When designing a room, there is a lot of factors to consider like the following:
 Room Designs 1. What is the Colour of  the Walls? Walls play a vital role when it comes to picking the right colour of your sofa set/livingroom furniture. If your wall is a light colour, go for dark furniture and vice versa. If for some reason you can't avoid picking on the same colour of furniture that match your carpet, throw in some canvas paintings to your wall to highlight some colour and have contrast. Room Wall Design 2. Is the flooring Hardwood, Vinyl or Carpet? Flooring plays a big factor when you're deciding to buy a sofa set. If you have dark carpet, hardwood, vinyl, it will be best to choose a sofa set that is of a light colour regardless if it's fabric, leather or a micro-suede material. If for some reason you have dark colour flooring and you can't avoid choosing a dark colour sofa set, make sure you throw in a light colour carpet in between just to make an accent and balance the contrast in the room. This type of idea is also applicable even if you have carpeted flooring. Flooring Hardwood Design
