A new year is the perfect excuse to spruce up our homes and experiment with new pieces, and for 2025, we are thinking of ways to incorporate color into our spaces.
While some of us naturally gravitate towards neutrals, dopamine decor, and primary colors continue to be on trend. As such, we are taking cues from the always classy and sleek Victoria Beckham, who has managed to infuse a bold dose of color into her dressing room via a colorful sofa.
In a post shared to the designer and former Spice Girl's Instagram page, we can see a lime green couch making a subtle statement in the otherwise neutral space. It serves as a complementary piece against the reclaimed wood floors, navy blue rug, and crystal chandelier, adding just the right amount of vibrancy to the space. It turns out this color is right on trend for the coming year, in case you need further convincing.
While introducing a brightly colored sofa to a room is a statement, experts say that color infusions can be implemented in small doses for those who are used to neutrals.
'Experimenting with a bold color can feel like a daunting task, especially if it’s in a main room in your home and you haven’t played with color before,' says interiors expert Jade Crooks. 'You could start small, with colorful cushions or an eye-catching rug. However, to make a real statement, select a focal piece of furniture – like a sofa or an ornate armchair – and go all out.'
She continues, 'If you’re unsure where to begin, think with your heart rather than your décor. Bright colors are often more energizing than neutrals, bringing strong associations with them. Yellow, for example, adds a refreshing burst of energy to any room.'
Green is a particularly versatile color choice, fitting well into popular interior schemes such as Japandi and organic modern design trends.
'The color green is most commonly associated with nature, offering a sanctuary from everyday life stressors,' Crooks says. 'Like spending time in your garden on a sunny evening after a long day, sinking into a green sofa at the end of the day can bring about a sense of calm.'
Beckham's dressing room is certainly calming, with the wood floors adding a natural feel to the room.
'Pairing your green sofa with browns and textured neutrals can help to build upon those feelings of nature,' she states. 'To go one step further, try incorporating potted plants in your space.' Alternatively, you could pair it with a chandelier for the ultimate Victoria-Beckham-inspired look.
