Hello, we've just bought a John Lewis soda in Henley duck egg which is a medium deep colour. We have a smallish living room so want to keep it bright without being magnolia. What paint colours might go with the duck egg to keep things bright but intresting? Thank you.

8 years agoHello jodief83, Duck egg blue is a really lovely colour.. Even in a small room you can create drama and interest.. I would go for something like chamois by Little Greene and then team it with whitening also by LG... really chalky and matt Then you could accent the sofa with some yellow cushions and cream and perhaps carry some of the theme into other areas of the home.. Silvered or nickel accessories would look good too like a silvered mirror (antique if you can find one) : ))

Comments (6)Hi Jodie. Do you have a pic of the ceiling? At minimum I would paint the eaves and walls the same colour, if not the ceiling too. painting everything in the one colour will increase the height visually...See Morestruggling with my duck egg living room, help!
Comments (16)I hate to say this as you have just had curtains & pelmet put up, but if you were starting again I would let the curtains hang on either side of the window so they didn't cover the window at all, just the wall when pulled back, this will increase the amount of natural light you have coming in significantly, it would also mean you can lose the tie backs which can look a bit old fashioned. Also it looks like you have one standard lamp & presumably something in the ceiling, add loads of lamps, either freestanding or on tables, also a large mirror opposite the window will reflect light. Also if you look at the pictures above the rooms are quite busy with shelving, ornaments, side tables etc however as it is all in one colour palette it still looks calming. The style of sofa does make a big impact on making the whole scheme look more modern. Also worth thinking about wall paper which can be in the muted tones but can have a texture or low key pattern to it & if you were only going to do one wall, so only a roll or two, you could get an expensive paper with some wow factor to it....See MoreColour scheme with duck egg blue

Regency New Jacquard Cream Kingsize Duvet Cover or like the other suggestions a cream would complement the duck egg beautifully. you can take a look at the rest of the bedding we offer here.
