Will choosing mismatched furniture be a disaster?
I have an odd shaped living room and we can fit a 2 seater and 3 seater and probably one more small chair. I really don't like the idea of having matching sofas as I feel its too furniture shop window looking!
However, are these sofas a bad idea to match ? I love the colours as our walls are a warm light grey (skimming stone farrow and ball) and our floors are a dark chocolate brown wood. Maybe the grey sofa in a neutral/beige colour will look better?
I was thinking of a leather butterfly chair as a third seat and beautiful cushions and throws to bring the sofa colours together..
What do you think? Am I mad and do these look awful together? (ps. I do not want armchairs as its not enough cosy seating)
Thank you!

6 years agoI don't think it's a bad idea at all. I think how you pull the room together is going to play an important part in the overall finished look and feel e.g. cushions, lighting, coffee table, rugs, wall art etc.

Also, saw these online: http://www.madeindesign.co.uk/prod-coogee-sofa-3-seaters-by-sentou-edition-ref13691-a-3.html http://www.gordonsfurniture.co.uk/clarence-seater-buttoned-seating-chesterfield-leather-sofa-orange-p-1138.html That last has shown up in a few shops, with or without swarovski cyrystals, and looking a different shade of orange in every photo, so is easily not the colour shown in this one.

Comments (5)Hi there! I like the tiles! May be your temptation to paint the whole place white is a good idea. I think Vanilla White from Dulux will look nice and bright up the space. Your can use cobalt carpet for staircase and you have plenty of possibilities to be original with art or pictures and accessories....See MoreHow to brighten up an ex-council house
Comments (28)If you're working on a tight budget, how about some little things now so it looks cheery to come home to while you decide what to spend your money on? You could get some colour out there with some pots, or hanging baskets maybe, without breaking the bank. What about some climbers? I lived in a house very like this as a kid, and my mum always had pots and baskets and honeysuckle on a trellis by the door (painted bright coral...), so it was always a riot of colour and really cheerful. Then take your time choosing a door and a colour you love, or planning a porch....See Moreneed help choosing colours
Comments (6)Hello Doubtmom, Firstly brown upvc is far nicer than their white counterparts.. It is something you are able to paint over if you wanted to.. So sage or charcoal for example are no longer dreams... The same goes for the front door if this too is upvc. http://www.kolorbond.co.uk/kolorbond-paint-plastic-pvc-upvc http://www.sandtex.co.uk/products/sandtex-pvc-u-primer/ On to colours.. Whitening by Little Greene is a good one for the ceiling.. It could go on a wall or two and if you wanted the woodwork.. It's creamy but really chalky and bright.. which is nice for a darker room... Have a think about what colours you like, and are there any specific features to the room that will have an impact.. Do you have a favourite piece of furniture that is a specific colour that will determine what is going to be used on the wall.. No need for me to suggest testers and paper as Jessica has already said this.. So on to a more dominant colour something like Callaghan also LG could be lovely.. It's a really warm slightly rust or old rose with a hint of earthy brown.. Some copper and gold accessories can work nicely too.. Along with earthy colours like stones, beige, light browns and some light charcoals.. Choose a warm coloured velvet sofa for rich luxury, some throws to layer and cushions to compliment.. Woods and textures will help to warm the room too as well as natural rug or carpet.. A few ideas based on a rich earthy warm palette.. : ))...See More
