Living Room Colour Scheme With Teal Sofa
After several weeks of searching we have finally ordered a new sofa for the living room. The challenge now is to decide what colour scheme. The sofa is a lovely teal blue and originally we were looking to go with a deep shade of green but now wondering if my choices are now limited to grey/white.
Any suggestions ?

2 years agoHi, we have a teal sofa, which is slightly muted on leather. We've styled it with very pale pink pastel walls, colourful cushions and grey accent chairs with gold/bronze accents...hope this helps

Comments (23)Thanks guys - some really helpful suggestions coming in! And I hope everyone's had a good Christmas. :) After talking with hubby some more, we've had a slight change of plan and decided not to go with the statement yellow wallpaper. We will still be going with the same colour scheme (mustard & grey with purple accents), but we will be painting the whole room in one colour (light grey or greige) and adding the mustard and purple with the soft furnishings and artwork. Now I'm a little stumped... having trouble imagining where the colours should come in exactly. I will list the items that will be in the room: - 1 sofa (ivory) - Gallery wall above sofa (family photos) - Sideboard which will have the TV on, and tall glass-door cabinet (both Ikea Hemnes grey-brown, which to me looks light brown) - 2 small tables either side of the sofa with lamps on - Large area rug - Hubby's desk and some floating wall shelves above that - Possibly a coffee table or ottoman - Some art (not much, it's a small room) and flowers/other greenery Now that the wallpaper is gone, the first thing I can think of that could bring in a large amount of yellow is the rug... or is it best to keep the rug a neutral colour too? Could anybody post examples of any rugs/artwork/accessories/lamps/side tables that you like and might go with my colour scheme? I am also posting some pictures of rooms that inspire me. Really struggling to envision this room! Thanks :-)...See MoreNeed help with colour scheme for living room

Comments (4)I wouldn't worry about matching up the tiles if you're not keen on having red. I think the scheme will work as long as you stick to neutral, old-school colours, muted greens, blues etc. Just don't go for pastels - that would definitely not work....See MoreTeal & Grey Colour Scheme For Lounge Help Needed
Comments (30)Just did an on-line search for "grey and teal and living room", and this thread came up. Love your ideas, and the advice you received. How did your room turn out? Can you post some pics? (I'd like to do something similar in our new rear extension which is approaching the fun decoration time)....See More

2 years agoHi, we painted our walls white but used a dark teal paint on one wall and chimney breast. We have a teal chair, tan leather sofa and navy sofa so we mixed up the cushions. The paint was from Zoffany but i can‘t remember the name.

2 years agoWe have a place at seaside, wanted to keep furnishing costs down so we painted one wall teal and bought a teal blue sofa from ikea and teamed it up with yellow and grey chairs and cushions with all 3 colours in them. We love it.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoI also have a teal sofa. I love teal!
My fave combination is teal and cherry red. I discovered it when someone gave me a red pillow that I threw down on my first light teal sofa. I really wasn't sure if those colours went together; I'd never considered that combination before. Took me a while to reconcile them as they really bounce off each other. Now, I love the combination. Adding brown or gold to the mix grounds it and adding white makes it really fresh.

thanks for those colour wheels!
Enjoy!

It’s quite surprising to see (depending on the sofa fabric) how the same colour comes across based upon the surrounding colours

2 years agoYou don't need to stick with whites and greys, there are lots of colours which would go well, Oranges, Yellows, Pinks, Tans, Browns, Blues (so long as they harmonise) and metallics like gold, bronze, silver and copper.
The only colour I'd avoid is green as it will clash with the blue (a tiny amount may be ok)
I have teal leather chairs with walls in deep teal and magnolia with woodwork the colour of wet plaster, no reason you couldn't use colours like this.

2 years agoJust by way of an update on this... sofa still yet to arrive but decided on paint colours and made a start.
We have chosen fb railings for the fireplace wall and peignoir for the others.
Old gas fireplace out and new electric fire in.
