Coordinate with cold colors
Just by looking at it, cold colors can calm the mind and give the impression of sincerity and calmness. They are also suitable for situations that require concentration, so we recommend that people who often work remotely from home take advantage of this effect.
Tress recommended cold-toned fabrics
Cold colors are called retrogressive (contracting) colors, which appear to move backward. Conversely, warm colors are called advance colors, which appear to jump forward and may give too strong an impression. Recommended cold colors are "blues. Here are some coordinates that incorporate blue sofas, which give a fresh and cool impression.

We have matched the sofa [HM], which is compact but provides firm support up to the shoulders, with a vivid blue fabric. Blue is a color that is very useful in a limited space. It is called a "receding" or "shrinking" color, and its effect is to make a space look more spacious, so you can create a room with a clean, uncluttered impression without a feeling of oppression. You can successfully change the look by layering rugs and cushions in neutral colors in summer and winter, respectively.
Incorporate cold colors in cushion covers
Cushion covers have an excellent "masterful" position in interior design. They give a new look to a familiar sofa or room.

Summer or winter, this is a versatile item that changes the look of the season with the addition of just one.

POINT: ABOUT THE ADVANCING AND RECEDING COLORS
When a red sofa and a blue sofa are placed at the same distance, the red sofa appears to be placed closer and the blue sofa appears to be further back. Thus, even when placed at the same distance, colors that appear close together are called "advance colors," while colors that appear far apart are called "receding colors. Think of a familiar object, a traffic signal. Red is the advancing color and is easily noticeable, so it is used for stop lights.
We hope you have felt that the atmosphere and impression can be changed by introducing cold colors. Changing the sofa cover or matching cushions is as easy as changing clothes in room coordination. Whether you are just starting to choose a sofa or already have one, please enjoy the sofa style according to your mood.

We recommend that you use this color only after fully understanding the impression it gives because of its strong positive connotation.
Pink: calm and gentle femininity
Pink is a color that makes one feel gentle and calm. Because it is similar to the color of flowers such as cherry blossoms and roses, it overlaps with the image of spring and women.

At first glance, pink has a strong impression of prettiness, but by adjusting the area and tone, and by carefully assessing the texture, you can enjoy a variety of expressions.

Orange, the color between red and yellow, is bright, vivacious, and healthy. It is close to the color of the earth and trees, making it an easy color to feel familiar with.

White is the color of light and is associated with "purity" and "happiness.

Although green has recently become associated with healing, it was not until the 1960s that we began to apply its effects to our living environment. In an effort to achieve a color effect, the interiors of Japan National Railways trains were repainted green, which was a hot topic at the time as a restful and gentle color for the eyes. It is said that passengers responded well to the new color, and they were able to relax so much that they forgot about the passage of time and did not feel like they had ridden for a long time.

Sofa that doubles as a dining chair
The sofa is also used for dining, a style that has been seen in the past few years. As the role of the sofa increases, there are some tricks to choosing a sofa.
In the LDK type where there is no partition between the kitchen, dining room, and living room, a sofa can also serve as a dining room, making the space more spacious. In this case, what you need to pay attention to is the relationship between the sofa and the table. There are "two points" to make a comfortable living/dining room.
POINT 1 / THE SEAT OF THE SOFA IS "A LITTLE HARD".
A soft seat surface causes the body to sink into the seat, which puts a strain on the stomach when eating. Therefore, a seat with moderate firmness is optimal.
POINT 2 / NOTE THE "DIFFERENTIAL SCALE" BETWEEN THE TABLE AND THE
One thing to check is the difference scale, which represents the difference between the height to the table top and the height to the seat of the chair.
Formula for calculating the difference scale for your body shape
(Height x 0.55)/3 = Suitable difference scale
Example: In the case of a person 160 cm tall
(160 x 0.55) ÷ 3 = suitable differential scale is about 290 mm
For computer work, a differential scale of 20 to 30 mm minus another 20 to 30 mm is recommended.
TO AVOID MAKING THE LDK A CRAMPED SPACE OVERFLOWING WITH THINGS WHERE THE FAMILY SPENDS TIME TOGETHER, IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA TO ABANDON THE STEREOTYPES OF A DINING TABLE IN THE DINING ROOM AND A SOFA IN THE LIVING ROOM. BY COMBINING THE DINING ROOM AND LIVING ROOM, YOU CAN CREATE MORE SPACE AND LEAD A MORE FULFILLING LIFE.
