Color features
You can talk about the versatility of the purple sofa in the living room interior for hours. Color has the greatest number of shades than any other - over 150 generally accepted in design. From delicate lavender to royal purple, from the light purple shade of the predawn sky to the deep night indigo, the purple furniture is multifaceted and varied, which allows you to play with interior styles.
The complex, contradictory, violet color is called by psychologists a shade of creativity, anxiety, explosive emotionality and power. It's all about mixing two opposites:
- red - a symbol of brightness, temperament;
- blue, giving peace, peace.
In interior design, shades of lilac are used both as a base and as a solo element creating a bright accent: it all depends on the tone, environment and idea. It is used in all styles, adds elements of novelty even to the classic.
Materials of manufacture
It is possible to enter a purple sofa with a complex color for any interior style by choosing the right shade of the product or using the texture of the upholstery. In addition to the jacquard, tapestry and velvet textile designs familiar to the classics, furniture with leather and suede cover is also in the position. It is appropriate in the style of pop art and eclecticism. Soft velveteen, flock or velor will add a twist to the Provence style design.
Of course, each of the materials has its advantages and disadvantages. All of them are characterized by various operational properties. Jacquard is strongly associated with most expensive furniture of the nineteenth century. It is distinguished by its special patterned weaving of threads, creating an exquisite pattern. Characteristic properties of the material:
- increased strength due to tight weaving of threads;
- wear resistance: the fabric is durable, almost not subject to abrasion;
- durability due to a special structure that does not allow the opening of threads;
- low specific gravity;
- wide temperature range of use;
- hypoallergenic - natural raw materials are used to produce high-quality jacquard;
- long keeps drawing, color.
However, along with the advantages, there are drawbacks that limit the range of applications, leaving behind a touch of exclusivity, chic and wealth. The main disadvantages:
- high cost - the production of the material is complex, multi-stage, has a large percentage of defects, because the slightest violation of the weaving structure leads to a distortion of the pattern;
- delicacy in care - the fabric does not tolerate the extraction, as well as the effects of washing powders.
The tapestry is distinguished by sophistication and durability. It has the same set of advantages as jacquard. Its disadvantage can be considered limited style solutions using the material as upholstery for upholstered furniture.
Textile upholstery for sofas made of flock or velor is popular. They are widespread due to a number of advantages:
- High strength characteristics, including tensile strength.
- Resistance to abrasion, rolling, mechanical wear.
- The moisture-repellent properties of the flock increase the practicality of the product from it.
- Uniform and steady coloring. Fabrics retain color for a long time, do not fade, and do not spoil the appearance of contacting surfaces.
- Practicality in leaving and cleaning. It is enough to remove pollution with a damp cloth or napkin.
- Resistance to temperature fluctuations.
Among the weaknesses of the flock cover of the sofa are the following:
- Accumulates static electricity, attracts dust, reducing the hygiene of the product.
- Upholstery of acetate and viscose types is significantly creased.
- Sensitivity to alcohol, which damages the structure of the fibers, so cleaning with care products based on it is impossible.
Cons of natural velor can be considered a high cost and some difficulties in care. During operation, certain rules must be observed. The material must not be cleaned with acetone products.
Purple sofas made of high-quality leather are an indicator of not only high status, but also the owner’s originality. The popularity of this material is also due to its excellent performance characteristics:
- Hygiene There are no accumulations of dust, dirt, germs on the skin. It is enough to wipe the surface with a napkin to get rid of dirt.
- Hygroscopicity. Such upholstery absorbs and gives away moisture, and also does not interfere with air circulation, maintaining a positive microclimate inside the product.
- Durability. Leather dressing with new technologies provides excellent wear-resistant qualities.
- Practicality. The easiest care option is a leather sofa. With it you can forget about the time-consuming washing of covers.
- Does not attract pet attention. Perhaps, due to the specific smell, the material produces a repulsive effect, and therefore the claws and teeth of pets are not afraid of leather furniture.
Among the imperfections of the skin as an upholstery material, they are most often called:
- Cost. Not everyone can afford such a sofa in the interior of the living room and other rooms, which is associated with the origin of the material, difficulties in production, and dressing.
- Sensitivity to heat. It has the ability to dry, crack, lose elasticity. As a result, loses an attractive appearance.
- Exposure to ultraviolet light causes fading, drying, then cracking of the surface. Therefore, avoid exposure to sunlight.
- Absorption of unpleasant odors.
- Some tannins used in processing can adversely affect the body.
Leather is the most practical material, which, thanks to its texture, allows you to visually express the depth of color.
Much less often, leatherette is used as upholstery. Artificial material does not have high performance. This makes the sofa less durable and comfortable.
