Colors
The color of the cushion chair can be different, it should be selected according to the style of the entire room and the color scheme of the rest of the furniture. For a children's room, you can choose any bright shades:

In the nursery, the principle of separation of color by gender can be used, as well as the child's favorite shade can be taken into account. A bright and beautiful accessory will become a favorite place for a kid, an area for relaxation, games, reading, watching TV, so you should think about the color scheme in advance.
When choosing the color of the cover for the hall, it is worth taking into account the shade of the walls and furniture or the carpet, so that the new accessory has a binding to what is already in the room. For rooms where the sofa cushion will be used often, you should not choose light shades, as they will quickly lose their appearance.
For the bedroom, it is better to choose a soft color scheme:
- light pink;
- turquoise;
- mint;
- soft brown tint and the like.
The fabric can be either plain or have a print or pattern. Each room is individual, as are the tastes of people, so the color scheme must meet these criteria.
