Fancy up a boring sofa...

We have just been to market in Las Vegas, while we were there we were looking for sofa's. So since all you probably have a couple of sofa's in your cute houses were are going to share a few thoughts with you on choosing a sofa; what you might look for, at least color and pattern wise. Layering and neutral will be our focus.

Pick a neutral sofa in grays or cream's or whatever you room is telling you to use. in our case we have a cream sofa with a little brown ticking to work with. So watch the same sofa change with every pillow and accessory.

Handsome cream sofa with nailheads, dark rug and
HOLY COW add an ottoman with animal print.

Add some black,cream and brown pillows. Great look! Inexpensive pillows with some higher end ones.

Let's do some fun!

Red this time

Same sofa

Change the picture

Add lamp and rugs

Try Layering rugs

Red shaggy rug underneath the plaid one, Holy Cow pillows

Same sofa different look!

Then add a gold and black sofa table.
This one would have worked with the first picture with the Holy Cow Ottoman too!

Let's do it once more, different picture, different ottoman and you can see the new rug a little bit in the corner of the picture!

Different pillows and again a whole new look!

All from the same cream sofa, yeah!

This time lets take a brown ticking (tiny stripe sofa) comfy cozy, but not that exciting.

Lets try red and brown. Most of these pillows are euro shams from bedding ensembles.

So when the husband takes a nap on it after he's been at the gym (sweaty, eww), or the cat curls up on it, YEP, you guessed it... You can throw these suckers in the wash and they're all clean and smellin good again.

Spray a little linen water and your sofa just became heaven, again.

Now you can take a little nap.
