Home Decor: Need futon/sofa to match this couch. What color?

[MichaelD]

Hi all. I'm moving to a new apartment next weekend. The new living room is bigger than the one I have now. Want to add additional seating.

I want to buy either a Futon or a couch/loveseat (preferably a Futon) to match/go along with the couch I have now.

The couch has a Southewest type print to it.

What color should I get to match this? I was thinking Hunter Green. Any other suggestions.

ps
I like my couch.

Wow pretty defensive there... No one even said anything about the couch hehe... (My plans to comment on the couch are foiled ) I'm with you on the hunter green.

Transfer that Sofa to the dump and get a new piece that won't give blind people seizures.

Hunter green like you said.

you'll have to be careful matching that green.. but assuming the new apartment has about the same color carpet as the current one, I think that's the way I'd go too.. aiming to match the frame to the coffee table as near as you can.

"Give blind people seizures" Bahhahaha!! I LOL'd at that one.

It's a "love it or hate it" pattern. I really like it. It's a hard color scheme to match to b/c it's "busy." Hunter/"Dark" Green seems to be the best thing...

However, I forgot to take into account the color of the carpet in the new place, which I have no idea what it's going to be b/c they are putting in all new carpeting. The previous tenant had a dog and the dog ruined the carpet.

Pretty standard colors in this city are dark gray or like a dark beige/moccha type color.

Thanks for the ideas.

I'm off to Job#2; need to make money to buy this new piece of furniture.

I 'll check this thread late tonight when I get home.

Thanks again and have a nice day.

That's cool man, I think if you just get a piece that has the same base color as the sofa then you'll be fine.

Yeah, get something green, or possibly buy a futon in any color and just put a "southwestern" type patterned comforter or blanket over the futon.

Well hi there, and good morning. Having a second job sucks ASS. But, it enables me to live like someone that actually finished college. *takes smack at self)

Anyway, two good ideas there!!!! Get something the base color of the sofa, or get a futon in any color and throw a matching blanket over it. I happen to have a blanket that goes with the couch very well.

Any other ideas?
