Can a black couch and espresso ottoman be used in the same room?




Question by Mrs. W: Can a black couch and espresso ottoman be used in the same room?
Looking at new furniture for the living room. The couch I want is black leather (the light brown option is hideous). However the storage ottoman and matching stool set only comes in espresso. Customer reviews say the ottoman set is so dark brown it is almost brown.

Would the black and espresso clash? Or blend nicely?
We do already have both black and espresso pieces in the room, and it seems to flow together well enough. Our accent color for the room is bright red. Going for a contemporary/modern look.

How about you get throw cushions the same colour as the ottoman and put them on the black couch to make a contrast? A fabric match might be easier to find.

    Clash. Black and brown don’t tend to go together well, and it’s even worse that the espresso is really dark. The fact that they are close in colour but not exactly the same will make it seem like they are mismatched.

    You are better off choosing a different ottoman completely in a complimentary colour, maybe to match the accent cusions. I was just looking at ottomans today here: http://www.vcf.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchView?storeId=10001&catalogId=10153&langId=-1&N=0&Ntk=si_all&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchall&Ntt=ottoman&x=0&y=0 they also sell them at home decorators and overstock.com

    It depends on what other colors you have in the room, and what “style” you’re going for. They CAN work together because really they are both neutral colors, but you’d need to have something to tie the 2 colors together. Like an area rug with both colors in the pattern, or throw pillows, or even another piece of furniture that’s upholstered in a print of some kind with both colors in it.

    Danny Williams and Kevin McBride beating Mike Tyson comes to mind first. Also Kirland Lang who a bad fighter beating Duran in a great upset. The very inexperienced Leon Spinks (no tomato can beating Ali after only 7 fights for the title was totally unexpected.

    The name is Vicki Grant. In my sources I listed one place where you can read a little bit about her, and it is a page on her actual website. She is also a writer (for books and a couple of others).

    I had no idea The Big Comfy Couch was off air! That was one of my favorite tv shows when I was little. Good luck! :)

    It means that sites like Wikipedea, Youtube and Google be able to themselves because they be getting enough revenue from small market sites because companies can delete sites that "steal" music, movies, etc.

    Dating is when your just getting to know the person, and not officially going out with them.. In a relationship is when you call them your boyfriend/girlfriend and its serious.

    That expression is "used to." "She used to do that."
