Living room dilemma

6 years ago

I have a Turquoise Sofa in living room. I want to recover a winged back chair and a 50’s Cocktail chair. The walls are all cream in the living room. What colours would go with the Sofa.

It depends on the shade of turquoise but coral, terracotta and shades of orange or yellow could work. I might consider doing the cocktail chair in a patterned turquoise fabric and the wing chair in a shade of orange

natural linen fabric would match perfect to walls and sofa colour .

Hi. Is everything already ordered/bought? I might look at linen for the curtains if not to add a different texture. Does the fireplace actually exist? If it does I might have the furniture arranged at right angles to it. Have you already looked at sisal or sea grass rugs? I think the texture adds warmth. I might be tempted to add a little more colour, aubergine would work for a pattern in cushions, art etc. Do also mix up the textures for cushions, throw etc and add some pattern. I might also add brass or gold for a mirror, picture frames etc as it will look great against the olive. Plants also add life, at minimum I'd add a large potted one by the patio doors.

This is what it looks like now, we’ve not touched this room since we moved in ;( we had some brill ideas on the initial post, unfortunately I’m still stuck on the layout, Ive got to keep the same sofa and flooring (and patio doors) for costs but everything else can go but can’t seem to do anything with the layout, I hate this room :((

Thanks so much for all your tips. I’ve realised that I definitely don’t like a white stripe above the picture rail as I don’t think it works. But I like the photo called Clapham received there seems to be a stripe of white left under the cornice which looks interesting. Agree paint is the cheapest thing to replace - Although painting takes forever. I’m doing it myself as I got quoted £700 for painting a room! will start with fireplace chimney and opposite wall First and then see. I’d like to keep the fireplace wood unpainted as I really love how it looks right now

Hi Sharon, I like the idea of herringbone. But I don't believe the arch/flooring decision need to be related. It's a modern looking arch not the 'traditoonal 90s' one so looks fine. I agree with Ellie to treat the rooms as two and have armchairs to enjoy the garden view. Re curtains...is the blue on the dresser wall the same blue as the one on fireplace wall please? Can't quite tell from pics...

Warm colours would look great with teal, such as a mustard, orange or a blush pink. It sounds like a beautiful project, good luck!
