The Kendrick Sectional, however, is a solid chenille blue sectional in a league of its own! Also available in chocolate, the sectional comes with a pull out sleeper with 4′ memory foam for ultra comfort when you have guests over.

Blue is said to bring down blood pressure and slow down respiration and heart rate. Thus having blue accent pieces in your “rooms of relaxation” will add an aura of peace and tranquility, while instantly making any room more vibrant.
Which Colors Complement Blue?
Blue represents the tranquil sea, so earthy colors from the other elements like brown, grey, green, and black complement it well!
