A sofa is the focal point of your living room—not to mention your go-to spot to hang out—so it needs to be both classy and inviting. And nothing does that quite like a cream sofa. You can give it a pop of color with some whimsical throw pillows, making easy to refresh your decor over time—it goes with everything! Although you may need to pay some special attention to spot cleaning (i.e. it’s not as kid friendly), you can't beat the way a cream sofa brightens up a room.

I’ve rounded up some of my favorite couches that come in the neutral tone, as well as ones that received high marks from PureWow editors in our PureWow100 testing. Below, you’ll find options that are comfortable, modular and work in the tightest of spaces (including one that swear saved my life).

To determine the best cream sofas, I researched the top brands on the market and tapped PureWow editors to see some of the best sofas they’ve previously tested that are available in the sought-after shade. Some of these sofas I’ve also owned and sat in for years myself. I also took into consideration factors like size, comfortability, ease of cleaning (because you know cream shows stains), and a variety of price points. Here's what made the cut.
