Cybele is not a velvet and the shapes are very similar to what you had in mind. Should Romo have a colour way that goes with your scheme ask for a sample. Try to visualise it in your room. Depending what you are trying to achieve (style wise), what you have around it and the size of the window, you could make it work. I have seen it in Roman blinds in a bedroom and it looked lovely

Tell us: Do you have any home renovation regrets?

Whilst I recognise there's a few tradespeople on here bemoaning fussy clients I have to say my biggest regrets when renovating my house was not being specific enough with trades! We had an electrician put in an extra light switch in the hall to control both the downstairs and upstairs lighting. He put it in a good 10-15cm lower than the other switch further along the same wall which looked completely ridiculous. Made him move it in line with the other one much to his annoyance. Another similar incident was with a vertical column rad for the kitchen - whilst I was specific enough this time to ask it be centered to the wall it was on, he installed it much higher than needed with about 30cm of pipe sticking out the bottom! It would have looked much better in line with the doorframe adjacent. Had to learn to live with that one. We had engineered wood floors put in upstairs - the fitter used the shortest wall in the smallest room to take a plumbline from. When it came into the hall it was obviously on a complete wonk. By this point I'd gotten a bit better at speaking up and ensuring we actually got what was needed (and paid for!). He had to take it up and re-lay using the hall as the plumbline. Looked so much better but he was extremely annoyed! After all this I learned to use masking tape to direct exactly where pipes/light switches/trim should be fitted so there was no room for 'interpretation'. I also forced myself to speak up more and advocate for what I really wanted. That said I'm a designer by trade so I generally know what I want and how to make it look good but was definitely a bit too shy to contradict trades in the beginning!

Lovely choice, has a very ethnic feel which I love. Such a beautiful room too! I always choose my window treatments last, after decorating done and bedding sorted, so you can tie it all in. I like to add a splash of colour with curtains and blinds, just like you. I think that room can take quite a highly patterned fabric so just follow your heart. Fabric is always such a personal choice and we all like difference things. Heres a few ideas, but I think I still prefer your blue choice, not sure about the orange.

Can you help me make my living room work?
Q

Blue (sofa) and creamy/yellow (walls and to a certain degree carpet) will always fight so something has to give. I think the creamy wall behind the sofa is too light, too sickly and too yellowy. Whilst I'm not particularly keen on the wallpaper, I think the cream walls are throwing it out. If they were fixed, you may be able to keep the carpet, and perhaps add a rug. I don't think painting the walls blue will help either, it won't connect with the wallpaper. If keeping the wallpaper you may want to find a more taupey neutral that blends with the new sofa, old sofa and wallpaper. The curtains are yellowy too. A good plan it to keep to yellows, creams and warm neutrals of go for taupes, greys and blues. Mixing them is very tricky.
