Think outside the box with coloured Chesterfield sofas

When you hear the word Chesterfield sofa, what does that make you think of?

To be absolutely honest with you, before I had looked into this I would probably have made a disgusting face and thought about dark and dingy men’s rooms with dark furniture – all with a strong smell of cigars and whiskey. That may have been the typical room for a Chesterfield sofa back in the day, but the classic sofa has got a completely new fresh look and a facelift for the 21^st century.

First of all – who says a Chesterfield sofa has to be of brown leather? Sure, this material works with pretty much any style, and brown isn’t just brown… I mean, just look at all the different types of brown leather in the Old Boot sofa collection! But if you want to think outside the box and go for an alternative colour, why not opt for either a stylish and clean white or cream sofa…

…or perhaps be bold and pick one with a colour that stands out, such as blue?

A blue sofa, or a neutral sofa with blue decorations such as cushions and throws, gives your home a very stylish and almost royal look.

The reason that blue feels so upper-class and posh is because this is a colour that is considered “classic”, and that will always be in style regardless of the season or the year. So if you want to move away from the brown leather but still want a classic style, blue is definitely the colour to opt for.

If you feel like being a bit more daring and bold, but still not too extreme, a purple sofa can give your room a real facelift. Just as dark blue, purple is considered being a bit of a royal colour. However, if you don’t want to go quite this bold, you can opt for a sofa of a light lilac colour. This will be the perfect choice if you have a living room with a bit of an antique or shabby chic style with lots of dusky or off-white colours.

What do you think of Chesterfield sofas now? Hopefully this little article of mine will have opened your eyes a little, and made you look at these sofas in a different way. This just shows that you can be creative with pretty much anything, and that you shouldn’t have preconceptions about things.
