Help me pick a couch?

[MrsPotatohead]

This is the one I'm getting (have wanted for a while, finally going to pull the trigger and it's on sale) www1.macys.com/shop/product/chloe-velvet-tufted-sofa-only-at-macys?ID=351407&CategoryID=35419&LinkType=#fn=MATERIAL%3DFabric%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D215%26ruleId%3D%26slotId%3D6

Having seen them in person, this shows the colors more accurately:


I'm torn between granite and seafoam. Both work well with our color scheme, which I would say is something like this (plus grey):


Current couch is the most boring brown (poor first furniture choice by us), plus I hate the shape. Everything we've picked out has been neutral (shifting towards greys, used to be browns) because I'm normally too nervous to commit to a color for such large pieces - I've accented with a lot of other things to bring in color (throws, pillows, art). Plus we rent so painting isn't an option - thus everything is cream (walls)/brown (hardwood). The seafoam would be so fun and I love it, but I worry that we'd get tired of it?  Granite is the safe choice (and perhaps make more sense for a future house?) and is really beautiful, I just wonder if I should be more adventurous.

My bff has the granite and it's gorgeous.

I'm more willing to be adventurous with accent pieces than large furniture.

I'd go with granite but I'm conservative with furniture. I also feel like the lighter seafoam color will show more dirt.

Granite. The seafoam would be great for a chair, but I wouldn't like the colour for a couch.

I agree with this. I think your palette leans toward brighter/warmer greens and that the seafoam would detract from that.

(But, I have a yellow couch, so maybe I'm not the best for advice here...)

I love the seafoam, even as a couch. But not with those accent colors. So I voted granite.

I am also in the market for an accent chair so it's crossed my mind that I could do a more fun chair instead

I like the Seafoam a lot (and I've seen it in person). It's a risk to opt for the color, but IDK how likely it is that your style will change SO drastically that a relatively neutral color won't work anymore. It's a pretty versatile color.

The Granite, to me, is just like every other couch. But I'm definitely not into neutral decor, so take that for what it's worth!

ETA: I'll also say -- I think the Granite is more brown than grey, so if you already have a lot of grey in your color scheme, it might not match that well. 

Have you seen the granite in person? I was trying to google (I've only seen the seafoam in person) and pictures seem to show a range, I am really hoping it's not brown.

As for the other greys, in the living room nothing else is grey except the rug right now:

oooh you could answer this question, is is more true grey or brownish? googling is showing me both and I really don't want it to be brown...

[MrsPotatohead]

The dining room currently has no color, only grey curtains so I'm also looking for a rug to brighten up that room in case anyone is bored

[cabbagecabbage]

Granite. It will look great!

[MrsPotatohead]

ok, seems like granite is the clear winner and I'm feeling good about it, ordering now!

Minority Seafoam fan here. My couch is teal and I love that I chose a couch that's a fun color.

I hate the "afraid we will get tired of it argument"- like, there's nothing that says you have to keep this couch for the rest of your life. And who says you wouldn't get tired of the granite?

I own the seafoam and love it. I have had it for 3 years and it's wearing incredibly well. I'm not tired of it yet.

[killercupcake]

I saw it at a store a while ago, but I don't think it looked more brown than grey.

It doesn't look comfy to curl up and watch movies. Have you tried it out in person?

So my friend actually has it in cream and loves it, I thought it was pretty comfortable although not as squishy as ours.

Just got it though and it's perfect! Bonus, the arms on ours were so huge, even though this is the same size, you can fit more people.

thanks for the help, I love it so much
