1 Sofa, 5 Ways
You already know that a sofa with clean lines and neutral tones is a timeless choice, a piece able to outlast fleeting trends and give you years of quality comfort. But a classic can also be a chameleon, easily taking on the tone of its style surroundings and evolving along with your aesthetic over time.
We took one of our favorite classics, the Gemma sofa, and created five living rooms around it, each in a different style: modern farmhouse, traditional, mid-century, glam, and coastal. Our classic Gemma looks completely at home in all five!
MODERN FARMHOUSE
Modern farmhouse style is all about a relaxed, lived-in look. Neutral tones, like cream and taupe, set a simple foundation for furniture and walls. Natural materials — think wood, sisal, burlap, and cotton — add warmth and ease. Black accents create contrast but keep the scene calm.

TRADITIONAL
Traditional style takes on a more formal air. The color palette is restrained, using different tones of a central neutral. Furniture features more ornate details — curved arms, carved legs — and dark wood finishes. Floral or plaid upholstery adds color and texture, and gold finishes provide a hint of refined glow.

MID-CENTURY MODERN
For mid-century style, sleek shapes and clean lines are key. Furniture detailing is minimal, save for iconic tapered or hairpin legs. Quiet-colored walls let accent pieces do the talking — bring in atomic-era shades of teal, orange, or mustard with textiles and add pattern and movement with abstract art or a bold rug.

GLAM
Glam style turns the drama up to 11. Colors are bold and saturated and patterns are overscale and graphic. Materials are luxe — think velvet, faux fur, and glossy lacquer — and furniture features and curvy shapes and undulating lines. Accents are the jewelry of the room, adding sparkle and shine with mirrored and metallic finishes.

COASTAL
Coastal style transports you to a slow afternoon at the seashore. The look is pared-down and laid-back but also layered and collected. The palette is a collection of sand-and-sea hues of cream, beige, and sunwashed blue. Natural materials — rattan, driftwood, cotton, stone — and organic shapes define the furniture and accents. Decor is simple, highlighting keepsakes and natural beach finds, rather than nautical touches like anchors or fish.
