Graphite colour sofa, colours to go
Ordered a new sofa today in a completely different colour than planned and now feel in a bit of a tizzy about colours to go with. In store they had lots of blues. We have real oak mid brown floor, swansdown grey walls. Ordered sofa with wooden feet instead of silver in the pics.
All I can picture is purples with it but husband is keen on rusty colours - I'm not convinced.

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 Morewhat colour sofa would go in room.with teal walls?
Comments (7)Hi Minnie and Carolina. Yes I changed it to Muga from Paint and Paper library. We bought some artwork for a joint 'big' birthday and felt it needed a more saturated wall to put it on. I have been teaching my students alot about dark/light versus dull/bright colours! Indian Yellow is lovely but I like the more retro feel of this....See Morewhat colour walls would go with a raspberry sofa
Comments (6)White, cream (to buttery yellow), sage, grey (either very pale or very dark). Just type "red sofa" in the search bar and choose photo's > living room > type 'open concept'. Inspiration appears ;)...See Morewhat colour paint/sofas to go with this fabric?
Comments (4)Very pretty fabric. The background grey of the curtains would make a lovely wall colour. I don’t think you need anything bolder as the fabrics are quite bold. A pale grey carpet would be a nice neutral. I think you could go quite bold, if you dare, with the sofa though - bright green or teal, or pink. I think the Parker Knolls would look great in a bold velvet, but if that’s too much then a muted grey will still look great and you can liven them up with colourful cushions. Here’s some ideas, but I couldn’t find many images of curtains like yours with a sofa!...See More

7 years agoRust/orange should work with dark grey. I think you can just about add whatever accent colour you like.
Perhaps it's best to wait until it's been delivered and then take a look at what it needs. You can always take photos then and post them here to ask for more to the point ideas.

7 years agoHi. The sofa is neutral so you can choose pretty much any colour you like : mustard, burnt orange, greens such as moss, grass, lime etc. you could also use more pastelly colours such as blush/dusty pink as shown here (not keen on the grey on that fire though!) or amethyst. Perhaps agree on your joint favourite colours then post back for actual shopping suggestions? As Carolins said you adding photos will help

Talking of cushions, here are some pictures that might inspire you. As others have said, you really could choose any colour - grey is brilliantly versatile. Yellow will add a sunny splash, blush pink a touch of femininity, but rust as your partner suggested will look fab too. If you're set on purple, why not try a lilac shade to lighten up the expanse of grey? You could choose matching curtains in a fun pattern to complement your contemporary space?
