Color can help organize space by giving emphasis to an area of the room or a furniture grouping.
It can blend styles of furniture and camouflage features you don't want to emphasize. For example, to blend different styles, cover upholstered pieces in the same color. This treatment also may help make a furniture grouping seem more important. The same fabric or a combination of print and solid are possibilities. The darkness or lightness of color used attracts attention, so use contrast carefully, perhaps to highlight something special.
