We are now about to start ordering our Sofas for the various living areas in our new build! Exciting times!! We have 2 boys under 3, and will be getting Leather Sofas. I was thinking that a rich dark brown sofa about the colour of a roasted coffee bean would be a good neutral choice. What are your thoughts? Edited to add: I forgot to include our colour scheme for the house: Flooring: Bamboo Strandwoven Coffee Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our walls Taubmans White Canvas (Warm white) Wood work and Doors : Taubmans Elusive White/ aka Crisp White Many thanks Michelle Re: Do you think a Brown Sofa is a good colour choice? 2Jul 30, 2010 10:42 pm Sounds great! Will be nice & easy to keep clean and I think it's a nice colour anyway for a lounge Building an Eden Brae Saville 27 http://karry327.blogspot.com/ Building thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44247 Re: Do you think a Brown Sofa is a good colour choice? 3Jul 30, 2010 10:48 pm we have 3 sofas and they're all brown. so yes I do! we also have a 4yo and a 2yo, they are going to get spills on them no matter what colour they are unless you're a couch nazi like my mum, but leather will be very easy to wipe off and will definitely hide the dirt better than a lighter colour.

Re: Do you think a Brown Sofa is a good colour choice? 4Jul 31, 2010 9:02 pm Thanks it is great to have some reassurance before outlaying money on another big ticket item... The year of the build is a very expensive year We will probably end up with a Plush Leather Sofabed for 2 of the rooms ...thinking about the Berlin... although I do like the Architect as well. Thanks for your advice, Michelle Re: Do you think a Brown Sofa is a good colour choice? 5Jul 31, 2010 9:07 pm Perfect colour choice for children and your color scheme. I'm so thankful of our cocoa leather lounges as it has had so much milk and spew on it from my 1 year old but cleans up beautifully. Building at Sierra Estate. Re: Do you think a Brown Sofa is a good colour choice? 6Aug 01, 2010 11:19 am My leather lounges are a rich deep terra cotta colour and they are great. they just need a wipe over every now and then. Too many of my friends have pale leather lounges which show dirt and discolouration. My lounges are over 10 years old and they are as new. Building in Bella Vista Waters Sydney. The Galaxy with Macquarie facade by Young Homes Re: Do you think a Brown Sofa is a good colour choice? 7Aug 01, 2010 6:59 pm I think 3 boys under 3 is more important than matching the colour to your floor. Brown will work fine for both needs.

Bon: I just love the longevity of leather. Great buy it is fantastic that two years down the track you are still happy with your Nick Scali lounges, I have just checked out their website.... Lovely styles. I could definitely do some damage in that store No. It's not original. Circa early to mid 90s would be my guess and maybe even as late as early 2000s 1 6636 9 24816 Thank you.
