Hi Em,

I would have no problem putting those two items of furniture together. I would be tempted to mix up the scatter cushions as well as the colours make a lovely contrast against each other, perhaps also mixing in a coral to give an accent.

Whilst the Pindorama is an absolutely stunning wallpaper, as your main sofas are in a teal, I would suggest using a wallpaper that offers a greater contrast as the sofas might otherwise blend in to the background. Think about the visual layers you are creating here.

We also talk a lot in design about bringing the outside in. The fact that this is a garden room makes the Clarke and Clarke paper the obvious choice for me, and also contains more reds, red being the colour that is supposed to stimulate appetite and increase our appreciation of flavours. As this joins with your dining room, this would certainly be a desirable element.

Kind regards,

I hope you'll share photos :-)

I agree with the others, the 3rd wallpaper. It doesn't sound as if you have that much wall to paint so shouldn't be an imbalance of teal. I'd also go for the sofa without the chaise and have that "against" a window wall with the chair against the paper. You could use a shade of purple as your accent colour. The tufted dining bench also works with the loaf chair. Love Jonathan's colour suggestions, and they work well together, maybe a feature wall of India yellow in the dining room? Personally I might look at wood/wood effect for the floor

Hmm... if you want to carpet, I'd personally go for a loop carpet, to add some structure and prevent it all from becoming too velvetty.

Might just be me though ;-) If you're going for sumptuous luxury, you probably want to go for something smoother.
