I purchased a Smith Brothers leather sofa yesterday and another much cheaper leather sofa that is made by LIU. I was told this is a knockoff of Natuzzi. First, does anyone know of LIU? I was told it was made in Italy, but searches on the web only bring me to China importers. I told the salesman I definitely did not want anything made in China. I am concerned now about the color of the Smith Brothers sofa. The lighting in the store was strange. There were spotlights over the sofa and it had a reddish tone to it, but the chairs right next to it looked brown even though they were the same color. I have burgundy carpeting and am concerned the sofa is going to clash with the carpeting. I was going to pick another brown leather with darker brown swirls to better match the recliner I now have in the living room. After picking the swatch I wanted I went back and looked at the sofa and really like that color. Also, the salesman said the swatch I picked was a grade better than what was on the sofa. I'm afraid if I go with a different color the sofa will look completely different. I told the store this morning not to put the order in for the sofa until I come back this week and talk to one of their leather experts since the salesman I had didn't know much as far as the different leathers. So, if I stay with the sofa with the red tones would an area rug be enough to break up the color? Will it look too strange to have a recliner in a completely different style and a different color? The leather recliner has the pillow arms and I hate the look, but DH wanted it.

Good that you post several angles, cause one view with sofa/blinds straight ahead: I think you don't need full curtains, but 'dummy' non-functioning panels, to widen enough to cover both ends of any seating that's there... have you tried 2 matching chairs? Other colors too: https://www.houzz.com/products/tweed-drapery-curtain-panels-pewter-prvw-vr~66988049

I love green sofas, that one is fab. If you have your heart set on it, and decide to explore other paint colors, the Farrow & Ball IG account always has great inspiration. I don’t know what the other sides of the room look like, or connecting rooms, so can’t advise for sure what would work. And F & B is pricey, but maybe similar colors could be found in other brands. These aren’t the exact color of your sofa, but I think could still work with it — This one is Setting Plaster, one of my fav F & B colors: This is Jitney: Treron: Hague Blue (notice how the lighting makes it look darker than the one above): Cornforth White: Green with DeNimes: Obviously, the styles of some of these are very different, but again, just color ideas. If you have an IG account, look up hashtags such as ’green velvet couch’ … ’green couch’ … ’green sofa’ … etc. ETA: Cawaps’ second mock-up looks good. A bold and eclectic look that could work.

Any of the blues are nice with the orange. Your idea for just using a window treatment with the blue is also nice. I like the window shade Paul used, and also look on Etsy; there are some sellers there with really unique items. I think a plum/eggplant color in your space could also be amazing. I think someone further up in the thread showed a room with that color combo. On an unrelated note: Is anyone else having problems with the site? I can pull up discussions but cannot access the comments, and cannot post new comments. I can apparently comment on posts I’ve previously commented on, and read comments on these posts. However, I can do all of this only if I access it through my Houzz “Activity” menu, and only if I am on Desktop mode on my iPhone. (Which all I use of late is an iPhone and I don’t use the Houzz app.) I’ve never had this issue before, so not sure if it’s site related.
