The blue sofa decided the room
Everything else in the living room had to agree with it.
Tove Hallberg
I bought a blue sofa without a plan. It arrived and the room went quiet. The beige rug looked tired. The yellow cushions looked loud.
So I started over. White walls, wooden floor left bare, one green plant. Everything else went to the cellar.
What I learned
One strong thing is enough. Two strong things argue. I used to think a room needed a theme. It needs one piece that knows what it is, and everything else should step aside.
