Among hand-woven and machine-made carpets, there are three general color categories, in which the way to set the sofa and other decoration components is completely different. These three colors are respectively: light, dark and neutral.

For navy carpets, using furniture with white, cream and light blue colors is considered an ideal option for setting, and also using brown furniture sets will give a special effect to your home, and more for furniture It is classic and easy to use.

But if your answer is to choose a traditional and ordinary style, it is better to use complementary colors for curtains and sofas. The complement of red is green. The use of this color combination as well as the use of blue, yellow, orange, white and milk colors for other household items is very beautiful.
