Beige or Taupe goes very well with Mauve, with cream accents.

If you like, you can just compare paint colour cards at the store of similar colours to see the effect.

Love mauve, my childhood bedroom was mauve.
Good luck.

Gray/charcoal can also be a nice option with mauve.

Taupe walls, eggplant/lime green pillows thrown in to bring it more up to date. Love the purple sofa in the picture......do you dare?

Thanks Everyone! Plenty of ideas to go forward. :)

Good2,

Do you have a picture of the recliner that you can post? The word mauve does not always mean the same color to all.
