Colour to go with duck egg sofa
Comments (8)Hi, I'd suggest keeping the colour scheme to light greys and blues since the room is small. A white wall would over power the room, giving it a cold and un homely feel. I think Cornforth White by Farrow and Ball (Image 1) would be perfect. It's not too harsh and it's not too 'clinical' shall we say, it's a washed out grey. I also think A8630D by Crown Paints Trade would do perfectly (image 2). Note: Both images show the paint colours in natural lighting as appose to fluorescent. I don't know how small the room is but I'd suggest, as so to balance the colour in the room, you place a piece of blue-grey art work on the wall, this will add depth. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to get in contact and I will be happy to help. Meredith...See MorePlease help me ,i am lost,Need help with my living room
Comments (9)I agree with Red80 re furniture layout. There are lots of good things in this room, I just personally find the cushions and blinds clash with the chandelier and wallpaper. I would swap the 2 geometric cushions for softer patterns in lighter grey/white/duck egg. I'd get something with different textures as the cushions fabrics look the same atm? Add accessories to your coffee table, maybe just a pile of books, a vase of flowers, and an "ornament" in wood/ceramic/pewter etc again for texture. When budget allows swap the blinds for Roman blinds. Try blinds 2 go or Tuiss which is their sister company if you're in the UK. I can't remember the exact price but I got pure silk Roman blinds for 2 really large windows for c£450 which sounds a bargain to me although not yet up:) I agree the mirror is a little high. If you can, without leaving a hole on show in the wallpaper, I'd lower it as long as it doesn't reflect the tv! I'm not sure the pics to the left of the window work as they're obscured by the curtains. Perhaps also a taller vase/pot in the blue for the tv cabinet to detract from the tv a little more? Alternatively you could change the wallpaper and the mirror to give the room a contemporary rather than classical feel...See MoreNeed help in my living room
Comments (4)I'd move the sofas around a little too. So when you have the new one, separate the armchairs and have one either side of the sofa. Move the T.V to the right hand rear corner from under the mirror. All the cushions that you have should work well with your chocolate brown as should the curtains. When you have the sofa you'll be able to judge better what else you might need. For instance changing the T.V unit for a wooden one, changing the mirror and the picture frames for wooden ones. Then you may wish to add in another accent colour for a little more depth. Steer away from the two tone walls, as these are a little dated now. Instead go for one plain colour on three walls and a darker feature wall. Again you could use chocolate to match the sofa and the tops of the curtains. Add in a gold edged mirror to match the light fittings and it gains some depth....See MoreHelp me furnish my open plan living/dining room
Comments (4)Thanks so much for your comment. This is my only living space, so looking to have a dining table, sofa, coffee table, chair etc. In the picture where you can see my kitchen - to the right, I have three windows, and behind me is just a bare wall with a radiator. I will send more pictures. Thanks again :)...See MorePumpkin
