Citrus Twist
British weather can be unpredictable at the best of times, so why not introduce a permanent splash of sunshine into your lounge with vibrant, citrus tones.
Shades of lemon, orange and grapefruit might seem like a daring choice for a sofa, but sometimes you need to ditch the neutrals and embrace the bold. Overwhelmingly joyous and optimistic, these fruity hues are the perfect antidote to grey days.

If your lounge is already neutral then a yellow or orange sofa will just slot in perfectly. However, if you want to go colour-crazy, why not add a complementary hue in the form of paint or wallpaper. Choose green or blue to keep the look fresh, or go deliciously decadent with dark berry tones.
