Rust leather suite I don't want the expense of changing it.
I have tried autumn colours cushions etc but need a total change.
I will possibly be hanging sand/neutral coloured curtains.
Trying turquoise picture, undecided.
At present fireplace wall miserable weave wallpaper.
We are in the process of adding a granite or slate hearth & inserts to update the fireplace
So, what colour for walls, cushions, throws, and pictures. HELP!!
Should add a large mirror over the fire?

What colour compliments this wallpaper
Comments (2)hello and welcome. its a very neutral wallpaper. seeing that your sofa is cream, which is also neutral, you can use just about any colours you wish. one way to decide is this: chose the shade of the wallpaper that you most wanted brought out (eg. red of the stalks). and use bright scatter cushions &/or art &/or a rug (or do you already have a rug?) to make it noticeable....See MoreWall colour and carpet colour suggestions for this hall tile?
Comments (13)Hello Dub M, Well it also depends on what else colour wise you're choosing for your scheme.. Whether you want bold and dramatic or whether you want something lighter in feel... Using them sparingly with a lot of plain in between or perhaps as boarders can then lend themselves to accent rather than statement... All depends on what you want from them as they're versatile! For pale schemes.. Think of colours such as creams, wheat and pale sun hued creams with hints of yellow.. Light and earthy tones on the cream, wheat, canvas, hessian colours perhaps beige and pale mustards, or pale golden creams and burnt siena with hints of brown,ochres .. For bold consider dark almost purple blues and hints of mauve.. Also Charcoal and greys with black and brown hues... For a warm but dramatic look.. The colours are chalky and have depth... Include wood work and again wall covering is versatile in that it could be half height or whole height.. Put tiles and colours together to see what you like.. Paint onto squares of paper no less than A4 and place them where you might want to use them.. Look throughout the day to see how they react and interact with their space and the changing light.. From one colour you can begin to mix it to blend and become another.. In this way you can see colours interact with each other. Use versions of them by working with lighter and or darker varieties of the chosen colour.. Here's a doodle to show the colours blue and others I'm suggesting so you can see the blue is still quite dominant. I rather like blue and elements of yellows, old golds and creams.. Look at the tiles themselves too for inspiration... : ))...See More1930's Art Deco Fireplace - colours and design to suit
Comments (6)In terms of sofas, you might like the Lune sofa from Fritz Hansen. It's got a lovely Scandinavian style, and is curved and soft, so fits in with lots of different interiors, including an Art Deco room. Here's an example of one with a gorgeous fireplace: Lune Sofa 6 Seater Florence Knoll Low Table Kaiser Idell 6556-T Table Lamp You mentioned liking grey as a colour scheme, which looks great in varying shades with accents of brown or earth tones: Lune Sofa 4 Seater Fri Chair Drop Chair Upholstered in Leather Kaiser Idell 6580 Floor Lamp Caravaggio Read Table Lamp Hope that helps, and enjoy the rest of your research!

Comments (4)Going for a white sofa would help create a light and airy living room. The white sofa would match the airy elements you already have in the room: the light pastel wallpaper and blue chimney heart, the white skirting, the light coloured wooden flooring. The black of the fireplace hearth can be tied together with details like black legs for the white sofa, black legs (maybe hair pin legs) for a white coffee table or for a cabinet (cabinets with legs look very smart: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alisoncaporimo/legs-for-days). Black cross legged lounge chair & ottoman in a navy blue would match the navy curtains. See through furniture helps for an uncluttered feel: transparent chairs, glass table, thin furniture legs, x leg ottomans. The window coverings also have to be in light materials. Consider introducing flowy sheer fabric with or instead of the navy curtains. White or light pastel coloured area rugs in the room and avoid choosing area rugs featuring heavy and busy patterns. Braided area rugs in pastel and light colors also make a good selection. Some pictures below:...See Moresyd312r

9 years agothe only problem with taking down dado rails it will mean re plastering which is costly. It does look nice with chimney breast as a feature but it can also look great with the whole wall into the recesses included. As you have the dado rail it is easier to use paint or depending on the paper you can paper either side of the rail and create a dramatic whole wall. see images. Fabric for the curtains i would tie in with your accent colour and you can always have a leading back / front edge in a contrasting colour of the sofas or a panel as per the images.

9 years agoChimney breast a nice Matt ruby red colour. Curtains in cream with a dark red accent. Dado rails should be removed at some point as they enclose your room from a visual perspective. Try red and beige/gold cushions. Here is a photo of our Snug. Hope this helps.

9 years agoJust wanted to keep you posted. We actually made the decision & removed the dado rail, dirty dusty job but walls now replastered. I have uploaded a photo of some cushions I have bought to try, Turquoise/grey/white/ mustard.pattern would like your comments. Also would the palest grey walls and maybe a grey/white wallpaper on fireplace look totally out of place with our blasted reddie rusty sofa?? Thanks for the inspiration. Fran

9 years agoInstead of removing the dado rail you could pain the top half of it a pale duck egg colour and the bottom half could be wallpapered
Ignore the table in the front but the wall design is the point. Not this dark paint on the rail but I think you can get the idea
