Zendaya’s Sofa Color Proves Magnificent Moodiness Can Be Practical, Too
I'm convinced the luxe sofa color in Zendaya's Brooklyn apartment is absolutely perfect for every living room, no matter how busy
When it comes to choosing a sofa color, I've often relied on sofa trends to guide me. Whether it's a trending deep blue skirted style or a more relaxed silhouette made from linen, I've long looked to today's trends to inspire what I go for.
However, as helpful as couch color trends are, often the best sources of inspiration are sofas situated in the heart of real homes. Take Zendaya's dark green velvet sofa located in her Brooklyn apartment (seen in the second photo of the carousel below). Generous in size and soft in texture, it radiates moody luxury and proves the power of investing in classic colors that will never date.

For a couch color that will never go out of style, scroll to the second slide to see Zendaya's dark green sofa. It's timelessly chic and enticing. The oversized shape is part of its charm, perfectly enveloping the room in rich color and soft texture.
While committing to a whole new style can be costly, you can create a similar richness in your own living room with these three deep green picks.
Perfect for storing unsightly essentials, the Mayen ottoman is covered in rich green velvet that will bring enduring elegance to any living space.
For a dose of depth, add this moss green pillow cover to the heart of your sofa or armchair. Made from a soft velvet, it's hard to resist this luxurious staple.
For sophistication that doesn't cost a fortune, add the Encino bolster to your current living room seating for a punch of unctuous color that invites and entices.
Falling somewhere between moss and forest green, Zendaya's sofa couldn't be more classic in color. Rich enough to warm and envelop the space yet soft enough not to overwhelm or provide too striking a contrast, it's a clever choice for a room designed for relaxing and lounging after a long day.
Inviting yet still elevated, I'm convinced that deep green is one of those shades that will work in any living room of any setting. It's no wonder that Victoria Beckham's sofa color is of a similar ilk. Moody and luxurious all at the same time, Zendaya's style is masterfully classic.
Homes & Gardens' Head of Interiors Hebe Hatton, comments, 'Dark green is not only a timeless choice for a couch color, but a practical one. It's not going to easily show signs of wear and tear, and especially in a velvet its going to age nicely too. Now you do want to consider that, as with any darker sofa color, its going to add quite a lot of visual weight, so as seen in Zendaya space it's best suited to rooms that can handle that - think open, light, larger rooms, especially if you are considering a big sectional like this one, it's really going to be an anchor in the room.'
The beauty of the shade is that it goes beyond luxurious; it's cleverly easy to style too. To recreate the look at home, try this Modern Minimalist Style Chenille 3-Seat Sofa from Wayfair. There are plenty of colors that go with dark green, from neutrals such as creams and warm tans to uplifting pale pinks. A variety of shades pair well with the hue, making it a choice that doesn't feel too tricky to commit to.
I'm convinced there's no better color for a sofa than deep green after seeing Zendaya's timeless choice. Rich and luxurious yet still liveable, it's an enduringly stylish choice that couldn't be easier to blend with almost any interior design style.
