Help picking Colour theme for living room
Hi,
I have bought a few a few new things for our new house. lounge was original and rug and coffee table are new. Excuse the layout of everything as this is still our old place with little room to lay things out.
I need some advice of what cushions I should buy to match this theme? I would also like to buy two armchairs, what Colour and style would people recommend? I also want to try and brighten the room up with an artwork but want to tie the colors of the rug couch and coffee table into the art work, as I’m a stickler for matching and sadly I’ve never been too good with the throw everything together look.
Any suggestions would be welcomed!

Comments (19)The purpose of accent walls, IMO, is to provide interest where there is none architecturally. You appear to have architectural elements on all your walls, so I don't advise an accent wall. I think the room is choppy enough with all the elements, so it would get busy if you used two colors. If you want to start thinking about the adjoining dining room, a red-orange (half way between the yellow and violet blue om the color wheel) would work well. If is more of an appetite stimulating color and so is a good choice in dining rooms. The orange would look great next door to the violet blue....See MoreHello need help picking colors .

Comments (5)There are a few common decorating mistakes that people post about here. Their furniture is too large and too dark for their space or they purchase area rugs that are too small. The other common mistake is assuming that if you fill your room with neutrals colors they will all automatically "match". For instance, cool grey paint rarely looks good with warm wood floors or stained trim. You can decorate with warm and cool colors mixed in a room but it is easier to decorate if you choose one tone or the other. So, consider the fixed things in your space that aren't changeable - trim, new furniture, kitchen cabinet color, carpet, tile, fireplace stone, etc. That will help narrow down the color palette selection....See MoreHelp picking living room paint color!
Comments (15)@rockyroad33 BM Sparrow is beautiful! We are really open to any color but want to steer away from true grey. The room has East exposure, so it gets some natural light in the earlier part of the day. The couch s a tan color, but we are open to updating the couch if needed to go with the other elements. @Molly D. Zone4B You are correct! The color will carry into the kitchen. Revere Pewter is very pretty, but we just came from a home with a similar wall color and want to mix it up a bit :)...See More

I just bought the rug and coffee table for now and am definitely taking your advice and waiting until we move to buy some of the other items. I have attached the plan for the room. Thanks again for your help . I was very stuck! we are putting in blinds for the windows and removing the curtains for sure.

6 years agoI see you are in Australia. Do you have an IKEA near you? Their white Ritva curtains would be great for you. Mount them as close to the ceiling as possible. You can still do blinds. Something woven would be beautiful against your white walls. Would introduce a nice organic texture.

You can filter by subject and colours.

6 years agoExcellent! Make sure you get them long enough. You want to mount them as close to the ceiling as possible. Have them shortened if you must.
West Elm might be a good choice for chairs. I would wait though until you’ve moved in and can play with your layout.
