5 Ways to Style a Le Corbusier Sofa

The Le Corbusier Sofa Lc3 is an iconic piece of furniture that adds some elegance and class to any room.

The Lc3 sofa is a reproduction of the original that was designed by French designer Le Corbusier in 1929. The design debuted at the Salon d’Automne exhibition in Paris. It’s a classic style for those who love anything art deco.

So how can you style this 1920s style sofa in your modern home? I’ve come up with 5 ways to do this!

 

With trendy accompanying furniture

One of the most interesting ways that you can enhance the presence of your Le Corbusier Sofa Lc3 is by surrounding it with great accompanying furniture.

If you’re searching for some inspiration then look no further than the above image. It features a neutral themed living room which the Lc3 is a prominent part of. However, had it not been for the simple coffee table, matching arm chairs, and relevant décor that accompanies it, the whole sofa might have fallen flat. The importance of styling all lies in the choice of sofa you make. Choosing a sofa isn’t always easy, but the Lc3 always delivers.

 

A satisfying backdrop

The design of the Le Corbusier Sofa Lc3 is a unique blend of low-brow and sleek elegance which is why it needs a simple but impactful backdrop to stand out. The rectangular grooved grey backdrop featured in this image is an excellent example of how you can carry this aesthetic in your own homes.

If you’ve got a commercial setting, then you can even go for large pieces of alucobond sheets for a corporate look. The above image reminds me of some fancy office complex from Suits or 50 Shades of Grey!

 

Work that colour scheme

The colour scheme and overall finish of your Le Corbusier Sofa Lc3 matters a lot in how you can enhance its personality within your interior design.

For example, if it’s black and chrome, then the immediate backdrop within the sofa’s surroundings has to be the complete opposite for it to stand out while the periphery can be just as dark in colour. The contemporary living room featured in this image is a great example; its city scape backdrop and black achromatic interior work perfectly in tandem to enhance the presence of the Lc3 sofa.

 

Add some colour contrast

If you want to get rather eclectic with the kind of ambiance that you want to construct around your Le Corbusier Sofa Lc3, then you need to invest in some colourful furnishings and accessories. Just take a look at the above image for inspiration. This is one of my favourite ways in which the sofa has been styled.

The use of flame red Barcelona stools coupled with the beautifully patterned rug, colourful book spines, and the transparent backdrop makes the whole ambiance so visually dynamic. However, the Lc3 sofa remains centre stage with its powerful and charismatic black and chrome presence.

This style combines art deco with modern boho through the patterned rug, colourful bookshelves and plants. And just look at that spiral staircase!

 

Get neutral and sophisticated

The inverse white and black colour scheme of the Le Corbusier Sofa Lc3 featured in this image is another great example of how you can enhance the presence of such a sofa. It comes in many colour/material combinations, so you can take advantage of this fact to deliver a very unique ambiance.

The firm neutrality and graceful wooden accents of the surroundings of this sofa are beautiful. I just adore that wooden wall.

 

As you can see, there are a lot of ways that you can elevate the presence of the Le Corbusier Sofa Lc3 in your home interiors.

We hope that these 5 ideas help you come up with some customised set-ups of your own, no matter what sofa you have!
