red velvet option takes the cake for most eye-catching. Couple it with that curved shape and handcrafted wood frame and you've got a one-of-a-kind piece that you'll love forever. This luxury piece is made to order, so delivery time is about 4-6 weeks, and it's on the very high end when it comes to price.
Another basically neutral option, this light blue find from Walmart is both versatile and budget-friendly, making it a great option for first-time colorful sofa buyers. It has a nice mid-century modern style, from the wood base, angled legs, and pintucked cushioning, and it comes in seven other colors, including yellow, red, and teal.
Purple is my favorite color, so I might be biased, but I think this velvet sofa from Overstock might be the best of the bunch. Everything from the sloped arms and channel stitching to the deep purple color and velvet upholstery is attention-grabbing, but in the best way possible. It's a perfect refined choice for a moody, dramatic living room—although it'll look just as fun in a light, bright space that needs some grounding. Plus, it comes with two matching accent pillows! All in all, a solid choice.
Yellow is totally underrated when it comes to decor. Love the look of light and airy bedding but hate white? Pop on a yellow duvet cover. Have a dark living room that feels gloomy at all hours? Add a yellow sofa. This option from Apt2B is cozy and inviting, thanks to the gold color and extra side padding. The dark pecan wood base gives it a more traditional feel, while the fun color is perfect for creating a laidback, welcoming atmosphere.
