The Evolution of Couch Colors:
Rebecca explains that, traditionally, neutral tones like beiges, browns, and grays have dominated the furniture industry. These colors were preferred for their versatility and timeless appeal. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable shift towards bolder, brighter colors. Despite this trend, Rebecca emphasizes that bold colors aren't always the best choice for every home.

Rebecca's Color Strategies:
Rebecca reveals that she typically gravitates towards a neutral base palette, which allows for greater flexibility in decorating. She suggests adding pops of color through pillows, accent chairs, and area rugs. This approach not only makes it easier to coordinate with other elements in the room but also allows for quick updates and changes without the need for a new couch.

Balancing Style and Practicality:
A common concern among homeowners, especially those with children and pets, is maintaining the appearance of lighter-colored couches. Rebecca addresses this by recommending darker, more durable fabrics for high-traffic areas. She mentions a current project where a deep navy sectional serves as a practical yet stylish solution, blending the appeal of a neutral tone with the benefits of a darker color.

Current Trends and Future Predictions:
Rebecca notes that current interior design trends are leaning towards darker, moodier colors. These colors can add depth and sophistication to a room while still allowing for neutral accents. While bright, colorful couches are not her usual choice, Rebecca acknowledges that design preferences can evolve, and the future may see more vibrant colors making a comeback.
