Blast From The Past!
History seems to always be repeating itself.  During this years fashion week, we are seeing a lot of familiar trends; trends from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.  Not only do we see history repeating itself through fashion, but we also see it being repeated in design.  Rewinding back to over a hundred years, we see classic revivals in architecture and design;Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, Rococo  Revival, just to name a few.  When designing your space, hit the books and get inspiration from the past, cause it’ll probably make its second debut in no time.

Decisions, Decisions
With all the different options that The Sofa Company offers, it’s sometimes overwhelming and difficult to narrow down that one special style.  My biggest recommendation is to pay attention to the arm styles.

1.    What type of look are you going for?
a.    If you're looking for a traditional style you might want to look for styles with a rolled arm like the Jean, Victoria,  or Bentley.
b.    If you're looking for a contemporary style, you might want to look for styles with a square arm like the Gia, Horizon, or Charles.
2.    How do you sit on your sofa?
a.    Do you like to lean against the arm using it as a back?
•    You might want to look for a style with a high arm that you can use as a back. Styles like the Chloe, Trevor, Tribecca, or Colby to name a few.
b.    Do you lay across your sofa using the arm as a head rest?
•    You might want to look for a style with a low arm rest so that you are able to use the arm as a pillow; styles like the Jenny, Oscar, or Teri.
c.    Do you sit on your sofa with your feet up?
•    You might want to look for a style with a deep seat depth so you have room to position yourself however you’d like.  
3.    Is space a concern?
a.    If you looking to furnish a small space, look for styles with a smaller arm width so you are able to maximize your seating space without the arm taking up 50% of the room.  
4.    Pet peeves?
a.    Do loose pillows bother you?  are you looking to minimize any type of clutter?  Look at all the different tight-back styles we offer where the pillows are  already upholstered into the frame.  No more straightening or fluffing pillows……ever.

ME:
1.    I like the look of a contemporary style sofa (square arm)
2.    I sit on my sofa with my legs up (Indian style) or I lay across the sofa using the armrest as a pillow (low and deep)
3.    My space is large enough to fit a decent sized sofa.
4.    I love being hugged by mounds of pillows, the more the merrier.
= GIA.  The Gia has nice square, low arms, deep seat, and with scatter back pillows I am able to snuggle up when reading a book or watching TV.

Mid-Century Classics!

I don’t know about you, but I am a huge sucker for classic modern designs. These classics employ simplicity and lightness in form. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe once said, "An interesting plainness is the most difficult and precious thing to achieve". The Sofa Company now carries tons of mid-century modern influenced pieces.

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue! HELP!!

Can’t decide your color scheme for your space or sofa? Not sure what color truly defines you? Stress no more! Here are 3 simple ways to help you decide the right color for you.

Mood: Are you looking to come home to a relaxing, calm and quiet space after a busy day at work? Or are you trying to add some loud excitement in your life? Here are a couple pointers

 Photobucket The color red is an emotionally intense color; it stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. If you’re looking to create a focal point, the color red might is a great option.

 Photobucket Yellow is cheerful and an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms (and babies might cry a little more than usual in a yellow room). It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism.

 Photobucket Green is probably one of the most popular decorative colors. Green symbolizes nature and is easiest on the eyes. Green is a very calm, relaxing and refreshing color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients.

Photobucket Blue causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. People are more productive in blue rooms.

 Photobucket Brown is the color of dirt, giving it an earthy, environmental quality which is popularly coupled with green. Shades of brown represent skin tones and produce a comforting feeling.

Clothing: Flip through a magazine or go through your closet and pick out your favorite outfit. Let these outfits be your inspiration and work with those colors!

!?!? Just down right have no idea? Look through our large fabric library, find a pattern that catches your eye and let that be your inspiration!

Live a little.

Afraid to go big by reupholstering your sofa in a big print or color? Here are a couple ways to stay safe but still give your space some character and life.

  1. Add a fun accent ottoman! Pick a neutral or a solid color for the larger pieces (sofa or loveseat), then jazz it up with an ottoman upholstered in a fun pattern or texture. It’s also a way to bring in all the accent color in the room together. The Sofa Company can customize any size ottoman with any fabric.

  2. Add some accent pillows! Use the same fabric from the ottoman and make some matching pillows. This is a good way to tie in the ottoman to the rest of the upholstered furniture. The Sofa Company can make pillows in any shape and size!

 

3. Not looking to get an ottoman and your pillows aren’t cutting it? Add an accent chair! Get matching pillows to tie everything in; mixing and matching patterns are always fun! Don’t be afraid to go bold with your chairs! The Sofa Company can upholster an chair with any fabric or leather!

A Little Color and Creativity
Hey guys! My name is Jeannie and I’m new here at The Sofa Company at its new location in Pasadena. I have recently graduated from UC Riverside with a BA in Sociology and Administrative Studies. After graduating I realized that my life needed a little color and creativity. I've always had a passion for Interior Design and decided to finally pursue my dream. I am now attending Fullerton College majoring in Interior Design and very excited to work in the industry. I love the idea of being able to build a sofa that reflects your personality and I'm here to help you build that perfect sofa. With 50 styles and thousands of fabrics with which to play, the possibilities are endless! Let’s build something beautiful together!
