The Cream Colored Sectional | In or Out?

Make no mistake—cream colored furniture is on-trend. And it’s no wonder (and about time). After all, it’s a neutral color and a classic choice, and as many homeowners are beginning to remember, that results in a timeless look.

Not to mention, there are several benefits of choosing a cream sectional couch for your home. For example, choosing a cream sectional allows for unlimited creativity with wall color, flooring, and rug choices.

For example, a brown sofa with dark blue walls can feel heavy, but a cream colored sectional will brighten the room and create a sense of balance.

Tips on Using a Cream Sectional in Your Space

While a light colored sectional is an incredibly flexible option for your home, there are a few best practices you can follow to make your room feel welcoming and balanced. Here are a few top tips for adding a cream colored sectional to your living room.  

Measure your room: Measure your living room is rule #1 no matter what color sofa you ultimately decide on. It’s helpful to download or print a room layout planner to better visualize how a sectional fits in a space according to its dimensions and layout.

Identify your ideal layout: Sectionals are available in a variety of shapes and layouts(U-shaped, L-shaped, modular). After measuring your living room, use a planner to decide which layout is the best compatible with the space.  

Leave room for reclining and walking: If you are interested in a reclining sectional, be sure to keep space between the sofa and the wall to lean back. Additionally, aim for about 12 to 18 inches of walking space for proper room flow.

What Color Goes with Cream Furniture?

The good news is that cream goes with a wide variety of colors. In particular, it pairs beauituflly with oranges and reds just as well as blues, greens, and violets. However, resist the urge to pair cream with too many other neutral elements. While it may feel cohesive, the lack of color balance or visual interest can leave a space feeling flat, cold, and even boring.

Is a Cream Sectional OK for All Designs?

Let your imagination run wild as you explore cream sectional living room ideas. The color is flexible and is often used to embrace a wide variety of styles, from modern farmhouse to minimalist. Here are a few popular styles and how cream furniture accentuates them. 

Modern Living Room Design: Cream furniture comes in modern styles and remains classic as trends change. Let your sectional be a base that supports the rest of modern expressions in the living room, from bold, black statements to pops of color like blue, orange, red, or green.

Traditional Living Room Design:Cream has been used in furniture design for decades—and will remain popular for years to come. Using a cream sectional in a traditional-style living room is just about as easy as it gets. As long as the essential elements are there (wood furniture, tones of brown, intricate details), almost any sectional will match the vibe.

Transitional Living Room Design: This style balances traditional materials and colors with modern elements. A cream sectional is a great way to serve as either the modern or traditional element in the room.

Farmhouse Living Room Design: This design uses natural colors and calming shades, so a cream sectional is a shoe-in. To really drive the “lived-in” feel, opt for an oversized build with plush armrests and billowy seat backs.

Minimalist Living Room Design: Not every room needs to create dramatic statements. Discover simple but fashionable cream furniture that helps you design your room. Consider investing in a leather sofa sectional for a sleek look that is also low-maintenance.
