Jen and I have been corresponding with Charley about adding more seating space to his living room.

Charley currently has a sage green couch and is interested in adding a Home Reserve loveseat and Chair, in the Laney style. He tells Jen and I he’s having trouble matching the dark sage tone of his particular couch. This inspired the recurring discussion between Jen, Charley, and I about “matching sets” of furniture. Jen says that 3 pieces of the same color and pattern can look unimaginative, and that the inability to match a color is an opportunity for something more fun. Her advice to Charley, “Your living room will look more sophisticated by using multiple shades of one color, complimentary colors, or coordinating solid colors and patterns.”

Charley likes browns and greens, so he was pleased with the combination of Dark nuetral, light neutral, green and accenting patterns that Jen and I put together.

Compare this predictable room of all green → to this interesting collection of lights, darks, and patterns.

The fabrics used in this example are Charley’s Sage, plus . . .
