Working Around Your Purple Chesterfield Sofa

You have just gone ahead and purchased your first Chesterfield sofa in deep purple velvet. It looks like a piece of royalty, with its high backs, oversized arms and buttoned fabric. However, after putting it in its special corner you realize that it clashes with the entire original color scheme of your living room. Now what?
If you are stuck in a similar dilemma then uktv.co.uk has the solution for you. In a step-by-step video titled “ Decorating Video: New Victorian Living Room”, the author attempts to give the audience a tutorial in how to make a room work with a striking centerpiece, in the form of a purple Chesterfield. The video gives clear instructions that cover all topics such as curtains, carpeting, and accessories, among others, making it very simple to form a color scheme and design strategy around a tricky focal point.

Making your purple Chesterfield couch work is not a hard task. You have to start off with a wall color similar to your couch but in a darker shade, so that your sofa stands out against it. Next step is set the floors in a dark brown color, so as to blend the flooring with the darkness of your walls and furniture. Curtains should be chosen in golden shade, as a form of contrast with your wall backdrop. Finally, finish your room off with mirror accessories and berry colored cushions.


Making a purple velvet stand out in a room is easier than it seems. All one needs are some guidelines on what kinds of colors to pick and what not to choose. This has all been made very simple by uktv.co.uk. The video is really helpful for those who want to make their room looking professionally decorated without all the hassle and money involved. I would definitely recommend viewing this video.
