There's nothing like a cream sofa. In Michelle Monaghan's living room, the shade looks especially striking.
We spotted the couch color in a recent Instagram post from the actress. In the image, Michelle lies on a flaxy cream sofa on top of a throw pillow with sand-colored stripes. To the left, a glass lamp with a cream shade brings a modern feel to the space. A black and white drawing in an antique gold frame integrates a transitional, French country feel. It feels luxurious and complementary.
The piece that ties the entire room together is the living room sofa. Westchester-based interior designer, Nina Lichtenstein, explains: 'The cream couch has long been a symbol of sophistication and versatility in interior design. Its subtle elegance and neutral tone make it a mainstay in living rooms across styles, from minimalist and contemporary to rustic and traditional. While trends come and go, the cream couch endures as a timeless anchor piece, adaptable to an array of design schemes. Its soft hue and understated luxury offer a perfect foundation for personalization, allowing it to seamlessly fit into both trendy and classic interiors.'

It brings a sense of calm and balance, allowing bolder accents, such as statement lighting or rich wood finishes, to take center stage without feeling too stark.'
