Sun lounge colour help
new built sun lounge and I can't decide on colour schemes . New 3+2 seat sofas with large footstool matching 3seat sofa . Also new striped chair. All from Laura Ashley ( camomile/ beige sofa colours, camomile striped chair. Cushions bring in grey shades . I need ideas for rug, tv stand, lighting etc . Any thoughts please . Room is 5.5 metres by 4.5 metres. Sun shines in side window from late morning and sets in back garden ( behind bi-fold doors) so room has plenty light.

Might do it later, or leave it for another night......See MoreJewel coloured lounge help
Comments (0)We’ve got to the point of being able to decorate the lounge. We have one chocolate brown leather sofa which we need to keep and would like to add another sofa in a rich jewel coloured velvet - I had originally thought navy blue but am now thinking perhaps a rich plum / aubergine or teal colour - similar to one of the cushions (bought on a whim in advance of decorating!). I would love to go for a really dark sumptuous cosy look and feel. It’s a north facing room in Edwardian semi and we only use it in the winter so happy to embrace the dark rather than fight against it.We have teal chandelier which we’d also like to keep. Any suggestions on a) navy sofa and then complimentary wall colours or b) go another coloured sofa. Thanks for any ideas in advance....See MoreNeed help please with paint colours for Lounge
Comments (3)I love Inchyra Blue, a lovely mix of green and blue. I’m not familiar with Plummett apart from the colour chart, so can’t comment in that. A neutral for the other walls which may go are Strong White or Ammonite, but there are loads you could choose....See MoreHelp choosing colour for lounge
Comments (8)In my experience samples are best painted onto large sheets of paper that you can move around the room and view at different times of day (and night!) The green you have on one wall and sage greens are warm colours and go well with the tiles in my view. Why not consider a green on all walls rather than just one? You could choose a fairly light green if you are worried about how dark it would be. You might be surprised by how much a strong colour lifts a NW facing room....See More- 8 years ago
Thanks to both for the quick replies - I like the idea of dark furniture and also the eau de nil colour addition. There are no TVs sockets on the far wall and very difficult to add now. I'd seen a grey/ yellow setting in Laura Ashley which I liked but was unsure if it would work with my beige sofa.
8 years agoWe've got chamomile wallpaper from LA in our hallway. That would also go beautifully with your new furniture. I'll try to get a better pic of wallpaper. L.A. sable paint.

PRO8 years agoHi there! I would use the paper - it looks lovely behind the sofa and this is a big room that can take the pattern - you might find it difficult to fill with other things! Can you get matching roman blind made for the window? And maybe a plain silk curtain for the doors. The colours you’ve picked are light and fresh - perfect for a room well lit with natural light. You will probably need lots of lamplight in the evenings to keep it looking good. I would pick a light grey or beige for the other walls, that tones with the wallpaper and personally I would not go for a grey rug, I would brighten the floor area with a cream rug, not so practical, perhaps, but it will really give some love to the natural light in the room. If you have one central pendant it needs to be large, in proportion with the room. Hope this helps :)
