This room reminded me of yours. I would go with a lighter beige sofa. As far as a rug and accents colors it depends on what you want to feel being in the room. Do you want it airy and bright, colorful or darker and moody?

Beautiful room btw!

I missed this part, the previous photo was taken 10 years before this current photo of the same living room.

You can go any color you like, the room is very neutral. Would have to see the rest of the space to give specific colors.

Beautiful room.

I can see many colors doing great here. Tan, sand, camel, red, pale pink, emerald, royal blue, aubergine, butter yellow, light gray..

Black too-if you prefer something leggy and visually light.

I agree-it'd be easier to tie the choice of the sofa with your other color choices, as in a rug you love.

Or, if not much there yet-pick the sofa in the color that speaks to you the most. And go from there. That's potentially-less successful way, but that's what I did when I did not know better, and also didn't have what to sit on:) and I was pretty happy with the results.

(truth to be told-still can't find this rug..))

Colorful sofas are much easier to work into the different color schemes, than it seems. Even when you repaint in, say, several years-most of the colors will still work.

Just make sure you really love that color.

I would stay away from black or dark brown just because it can read so heavy. That might not bother you though. My pick would be mid range brown or a color.
