Paint colour for a living room with charcoal grey sofas

8 years ago

Hi

We have recently just moved into our 1st home and have bought charcoal grey sofas, I am really struggling to pick a paint colour for the walls. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have attached some pictures of the room. (Please ignore the green walls we inherited)

Thanks

Victoria

Charcoal is neutral so will go with anything. What direction does the room face and what kind of look and feel are you wanting to create?

Hello Plymouthlass, You have a good amount of seating in your Living Room, and a nice, neutral grey to work from in the sofa fabric. I’d suggest adding some warmth and interest to the room. Wallpaper would work well; alternatively some eye catching art work would look great along the main wall behind the sofa with painted walls (re-hanging the existing mirror on a side wall). I’d then add a rug under your coffee table and two side tables either side of your small sofa. These side tables would be a great place to locate a pair of table lamps. If you need additional storage in your room, trunks rather than side tables would give you storage and table space. A big difference would be to add a touch of softness and texture to your window by adding a pair of curtains with tiebacks would be ideal. Don’t forget to try and fit your curtain pole near the ceiling as this creates the illusion of a greater ceiling height.

Thank you everyone for your great suggestions. I don't have a lot of money I'm afraid so can't really splash out buying everything new. My bedroom is Mauve with light grey accessories which I love but I don't really want to copy that in the living room. I do think a carpet would make the living room warmer as its quite a cold house. But would that mean more grey (for carpet)?! As comfortable as the sofa is, it was probably not my best idea as its limiting choices. I just need to decide on a completely different colour or light grey and light grey curtains. I like the geometric suggestions but maybe in a white/silver or the peacock blue wall. Also I had one of the side walls yellow at one point but got bored of that too. Thanks again for all your help.

Ah, can't be sure, but it looks a lot like F&B Pitch Blue. Keep in mind that colours that you see online will most probably look very different in your home, because the light will be different. Also, photos are almost always manipulated, and all screens will give a slightly different image, so even if they mention which paint they've used, it might look different in real life. Best thing is to try a couple of colours out in your room, not smaller than A4 size really, to get a good idea of how it will look. Good luck

It all depends on the mood you want the room to have. A few options here: white is always the safe option to go with charcoal grey or have a look at the colours French Grey 113 or Mono 218 from Little Greene. However, if you would like bold options you can also go for a burgundy or Carys 148 colour from Little Greene. The last two would also work in your room if it receives loads of natural light.
