Make a Green Sofa the Main Attraction
In this living room, the dark green sofa is the most imposing item in the space. The dark green color anchors the room, and a few plants complement its deep earthy tone. Black accents on the light fixtures and small furniture work together in synergy, allowing the sofa to remain the main attraction in the space.
Even though this green couch is placed against the wall, it’s still the area where visitors will want to gravitate toward. A soft throw blanket and a large accent pillow in lighter colors add a warm, inviting element that begs people to sit down and relax.

Use Deep Green for Modern Interiors
Note how the rich, deep green shade of upholstery on this living room sofa enhances the modern look of the space. A white tiled coffee table, white upholstered accent chair, and white winding staircase match perfectly while the wall color adds another layer of interest. Although this living room has a more minimalist style, it still lets the dark green sofa do most of the talking.
The large area rug features a simple pattern and a classic gray color so it serves its purpose without overtaking the room. While many living rooms seem to be a place to watch TV, this particular room invites you to curl up on the sofa and take a nice nap or read a good book.

Choose Green Couches with Comfort in Mind

This house also features layered lighting with a window, table lamp, and pendant light for balance and versatility. An oversized shag rug adds a soft layer to the floor, and the light color palette allows the sofa and decor to remain the stars of the show.

Simple decorative elements are added to this space including wall art, potted plants, and a pair of matching candlesticks. Touches of black are found throughout the room, helping to make the sofa visually “pop.”

A Couch with Lots of Cushions Softens a Space
The green color of this couch is extremely stunning, and it features a plethora of thick cushions on the back and seat. The couch is flush to the floor rather than resting on legs to give it a more laid-back look.
In this living room, the green couch is placed against the large windows that run against the wall. A large woven coffee table covered in books sits in front of the couch, while a small desk and chair are nestled into the corner to give the room more functionality.

A trio of modern pendant lights hang overhead, while one modern accent chair in a soft boucle fabric rests nearby. The large tree arches gently near one end of the couch to give this living room a nature-inspired touch.
